Thinkin on the higher level
One of my TTDI’ans asked me to join his group of entrepeneur. My job scope simply on advicing him on IT technologies and how this can enhance our daily life. This fella will act as project manager and I will be his system architect/developer/designer. This entrepenur program is under MOSTI initiative.
Now I know how this can be painful experience when it comes dealing with non technical person especially if they are the one that making the decision. I can see most higher ups see IT as an quick to setup, fast to deploy, ROI in shortest period, which I don’t agree. Explaining the PROCESS of making system and other related factors that can affect timeline proof to be my greatest hurdle in this project. They management simply, want THINGS DONE in shortest time.
My decision on technical side;
- using GRAILS or Spring ROO as our application framework
- database using mysql.
- apply AGILE manifeto
The guys approaced me last week and we were working around the clock finishing the proposal. Hopefully the proposal will be done by today.
I’ve heard about Roo lately, but haven’t had enough time to read/explore.
Is it something like Grails? From what I read (which I had the time to at least), seems like it revolves around code generations?

Something like grails, but with less plugin and concentrate on java programmers productivity. Still new though, current version 1.0.
