“Built in 60″ - Build Alfresco Extensions in About an Hour
March 19th, 2008
As some of you may know, we recently celebrated Alfresco’s Community Conference in San Jose, California and are ramping up for another one in Barcelona, Spain at the end of April. What you might not know is that we also held a more “intimate” three-hour technical session the night before. We kept this event deliberately small so as to ensure that every attendee could hear and be heard.
As part of this session, I introduced an Alfresco “developer challenge” I call “Built in 60″. The idea is to conceive and implement simple Alfresco extensions in roughly an hour (not a hard limit, but rather a guideline to limit scope). The response by my team and the attendees was quite encouraging.
As part of this initiative, my fellow Alfresco colleagues implemented a few “Built in 60″ projects including:
- Web Script-based Wiki
- GroovyBean-based Root Scoped Objects for JavaScript
- iPhone UI for Alfresco
- Workflow Inspector
- Apple Dashboard Gadget
We’ll be posting code and implementation details in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, checkout the following presentation which outlines these projects:
