This week’s work has kind of taken a back burner which isn’t going to help in the long run. I’ve spent too much time pottering about on an adjacent assignment and I think I may have over stepped the time mark a little.
I haven’t done nearly as much work as I would have like to and following the book I was using concerning MySQL databases has left me even more confused than when I started.
I have leant a few things about PHP though. Mainly using functions and loops to get some really good results such as display the content’s of a directory. These will definitely help in building the site I said I would for my SMLP, which I am regretting committing so many goals to.
I really have to push the boat out this and next week and hope that everything runs smoothly, which do doubt wont.
If I could go back and change one aspect of the SMLP it would be not to show all my workings by maintaining a sister site running parallel to my ongoing projects. I’ve literally nailed my feet to the floor by adding another half of an assignment onto an already busy schedule.
I have had success with the coding side though and I am feeling more confident apply the skills I am learning to new problem that arise throughout this assignment. With better planning on my next module I will be able to work more efficiently and with less stress.
Some goals to set myself this week are:
- Start uploading my site;
- Start validating and debugging;
- Try an get to grips with MySQL;
- Finish off final screen designs.
