Phase 1 - Business Story

1. Create you business story.

Wireframe

In the world of design, particularly in web and app development, a wireframe is essentially a blueprint. Here's a breakdown:  

In essence, a wireframe is a foundational tool that helps ensure a product is user-friendly and meets its intended goals.   

Phase 2. Feasibility Study

2, Ask Gemini :

Using 1, Business Story create me a Feasibility Study

The BramIT Method

The BramIT method is to be used by the Business Analyst a/ Technical Consultant / Designer as part of the Design House process for Red Octopus Business Services Limited where you will be employed as an Associate Consultant / Designer / Agile Product Owner.

You will then Outsource development to Red Camel Systems - Richard J Gilbert who will decide if it is ro be done in house or to be Outsourced by Reg Octopus..

Phase 3. Functional Specification

3. Using 2. Feasibility Study as Gemini to create a Functional Specification 

Phase 4 - Return on investment

4. Ask Gemini  to create a Cost Benefit Analysis with a Return Of Inbestment.

Phase 5 - Design Specification

5. Using 3, Functional Specification as Gemini to create a Design Specification.

Phase 6 - Pseudo Code

6. Using 5. Design Specification ask Gemini to create Pseudo Code

Phase 7 - Inspection

7. Flowchart and Structured Walkthrough - Inspect your design see that it does what you want - if not refine your request to gemini asking to repeat the design specification - cycle round till you have a solution - you may have to prompt Gemini with code.

Phase 8 - Code Creation

8. Finally ask Gemini to create code - Hand to a programmer to inspect code and refine where needed having produced a wireframe. Compile and test.

Key Improvements and Explanations:

To run this:

  1. Create an ASP.NET Core Web API project.
  2. Create a Blazor WebAssembly or Blazor Server project.
  3. Add the shared models.
  4. Copy the code into the appropriate files.
  5. Run the API project, then run the Blazor project.

Remember to replace the placeholder in-memory data and search logic with your actual database access and Azure Search/Elasticsearch integration.

Protosearch

I have a Nimrod Database that stores Business Id / Genre / Metadata / description / SEO and County i want a search engine that will access this information and displays content depending on the request parameter. Taking into account that thousands of people will want to Protosearch at the same time please describe the business processes (classes) that will be needed and the business objects that will be needed display the search content.

Protosearch

Okay, let's break down the design of a robust, scalable search engine for your Nimrod Database, focusing on handling thousands of concurrent users.

1. Business Objects (Data Structures)

2. Business Processes (Classes)

3. Search Flow

  1. User Input: The user enters a search query and optional filters.
  2. SearchRequestHandler:
    • Receives the request.
    • Validates the input.
    • Creates a SearchRequest object.
  3. CacheManager:
    • Checks if the search results are in the cache.
    • If found, returns the cached results.
  4. SearchEngine:
    • If not cached, the SearchEngine executes the search:
      • Parses the searchTerm and filters.
      • Uses an inverted index (created by indexData) to find matching NimrodRecords.
      • Calculates a relevanceScore for each result.
      • Sorts the results by relevanceScore.
      • Creates a list of SearchResult objects.
  5. CacheManager:
    • The search results are stored in the cache.
  6. SearchResultFormatter:
    • Formats the SearchResult objects for display.
  7. Response: The formatted results are sent back to the user.
  8. LoadBalancer:
    • The load balancer distributes the traffic across multiple server instances, to provide scalability.

4. Scalability Considerations

5. Technology Choices

By following these guidelines, you can build a robust and scalable search engine for your Nimrod Database.

Protosearch II

Alright, let's adapt the Nimrod Database search engine specification to utilize Blazor, Azure, C#, and MVC principles.

1. Architecture Overview

We'll employ a hybrid architecture, combining Blazor for the front-end, a C# Web API (MVC) for the backend, and Azure services for scalability and persistence.

2. Business Objects (C# Classes)

C#
public class NimrodRecord{    public string BusinessId { get; set; }    public string Genre { get; set; }    public Dictionary<string, string> Metadata { get; set; }    public string Description { get; set; }    public string Seo { get; set; }    public string County { get; set; }}public class SearchResult{    public string BusinessId { get; set; }    public string Genre { get; set; }    public string DescriptionSnippet { get; set; }    public string County { get; set; }    public Dictionary<string, string> Metadata {get; set;}    public double RelevanceScore { get; set; }}public class SearchRequest{    public string SearchTerm { get; set; }    public Dictionary<string, string> Filters { get; set; }    public int PageNumber { get; set; }    public int PageSize { get; set; }}

3. Business Processes (C# Classes and Services)

4. Blazor Front-End

5. Azure Implementation

6. Scalability and Performance

7. MVC Principles

This approach leverages the strengths of Blazor, ASP.NET Core Web API, and Azure to create a scalable, performant, and maintainable search engine for your Nimrod Database.

