Preparing for the poster session

In preparation for the poster session coming up in a few weeks, I've been spending some time fixing bugs and creating a useable (albeit anything from mature) data model library. In the future, I hope to wrap ActiveRecord around the DCI concept, but for the time being, a smaller, more specialized library has been developed.


The poster session content will focus mostly on the concepts behind the framework, the methods of implementation, and the advantages offered over standard MVC-based frameworks. In addition, I will explain the methodology behind the building-blocks application structure that I've shaped the framework around. Hopefully the poster session will encourage people to give the framework a try and help to make it a feasibly solution for real-world application development.


Code updates will be coming soon. Sometime in the near future, I will also be re-organizing the source repository to house the Wax Blocks in a different branch, rather than including them in the base framework. This is done in anticipation of the package management system that will eventually (hopefully in the next few months) be developed.
