So today I got around to writing up the accompanying ‘article’ for my small wishlist application. The app was written in conjunction with the miniseries I wrote on ‘Modern Project Management’ (of which I’m still formatting the last article).

The app was used over christmas by me and a few friends and seemed to serve its purpose! (I did quite well off of my list :P).

Written in CodeIgniter with a generous splash of Mootools thrown in for some AJAX’y goodness the app is quick and liteweight and allows users to create a list, add and delete items (asynchronously) and mark other users items as bought. The app also has a built in help system. (more…)
