outsourcing the workshop, part 2 [11/08/2006 02:14:19]

I just worked through the SQLAlchemy tutorial. It's slick. It even comes with its own ORM, which I was able to hook up to my Strongbox module after changing one line of code. I haven't tried using joins yet, but I think they should also work with Strongbox without much hassle.

My main project right now is still this javascript game, but my friend Liz is working with me a few hours a week, and we decided to make the web stuff our project. I keep wanting to call it a framework, but there's not much left of that. The only modules I'm planning to keep are Strongbox (data objects with runtime type checking and validation), platonic (sort of a component system for organizing applications), and maybe some parts of the clerks module (object-storage-mapper).

My goal is still to release the code, I'm just narrowing that down considerably. At this point, it makes more sense to package it as an application than as a web framework. So Liz and I decided our goal would be to get amoeba (sort of a free form database app) out the door.

So that should be fun.
