I am planning out the next few steps in our ModelGlue:Unity series and would like to tally a vote. Currently our Contact-O-Matic is barebones. We went over how to use portions of ColdSpring to manage our service and to pass in configuration parameters. We also went over adding ModelGlue results to change the programmatic flow of the application. Following this pattern, you should have a good base on ModelGlue:Unity.
However, apart from the tabs, it has a plain-jane look and feel. Heck, it doesn’t even save the contacts for very long ;). Before all is said and done, we will add in database persistance, security, the Transfer ORM and some Ajax.
We are going to need to put database persistance really soon as it is keeping us from our larger goals. After that, there are three different paths we can go.
In the spirit of Choose Your Own Adventure ( man, I loved those books ) which would you rather we tackle next? The choices once again:
- Easy MG:U Security
- MG:U scaffolding with Transfer ORM
- Ajax Enhancements
Also, if you are following along with the series, please leave a comment or send me an email with the database you use on your development server. I am going to make an effort to be as cross-DB as I can….
