RE: Ofbiz Cookbook

I took the time to scan your link, but did not get into an in-depth perusal
of it.  At first glance, it is a fine overview, but in my opinion, not
nearly complete enough for a new user.  For this, I think Ruth's book is
much more useful.

I do like your decision to replace all the minilang services.  I too have
slowly been replacing them for my installations.  On the other hand, I
really like minilang screens for simple backend stuff.  You can write them
much more quickly than ftl so long as they are simple.

I also really like your new ftl macros.  I have been using the opentaps
macros for a long time and I think yours are significantly better especially
in their granularity and ability to support more display device types.  I
think Obbiz would greatly benefit if you considered contributing them back
to the Obbiz project.

Having said that, I am not sure there would be a consensus on the shift back
to ftl.  So many of the active contributors seem to like minilang.  I think
that is one of the reasons Si Chen started opentaps.

I completely missed seeing that Ruth had moved on.  That is sad.  But
hopefully, she is still getting royalities for her work.

Hi Skip,

thanks for sharing. I completely agree with you on your opinion about the
books. We did a project together with Ruth before she left the community and
I said before that I think it is a shame that the community wasn't able to
value her contribution for what it is. Just like Rupert Howell's book, which
i can also highly recommend, the book is the standard textbook for all new
ofbiz developers and we recommend it to all customers we train.

Perhaps you would also be interested in checking out the Scipio
documentation: http://www.scipioerp.com/community/developer/architecture/

We try to maintain an easy to understand guideline that should be suitable
for beginners. I would love to hear your feedback on it.

Regards,
Paul

Theory of Composite keys with From date vs Thru date?

[Brian Ghidinelli]

I'm a big fan of Silverston and his UDM books and have been studying OfBiz 
extensively. I was wondering if anyone can explain why his entities with 
from/thru date use the from date instead of the thru date in the composite 
keys? It seems like you would want to enforce only one version is ever active 
at a time by uniquely indexing the thru date as null (or a magic end date, or 
infinity in Postgres). 

I'd be very appreciative of any theory explanations on the use of from date 
instead of thru date?

The most popular option was option 3.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/61317052/Power-OFBiz.png?api=v2

There were a couple of comments regarding the colour (see results page) but the 
majority of people were OK with it. So based on this feedback, I'd like to move 
ahead with this selection as our new logo.

If you have any comments or think that the new logo needs to be further refined 
then please respond to this thread otherwise I'll wait a few days and take it 
as lazy consensus to continue.

Thanks
Sharan
