In terms of progress and task done, wasn’t very well. Only achieve two of the goals.
Problems:
- Retake a 2 years old project was not as good idea as I thought.
- Upgrade to grails 2.4.4 was easy
- Upgrade facebook login plugin was a little bit hard to integrate with the actual project.
- Review all facebook permissions, accounts and api calls. Most of them deprecated.
- Review all amazon credentials and api calls. Hard problems with the API keys valid to connect with Amazon Affiliates.
