Feb 10 2010 after action review notes
What did we expect to happen?
Do more (but I wasn't here.
Fewer people, more attrition
Be less enthralled by html form entry homework assignment
See how OpenMRS uses jQuery and DWR
Be in the little room
What actually happened?
In the big room
Saw how OpenMRS used jQuery and DWR
Saw html form entry in action, saw forms being filled out
Talked about how hibernate is good and bad
Saw some useful pictures. Worth >= 1000 words
Learned lots of shortcuts
What should we do differently?
Continue having more pictures (do them before diving into the code)
See "the answers" to the forms example.
Spend 15-20 minutes walking through core code of API and web, aimed at people who might contribute or need to know this
hands-on jquery exercise. demos are good, but not sufficient
have different choices of exercises, so people can do what interests them more (e.g. jquery/dwr instead of html form entry)
More spring and hibernate (need the reps)
More web layer, e.g. jquery and dwr
Continue recapping the previous day in the morning
Look at a bigger module (with good code quality), see how it works, and then dive into the code.
Know more about other example use cases out there
