Learned about scaffolds, routes, controllers, and unit tests. Learned how to make iPhone-styled buttons, control the iPhone viewport, and set the iPhone application icon.

Lots of good work today! My next Time Tracker work day is Wed, Apr 2 at 5:30pm PDT. Work will continue on refactoring.

User Support (0.52 hrs)

I reviewed several of the emails from the mailing list (from last summer), and linked them to feature requests in the issue tracker.

Project Planning (0.88 hrs)

I started scheduling time when I will work on Time Tracker. I plan to do development work three hours each week.

Refactor Document Model (2.67 hrs)

I did a lot of cleanup after the main refactoring to a Document-Based architecture. The main window now loads, displays and closes correctly. The next step is to connect the models to the NSArrayControllers– I still need to learn the appropriate way to do this.

Create user stories / acceptance tests (3 mins)

I started a specifications document that lists all the features that need to be working before a Time Tracker release is made. (specs.txt)
