Creating a kanban board with javascript

At SyneITY we follow the lean agile development methodology and to aid in our development we needed a kanban board and thought why not develop it using javascript, jquery and knockoutjs.

As usual, we are just starting out with a basic version and here is a mockup of what we were trying to achieve in the first iteration

Technologies we will be using:

• Javascript
• Jquery
• Knockoutjs
• Ajax

PHP Call to undefined function curl_init()

while working on php in windows using VS.PHP i came across this exception:
"Call to undefined function curl_init()"
Earlier when i had come across this exception, we had used this answer on stackoverflow to resolve this issue.
However the next time, on another machine, this method was not solving the issue. On analysis this was found out to be an issue of using VS.php which overwrites the php.ini file everytime it runs. So using the video at this link i just put the ini path in the visual studio debug and viola, the issue was resolved.
