Release α.3.0: new look

This time, it is the user interface turn to be refactored:
  • debts are now presented at the same time as the expenses. Debts view is the answer to "who owes whom?" so it makes sense to show it directly when the user logs-in.

  • The UI's skin is totally renewed.

This version required a big amount of work as I now use GWT2.0.

The biggest task was to embedd all my ccs code in GWT resource modules. This allows to really reduce the amount of downloaded css

I also use the new code splitting feature of GWT so that heavy components that are seldomly used are not loaded.

I was delighted that she understood that the tool could be extended to that usage and thought that if she preferred to use such a tool rather than a piece of paper, others might also do. Finally, I have an opportunity to make something with my skills that is at least useful, even if it's unsignificant and absolutely not exciting. Geek section The first task was to choose the technology I will use to build who owes whom. I was sure to use GWT but didn't know for the server part. At that time, cloud computing and scalability were in the air. And that was also the time Google AppEngine appeared. I chose that technology rather than traditional JEE and Amazon cloud for one main reason : it is free. Plus it is Google and I like and Google ; plus it is based o...
