Iceberg - the security model

I’m trying out Iceberg, the workflow automation platform. In previous posts I described adding some basic forms, views and processes in the context of a sample application. Today I’ve been experimenting with the security model. It seems both complex and powerful, with the downside that the online help seems to be only 25% populated in this area. [...]

Iceberg - Creating the First User Story (2)

I’m trying out Iceberg, the workflow automation platform. In my last post I described starting to build an application, based on this outline specification. I had just got to the point of trying to meet the first acceptance criterion on the first user story (all Project Issues must be uniquely identifiable) when I came [...]

Iceberg - Creating the First User Story (1)

I’m trying out Iceberg, the workflow automation platform. In my previous post I decided what application I was going to build, and wrote the first two user stories. Again, I’m using the Iceberg User Guide to guide me. The first thing that is quite confusing is that the environment within which you are building your application [...]

Iceberg - building the first application

I’m trying out Iceberg, the workflow automation platform. Having successfuly installed the platform on my laptop I want to start building something. Of course, the two key questions before building any software (assuming the “Why?” in this case) are “What?” and “How?”. For the “How?”, Iceberg provide a good overview on their support pages, which in essence [...]

Iceberg Workflow Automation Platform - Installation

As mentioned in my last post, I’m trying out Iceberg. Iceberg offer an “all in one” installer using the Cassini webserver, or for more complex installs you can download a zip file with the web application and a configuration script. As I already have SQLExpress and IIS7 in my laptop I chose the latter. The setup instructions [...]

Iceberg

This Read/Write Web article led me to Iceberg, a product from Irish company Fractis which aims to make it possible for non-programmers to rapidly assemble business workflow applications. The applicationn, now at version 2.1, is based on ASP.NET  and SQL Server, and is available as a free download. Licensing is free for non-profits or for up [...]

Convalescent Workout

As I touched on in my last post, I am currently recuperating from an operation on a toe. The constraints I have are that I have to keep my foot elevated as much as possible, am confined to the house, and when I do stand or walk I have to wear a special shoe [...]

High Intensity Interval Training

One of the side-effects of being laid up at home after a minor operation on my foot is that I have time to read about fitness, instead of trying to get to the gym and actually do something about it… Like many people I’m a convert to the power of interval training to give measurable fitness [...]

Enterprise SaaS and Mashups

Bill Ives’ Portals and KM blog has been in my feedlist for a while. This morning I spotted that he has been very prolific recently (across several platforms) on the related subjects of Software as a Service (SaaS) and enterprise mashups. At FASTForward, he reports on Why and How to SaaS, a view by Jeff [...]