Action Plan

Richard will program the actual application for Forest404.com and will release his open source using Git Hub for you to clone.

Application Hosting

Rich sticky notes

Application Hosting

Not having Visual Studio poses a problem to me - I am not capable of modelling application and do the hosting. I have Apple Mac where I manage Plesk accounts.
Please document how Blazor Azure / C Sharp / MVC / SQL Server are developed and hosted.

Application Development

Alright, let's break down how to develop and host a Blazor Azure/C#/MVC/SQL Server application on your Apple Mac using Plesk, without relying on Visual Studio. We'll focus on command-line tools and manual deployments.

Development Environment Setup (macOS)

  1. .NET SDK:
    • Download and install the latest .NET SDK from the official Microsoft website.
    • Verify the installation by running dotnet --version in your terminal.
  2. Text Editor/IDE:
    • Use a code editor like Visual Studio Code (free and cross-platform) or JetBrains Rider (paid, but powerful). VS Code with the C# extension is a good choice.
  3. SQL Server (Optional, for local development):
    • If you need a local SQL Server instance for development, consider using Docker:
      • Install Docker Desktop for Mac.
      • Run a SQL Server Docker container: docker run -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" -e "SA_PASSWORD=YourStrongPassword!" -p 1433:1433 -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2019-latest
  4. Azure CLI (Optional, for Azure interactions):
    • Install the Azure CLI: brew update && brew install azure-cli
    • Log in to your Azure account: az login

Development Steps (Command-Line)

  1. Create the Web API Project (MVC):
    • Open your terminal and navigate to your desired project directory.
    • Create a new Web API project: dotnet new webapi -o NimrodApi
    • Navigate to the project directory: cd NimrodApi
    • Add Entity Framework Core (if using SQL Server):
      • dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
      • dotnet add package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
    • Create your models, controllers, and data access logic using your chosen code editor.
  2. Create the Blazor Project:
    • Navigate back to your project directory.
    • Create a new Blazor WebAssembly or Blazor Server project:
      • WebAssembly: dotnet new blazorwasm -o NimrodBlazor
      • Server: dotnet new blazorserver -o NimrodBlazor
    • Navigate to the Blazor project directory: cd NimrodBlazor
    • Add the HTTP client: dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Http (WebAssembly)
    • Create your Blazor components and pages, and write the code to interact with the Web API.
  3. Build and Run Locally:
    • Build the Web API project: dotnet build NimrodApi/NimrodApi.csproj
    • Run the Web API project: dotnet run --project NimrodApi/NimrodApi.csproj
    • Build the Blazor project: dotnet build NimrodBlazor/NimrodBlazor.csproj
    • Run the Blazor project: dotnet run --project NimrodBlazor/NimrodBlazor.csproj (WebAssembly will usually open in the browser automatically).

Deployment (Plesk and Azure)

  1. Web API Deployment (Plesk or Azure App Service):
    • Plesk (Manual):
      • Publish the Web API project: dotnet publish NimrodApi/NimrodApi.csproj -c Release -o publish
      • Create a new website in Plesk.
      • Use the Plesk File Manager or FTP to upload the contents of the publish folder to the website's root directory.
      • In Plesk, configure the website to use ASP.NET Core hosting.
      • Configure the application pool.
    • Azure App Service:
      • Create an Azure App Service instance.
      • Publish the Web API project: dotnet publish NimrodApi/NimrodApi.csproj -c Release -o publish
      • Use the Azure CLI or Azure portal to deploy the publish folder to the App Service.
  2. Blazor Deployment (Plesk or Azure Static Web Apps/Storage):
    • Plesk (Manual):
      • Publish the Blazor project: dotnet publish NimrodBlazor/NimrodBlazor.csproj -c Release -o publish
      • Create a new website in Plesk (or use a subdomain).
      • Upload the contents of the publish/wwwroot folder to the website's root directory.
      • Configure the website to serve static files.
      • If it is Blazor server, you would host it like the API.
    • Azure Static Web Apps/Storage:
      • Create an Azure Static Web Apps or Azure Storage account.
      • Deploy the publish/wwwroot folder to the Static Web Apps or Storage account.
      • Configure the Static Web Apps or Storage account for static website hosting.
  3. SQL Server Deployment (Azure SQL Database or Plesk SQL Server):
    • Azure SQL Database:
      • Create an Azure SQL Database instance.
      • Use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) on a Windows machine or Azure Data Studio to create your database and tables.
      • Update the Web API's connection string to point to the Azure SQL Database.
    • Plesk SQL Server:
      • Create a SQL Server database in Plesk.
      • Use SSMS or a SQL Server client to create your tables.
      • Update the Web API's connection string to point to the Plesk SQL Server.
  4. Azure Search/Elasticsearch (Azure Services):
    • Create an Azure Search or Elasticsearch on Azure service.
    • Configure your Web API to use the search service.
    • Create an indexing Azure Function that populates the search index.
  5. Azure Cache for Redis (Azure Service):
    • Create an Azure Cache for Redis instance.
    • Configure your Web API to use the Redis cache.

