Progger Project
Progger is short for the "Practical Practicum Logger"; it is web application for logging hours and is used by millions thousands hundreds one person. It allows the user to log hours for a specific subject, task, and location, and then report on it later.
This project was also a chance to try out different Java server technologies and frameworks. Some of software used in the creation of Progger include:
- HIbernate - java Database persistence library
- Tomcat - J2EE server
- Spring - all around application framework
- SiteMesh - presentation and web layout framework
Where to Start?
Documentation that can be found in the "docs" directory of the fantasy eclipse project.
- The Progger in a Nutshell book (should be in stores any day now)
- More information can be found at the official Progger website.
- Also the Project Roadmap has more details on upcoming changes
What's Next?
Well development has stalled on this project since the one person who uses this is a broke college student and has not paid the final bill which was around $153,234 and 23 cents. I could see some improvements though that deal with the reporting side of the program.
Perhaps allow reports to be generated in comma delimited or excel file formats. Also it might be nice to add some type of graphics charting to the software since everyone loves a nicely colored pie chart.
