The New TPCF Framework

This is a complete re-write of the TPCF application. The new TPCF application is written using an entirely new framework. The previous framework has been in production at Delta for about 10 years! It's been very reliable, however, it is starting to show it's age. Particularly in the amount of time and effort required to maintain and implement new solutions.

The new framework that TPCF provides for a much faster development cycle because it utilizes a number modern design priciples. The features of the new framework include:

• A more flexible templating language
• Usage of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern
• Better integration with modern popular Javascript libraries
• Database access is now provided through an ORM (Object Relational Mapper). This allows data records to be accessed as objects, reducing the amount of SQL that needs to be written by hand....THIS IS HUGE!! By using the ORM instead of writing all the queries by hand, the amount of time and number of errors are greatly reduced.

To Do List

The following items are still in progress:

• Script to load data from old database
• Create user roles
• Link from T&ER to create TPCF in new System
