<br /><br /><br /><br />

== Introduction ==
This is the first in a series of articles, designed to build an application from the ground up - that is to say, the planning, construction, and utilization of the application are all documented.

== Requirements ==
* Python 2.6 (untested on Python 3.+)
* PyCEGUI
* PyOpenGL (GLU and GLUT, as well)

== What is the application? ==
I gave this a good amount of thought, then I realized that I am sitting here, thinking, while drinking beer. Thus, the wonderful idea of writing an application to track the amount of beer I drank, as well as my thoughts on each individual beer, formed; not only will it do these wonderful things, it will be persistent - the application will remember whatever it is told. Finally, it will have a history feature: which is to say, a user can go back to a specific date and read about how they felt about the beer they drank that day - you know, in case they don't remember.

== Why this application? ==
I'm pretty sure this is self-explanatory.

== Series ==
* n
* n+1
* ...

== TODO ==
* Create initial application; then post it.
* Create category for series '''only after''' the initial application is done.
* ETA of initial application: 6/24+

-== Why this application? ==
+== Overview ==
-I'm pretty sure this is self-explanatory.
+BeerTracker is an application which allows the user to record their beer drinking habits; details such as the size and brand of beer drunk, when it was drunk, the cost of it, and the users feelings on the beer, among other things, are recorded in a persistent manner.
-== Series ==
+== Startup ==
-* n
+On startup, the application will first read any preferences located in a configuration file in the users home directory. Afterwards, it will load any data that is located in the persistent storage (previous beers drank, etc). At this point, the application will become interactive, and accept user input.
