Developing the Software Industry....

I am starting a New MS Technology based project.

Well I have been working a a few book proposals once more, and noticed that I needed a really good sample application to demonstrate most of the the areas covered in most of the books I am planning <publisher permitting :) of course>.

So at the moment I actually have 2 main application types to create (I Will be doing both parts of the app, just need a little push on which one to do first.)

The objective of the app, thats simple I am building what I tend to refer to as a distributed Smart Client and Web Connected application.

The two application Types I have are:

  • Project management and Issue Tracking Solution <probably based on Scrum techniques, maybe also Agile MSF and XP Practices as well>
  • Simple CRM system - initially focused on the SFA aspect of CRM

The UI Clients that I will be designing, will be

  • Winform Smart Client
  • PocketPC Smart Client
  • SmartPhone Smart Client
  • MS Office based Smart Clients/<tags>
  • Web based connected Client
  • <maybe VS 2005 addon/smart client - still looking into this>

Smart Client Connectivity options: <WS and/or remoting>

  • Full Sync on connect and request
  • P2P Sync
  • Messaging Based Sync and Wait

SO THE QUESTION IS, what would people like to see first CRM application or Project Tracking Application.

I will be posting design notes, sample screens etc... as time goes on,  but prefer to create something the community would like to see. And of course my website will be back up soon to help track and update the status of this slightly ambitious project.

Sounds good! Why focus on SFA aspect of CRM? There are already many samples about SFA. Maybe focus more on the List/Event management (mass emailing/mailmerge aspects).

When can we expect the book? ;-)

Thanks

yeah, I agree SFA has been over done, but it offers the most opportunity for demonstrating various Smartclients, on the mass mailing type of system, pretty simplistic to setup and do, but not sure how I would utilize the various smart clients?
