I have to build Forms. Web Forms, digital versions of paper forms. You know the kind. You get probably hate filling them in.
Currently there are a few forms, but expectations are, that many, many more forms are to follow. Forms for Edit, Forms with Permissions (part of forms visible to some, editable by others), forms saved as pdf, as html. Each form can expect largely varying workflows. Data from forms to varying database schemas. A complete nightmare to implement generically, but there is a need for a lot of it to sit on top of something familiar and useful across domains and clients.
Some of the goals include:
- easier to maintain, add forms etc, than previous implementations.
- easier to edit and deploy to different sites.
- customizable workflow
- customizable processing.
- Notifications, manual override of process, some manual flow points.
This is kind of like ruby on rails meets Windows Workflow foundation. But alas that wont work out very well, as a combined technology and WCF is overkill in some areas, and might be worth doing on another level. However this is a .NET team, with no WCF experience. Would a quick Activity based object model not suffice?
I have been sitting with this for a few weeks now, and I have 90% of my plan of attack. However, I have started developing already. You guessed it, I have already built a small Framework of my own that will suit this development.
If you have bright ideas, let me know.
