Getting Started
Monday, May 28, 2007 - 07:16 PM
Google Summer of Code 2007 started today so I tried to get a sudden start more or less. Today I began coding the data form designer of the Data Form Designer Suite. I made some progress and already created the abstraction for boolean field type, which you can see in the screenshot. The general structure of the designer seems to fit, I can easily add a new field type by just writing 2 small classes.
