Day In Review

On Friday I can continued working on the hosemonster project. I paired on adding fields and validations (lots of fields an validations) to our existing models. We had received a new specification for some models and this was the first step in implementing the specification. At lunch, Dave gave a great talk on building web sites in Clojure. I enjoyed how it was given in a framework agnostic point of view and described the commonality between all Clojure web frameworks. For Waza, I paired on Metis with Myles and Wei-Lee and discussed what methods should be on the interface for the Data Store. In the end we decided on simplicity in only offering create, update, save (update and if not available, create), find-all (attribute matched), find-first, find-by-id, delete-all, delete-first, delete-by-id. We avoided the ActiveRecord-esque temptation to use macros and offer more methods since we wanted a simple interface for all types of data stores to inherent. We then begin implementing the in-memory data store. We didn't finish and left the in-memory data store as a work in progress.
