Okay, here we go.
To make my work life easier, I need to keep track of who is working on a certain project across Sun - by name and responsibilities. This data should of course be easily updated without any 'code' changes and should be graphically viewable. Basically, what I have in mind is a graph with - let's call them project - logos divided into three groups. When a logo is clicked, the information appears on the screen with an option to close the window.
Pretty basic right?
Of course, the first thing that came to my mind was javascript and ajax.
Now, I could read javascript and ajax reference books to figure out how to do this, but let's be real. I don't want to especially for such a simple script. So, time to search for example codes and then modify and update for my needs.
My toolbox consists of:
- NetBeans 6.5 RC which supports javascript amongst many technologies
- my mac book running Mac OS X
- my sunray

Time to go off and see what I can. And see how long it takes to do this..
