Introduction

Wealthy Laughing Duck is a simple logic model that can be adapted by various applications and platforms. It's supposed to be a personal finance managing system. All duck components are just implementations of this model, e.g. web interface implemented with JavaScript, Java Thrift server / PHP Thrift client, python RESTful API (consumed by JavaScript interface) and so on.

Most of duck components are in early development phase so far, but the aim is to make them mature, stable systems that would rely on different technologies used. Developers would clone and easily deploy github repositories and examine the implementation to learn the technologies.

Contribution

This is more than welcome :) The more contributions and group members there are, the more the duck project will improve. If you wish to make some commits to existing repositories - or even create your own repository that illustrates a technology that's not present in the duck project yet - just contact the @wealthy-laughing-duck.

List of duck components

• wealthy laughing duck (original project):

  • Java Thrift server
  • PHP Thrift client
  • JavaScript interface

• Backbone/Marionette interface

• Python/Django API

Standards

As each duck component relies on the same logic model, different systems should be able to access the same resources, such as: databases, files, file formats, api designs, etc. To ease components communication with each other, some standards were introduced:

Database

• type: mysql
• host: localhost
• port: 3306
• database user: duck_user
• database name: duck_database
• password: wXyqhWzlF0uO20j8

Duck components will connect the database according to above parameters by default.

Other standards (to be added)

Those will include: database schema, thrift definitions, JSON api design, file formats.
