9 Jan 2001 huge   » (Apprentice)

Well. Back to work after some holidays. Will speak about it another day. I wrote this diary entry mostly for mathieu : Tu as jusqu'à 3 mois avant la fin de ton report pour demander un report pour CDI, donc jusqu'en maî 2001.

A propos, si quelqu'un à un truc pour changer de CDI et garder son report ...

Work : I am working on a Rich Media generation tool, an admin (a gfx co-worker who has clue) will produce some templates (SMIL and HTML -- in fact XHTML) and some keys/values stuff with the keys in the templates, and the luser will have a dynamic HTML form to fill. This will be a simple app for the moment, all the keys will be replaced by their value, and whereas the SMIL and XHTML are XML-based, I will not use DOM facilities, only the text struture.

In fact, I will do a very incremental process, because :

  1. with a prototype and lots of releases, management will see that I am "working".
  2. I setup a CVS and will use it.
  3. I looked at XP and there seems to be good things in it, for example incremental process.

Too bad, I have no time to put a Junit test framework in place, so I will go live for this time.

I wrote the specs for the app yesterday, today I will do some HTML form workflow and UML diags of the app.
