Captain Danko’s JavaScript Lab — Code Smarter with Tutorials, Frameworks & Dev Insights

One of the things I aim to highlight in this post is how to carefully examine and understand a  problem before applying cutting edge technology to solve it. In this post, we will first look at a problem from the end-user’s perspective, establish and understand the user story, then propose the technology to solve it. User  Story As a busy consultant who visits lots of clients, there’s a lot information that I come across which I want to note. However, I don’t have the time to write (or type) them all down, typically I would make paper notes, which I end up misplacing from time to time.

Story Interpretation Reading the consultant’s story, it’s clear that typing on the keyboard is just not preferred. That’s a fair requirement and we have a problem that we need to solve. One of the first technologies that comes to mind is natural language processing, where the consultant...

Each user story corresponds to some of her ‘wants ‘(‘expectations or user stories) from the to-do list app. In this post I aim to look at all the user stories and try to understand them from a technical and implementation perspective. Let’s have a look at all her user stories, starting with User story 1: C ategorize  “ I want to be able to categorize gifts for the person I am buying it for “ The first thing that comes to mind is, grouping i.e. a parent child relationship. So my understanding of her expectations from a to-do list app is that she wants to create individual lists for people. e.g. Her son Paul for whom she needs to buy a new cologne, a  gym bag, and a Flash drive The next would be her daughter Betty for whom she needs to buy a new bicycle , a pair of shoes and renew her gym membership How can we deliver this via a to-do list a...
