Hi Dan, Thank you so much for the information and I should say that I'm really impressed about this project specially the way it works. Up to now here is my progress
1. I managed to download Isis from this link[1] and build it a simple domain model 2. I went through this documentation [2] and had a brief idea about actually what is happening in this project. As well your tutorial [3] was a great help But I'm still having some problems that are need to be clarified 1 What is the domain object container?(I found it in your tutorial) 2 I made my own entity named Student but I couldn't find a way to bring it to the GUI level. Actually I still can't understand the way that is used to map GUI forms with those entity classes 3 I saw some sample entity classes are inherited from several interfaces (Comparable<ToDoItem> ). What is the use of that? Can you please give me some clarifications because I'm little bit stuck at this point.
