ASP.NET MVC Application In Action - I (DailyJournal)
- by Rajesh Pillai
Its been long due I was planning to write an article on creating some useful ASP.NET MVC application. I have code named it "DailyJournal". Its a simple application which allows creation of multiple activities and assign tasks to these activities. Its' kind of "Yet another Task/Todo application".
The credentials which you can use with the attached demo application is shown below.
Collapse Copy Code
User Name : admin
Password : admin123
Framework/Libraries Used
ASP.NET MVC
jQuery + jQuery UI (for ajax and UI)
ELMAH for Error logging
Warning Ahead
This is just a rough draft and so I am putting down some of the known limitation.
Some points of warning before we move further with this application. This is just an early prototype. As such many of the design principles have been ignored. But, I try to cover that up in the next update once I get my head around this.
The application in its current state supports the following features
Create users
Assign Activities to users
Assign tasks to activities
Assign a status to a task
The user creation/authentication is being done by the default Membership provider. Most of the activities are highly visual i.e. you can drag-drop task to different areas, in-place edition of task details and so on.
The following are the current issues with the design which I promise to refactor in the second version.
No Validations
Fat Controller
XSS/CSS vulnerable
No Service model/abstraction yet. For the demo LINQ to SQL is implemented.
No separation of layers
UI Design
et el...