Important Notes:

This detailed breakdown should help you develop and deploy your Blazor Azure/C#/MVC/SQL Server application on your macOS system using Plesk and AzureA

4. Blazor Azure/C#/MVC/SQL Server Code

  1. Create ASP.NET Core Web API Project:
    • In Visual Studio, create a new ASP.NET Core Web API project.
  2. Install Necessary Packages:
    • Use NuGet Package Manager to install:
      • Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer
      • Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools
  3. Create NimrodRecord Model:
    • Create a folder called Models, and then create a NimrodRecord.cs file.
C#
        public class NimrodRecord        {            public string BusinessId { get; set; }            public string Genre { get; set; }            public string Metadata { get; set; }            public string Description { get; set; }            public string SEO { get; set; }            public string County { get; set; }        }
  1. Create DbContext:
    • Create a folder called Data, and then create a NimrodDbContext.cs file.
C#
        using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;        public class NimrodDbContext : DbContext        {            public NimrodDbContext(DbContextOptions<NimrodDbContext> options) : base(options) { }            public DbSet<NimrodRecord> NimrodRecords { get; set; }        }
  1. Configure DbContext in Startup.cs/Program.cs:
    • Add the DbContext to your services.
C#
        //In Program.cs        builder.Services.AddDbContext<NimrodDbContext>(options =>            options.UseSqlServer(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
  1. Create Controller:
    • Create a NimrodController.cs file.
C#
        using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;        using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;        using System.Collections.Generic;        using System.Threading.Tasks;        [ApiController]        [Route("api/[controller]")]        public class NimrodController : ControllerBase        {            private readonly NimrodDbContext _context;            public NimrodController(NimrodDbContext context)            {                _context = context;            }            [HttpGet]            public async Task<ActionResult<IEnumerable<NimrodRecord>>> GetNimrodRecords()            {                return await _context.NimrodRecords.ToListAsync();            }            [HttpPost]            public async Task<ActionResult<NimrodRecord>> CreateNimrodRecord(NimrodRecord record)            {                _context.NimrodRecords.Add(record);                await _context.SaveChangesAsync();                return CreatedAtAction(nameof(GetNimrodRecords), new { id = record.BusinessId }, record);            }            [HttpPut("{id}")]            public async Task<IActionResult> UpdateNimrodRecord(string id, NimrodRecord record)            {                if (id != record.BusinessId)                {                    return BadRequest();                }                _context.Entry(record).State = EntityState.Modified;                try                {                    await _context.SaveChangesAsync();                }                catch (DbUpdateConcurrencyException)                {                    if (!_context.NimrodRecords.Any(e => e.BusinessId == id))                    {                        return NotFound();                    }                    else                    {                        throw;                    }                }                return NoContent();            }            [HttpDelete("{id}")]            public async Task<IActionResult> DeleteNimrodRecord(string id)            {                var record = await _context.NimrodRecords.FindAsync(id);                if (record == null)                {                    return NotFound();                }                _context.NimrodRecords.Remove(record);                await _context.SaveChangesAsync();                return NoContent();            }        }
  1. Create Blazor Project:
    • Create a new Blazor WebAssembly or Server project.
    • Add code to the Blazor components to call the API endpoints.

This gives you a solid foundation for your Nimrod database and web application. Remember to adjust connection strings, add error handling, and implement security measures as needed.
