November and December
November
I've waited off writing this as there is a new release comming out in the next few days. The new release will include...
Update Status - yes seems like such an obvious piece of functionality to have, but the major change requires sending data to twitter. Before this release, twipler simply reads data from twitter and displays it. Part of the internal refactoring now includes Postback!
DataDoc - this is an internal restructuring which will make themes a little easier. DataDoc encapsulates the underlying data from twitter, be that XML or JSON. At present this is a little flakey, but the aim is to provide two methods of reading rows of data, and single items.
New template Consumer, Producers for Doc, Select and Action. Doc calls an entity method (ie, Public.Trends) and places this into an environment variable. Select selects rows from the datadoc in doc, and field displays the individual items. Action defines what code to execute during a postback, for example #action Postback="Status.Update(WebPage.FromControl(txtStatus))"#
Project restructure - Now split into three projects, the web site, a twipler code library (taking all of app_code from the website) and a Unit test project.
December
I've tagged on December to the November post as I didn't get a whole lot done in December. There have been a few updates and behind-the-scene's changes. My memory stick died and I lost a weeks worth of work. Christmas and New Year was all about the family and rarely even looking at the computer.
The highlight of the month was getting listed on twitter's own list of Open Source projects. This brings in a nice little trickle of users.
