Tennis Ladders and Stats

I am nearing completion of the development of Tennis Ladders and Stats - a program designed for maintaining team ladders and player statistics in local tennis competitions. I have been involved in local tennis competitions for several years and have assisted in maintaining such statistics in the past. Previously the process was a manual one and while there have been some programs utilised over the past few years, they are rather rigid in design - having a different program for each association, despite each association having very similar requirements. Tennis Ladders and Stats attempts to overcome the shortcomings of previous programs and provide a single program which can be used to provide the common functionality required, regardless of the result format required.

Since the development of Tennis Ladders and Stats is nearing completion, I plan to blog a run down of the various technical challenges I faced and how I solved them during the development process. All development was performed using haskell and gtk2hs for the user interface, parts of which were developed using glade. Hopefully the notes provided will assist others in one way or another.

My First Blog

I've just finished setting up my blog. The hardest part was finding a name which wasn't already in use. Today marks the end of my graduate year at Unico. It has been a very valuable experience and I feel like I have learned so much in such a short span of time. I'm looking forward to the next challenges as I move into my next role...
