SuiteDreams Framework

Wow... It looks like I am currently getting betrayed by my own company! People who know me, know that I have been involved in Framework Architecture for almost 10 years. In fact, my lineage of framework design goes back to AT&T Wireless and my Cheyenne Mountain framework in 1997, through GroundControl (in PHP) in 2000, The Phoenix Application Framework in 2003, and now my SuiteDreams Framework. Well, today there was a huge meeting at work about 'this' framework, and lo and behold, I wasn't invited (even though I am the ONLY one who knows anything about it) and it could very well be possible that someone else is stealing my thunder. Nice... And from a company that speaks so much of 'ethics'. I can only hope that as I travel from this Division to another, that the next might be more considerate and truly 'ethical'. This does really infuriate me... This should be interesting to see how it works out...

Framework Deployment

Well, the MSI installers for our Framework and Modules is obviously not 100% together. Initial deployment was fine, but the Module hung on placing the DLLs into the Framework bin. Working on that now. Other than that, the project as a whole has worked out very well.

SDF Deployment

Well, we are deploying the first instance of the SuiteDreams Framework tomorrow, to support some DoD functionality. I am really hoping to roll it out via MSI installers. Will let you know what happens...

SuiteDreams Framework 3.0

Tomorrow is my big day to try to convince some of the powers that be, that we need a Framework to develop all our applications in. I have been working on the SuiteDreams Framework 3.0 for about 2 months now and am about 75-80% complete (or ready for it's first usages). I have put together a nice PowerPoint presentation and will walk the atendees through the why we need a Framework, why we need THIS Framework, and where we can go with it in the future. I hope it turns out to be a nice step in my professional career.

SuiteDreams Framework 3.0

I am rebuilding my SuiteDreams Framework using the Web Client Software Factory (WCSF) and so far it is turning out real nice. I have the Framework itself that has all the common controls and functionality like Users, Roles, Applications, etc. As well as having Applications (modules) that install seperately from the Framework itself, but are dependant upon the Framework for the common functionality. I have also created seperate MSI files for each so far and will have seperate ones for each of the Applications within the Framework.
