The Run Smart With Me (RSWM) application is my Windows Mobile pet project and I have now decided on and designed the system architecture for this project.

The application will be built for the Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK with the .Net Compact Framework 3.5 version.

This project will be based on the Model View Presenter pattern (previous post about MVP). I have created a solution in Visual Studio 2008 called RunSmartWithMe, to this solution I have added 6 projects:

• RunSmartWithMe: This is the startup project where I will have the main class and all my screens
• RunSmartWithMe.Mvp: In this project I have created a namespace for Model, View and Presenter. In Model I will place business objects that I use in my application. In View I will keep the interfaces describing the views. In Presenter I will keep the interfaces describing the presenters and also the class implementation of the presenters.
• RunSmartWithMe.Util: In this project I will place all my utility classes used through the application.
• RunSmartWithMe.Dal: This is my Data Access Layer responsible for retrieving and storing data.
• TechCon.Ui: In this project I will place all my custom controls and user controls.
• TechCon.HardWare: In this project I will place all classes concerning hardware integration, in this specific project it will be the GPS unit on the device.

I will kick off the Run Smart With Me (RSWM) project by writing user stories. By doing so I will have a good idea on what functionality I need to implement in this Windows Mobile application. When writing these user stories I will use the template from my earlier post: Writing user stories for agile (Scrum) projects.

This post will show all user stories I have written for the RSWM application.

For a while ago I asked on twitter and on my blog what the Windows Mobile application of your dreams are (earlier post asking about what kind of application I should develop). I did this to find inspiration on what kind of application I should develop when I’m now starting a new pet project. It’s always interesting listening to what kind of applications other people would like to have on their mobile devices.

I got several good suggestions but in the end I decided to take the first Windows Mobile application I made and develop it from scratch again. This was an application using the GPS on your device to track your movement and calculate current speed, average speed, distance covered, timer +++ The application were meant to be used when running to help you track progress and see all detailed information you often wonder about when you are done exercising.

I want to share my work with you on this project so as I start working on it I will write posts with code examples on how I do it. When this project is done, I will distribute it for free to you to enjoy:)

Why have a pet project?
