Trial Balance is live!

without comments

I received an email from Paul Stovell overnight that his personal project Trial Balance is now (finally) live. Well done Paul!

Trial Balance is a simple accounting application, designed as a learning tool to teach basic double-entry accounting to high school and university students. It is created in C# on the .NET 2.0 platform. The user interface is built upon Windows Presentation Foundation in XAML.

There is a good description of the project (including some discussion about the importance of having an active personal project) on Paul's blog.

The source code is actually hosted on our SVN repository here at Fuel Advance:

http://anonymous@svn.services.fueladvance.com/hosted/trialbalance (the original codename was "Banana" until Paul actually told me what I was hosting)
