As we have said many times, we like things simple both for the user as for the rest of developers. To simplify programming and improve the performance of siwapp, we added the use of triggers in the database. What does this mean? It means that when a figure changes, the database automatically updates the total bill [...]

One step at the time, one more version for our joy
We’re releasing today the first release candidate of the 0.2 version of SIWAPP. Lots of bug fixes, some new features, some brand new refactoring and a little bit of pride
We’ve focused mainly on the install process. We are aware the former install-through-wiki-and-you’re-on-you-own-buddy method was not what you would call “simple”.
This time we’ve developed [...]

Did I say that it is an unstable version?
Is not a very interesting story, but you can save some time if you read it: this software is in alpha stage! What does this mean? Take a look at this wikipedia entry for more information.

… and continues here
Well, maybe our first post was so optimistic about time. Developing time is always much more than expected, but we are working hard, and I hope we can show a functional demo soon. Meanwhile, we have published a series of screenshots which will give you an idea of the application, appearance and functionality. I think [...]
