Okay. Finally I’ve gotten the basic MVC set up using AJAX requests. Now it’s about refining the requests so that the page becomes truly segmented, with each segment intelligent enough to update itself. I also want to modify my barebones MVC by trying to break it down even further, make it as “no-framework”y as possible. I’m super minimalist, so I might as well try.

After this, I will move into creating real content.

My vision is that the index page will have several “web parts”—one for news (which is a blog), one with a calendar and class schedule (also containing a blog for schedule notices and special events), and then some other more static links—about, contact, bio, education. I’m not sure how it should all be laid out yet, but that will come later. While I’m adding these web parts, I will also work on user authentication, so that not just anyone can add and update the database.

I may extend the requirements as we go along, adding more web parts as I see fit.

That’s it, basically! Once all the above are accomplished, I will work on minifying scripts and other post-processing for performance optimization.
