At Microsoft, an application and its related documents must go through a review process before public release.
I am happy to state that The Journal Manager is now in a reviewing phase. This means, the coding and documentations are all complete and it only needs to be reviewed and fixed accordingly if a problem arises.
Here is the complete list of features that are related to database (SQL CE):
- Add new record
- View all records (ascending/descending order of date)
- Edit existing record
- Delete existing record
- Search (Keyword search on subject alone, or over multiple fields)
- Custom fields(user add/delete/edit fields)
Another feature is related to file import/export. They can be done in two ways:
1. sdf file (straight off SQL file)
2. sql + xml file:
( sql : simple commands to create tables within a database, xml: data structured in XML form.)
The reason for having these two different types is the following: Sdf file would be good for transferring data over phones or other Microsoft's SQL programs. SQL+XML would be good for transporting to other applications or devices as sql syntax is similar for numerous SQL related programs and XML is widely used for data transferring between two parties.
Also, when local server framework is implemented on the phone, a valuable web service could be provided using XML format.
So, here it is.
While in the reviewing process, my goal is to explore more about roles and responsibilities of being a Programmer Writer at Microsoft as well as to explore other positions.
