I have completed work on the very first rough version of my web application. This will be classified as Alpha v0.1. This version is basic functionality with no skin. Now that I have this basic version complete I can begin working on my next version. I am still a ways off of a beta release but it is definitely on its way.
My goal of this version was to outline the primary functionality like user registration, user login, managing account settings, building a basic dashboard and some of the basic features of the application that I will touch more on in the coming weeks. This provides a solid foundation to build off of. The next version will start off by building a HTML5 interface utilizing HTML5 Boilerplate which will allow some better visualization of how things will work. This will be followed by some simple templating and code re-factoring and implementation of AJAX for enhanced user experience.
I will be starting on v0.2 today and am looking forward to this application taking shape. I have a full road-map outlined and the future looks exciting. I am dedicating 5 – 10 hours per week to this project as it is not a rush project at all, just a fun side project with the hopes of one day being so much more.
