Chapter 2. Creating a To-do List Application

In the previous chapter, we built a simple address book application and introduced the skeleton we will be using in this book to develop more complex applications. This chapter will walk you through building a more complex application, a to-do list. This application will build and enhance the concepts learned in the previous chapter.

In this chapter, you will learn how to:

The to-do list application allows the user to create and manage tasks. The application has the following features:

As mentioned in the previous chapter, we will be taking an iterative approach to building the applications in this book. We will iteratively develop each feature listed earlier until the application evolves into a fully featured one. Each feature will have a corresponding checkpoint folder in the accompanying code. The folders are named as chapter2\checkpoint1, chapter2\checkpoint2, and so on.
