I have decided in order to complete the coding part of my project was to take a week away from work to concentrate on it full time. This month has been difficult due to family, work and the current university module commitments. All this in combination has pushed the need for a strategy to reduce the pressure. The plan is this week to complete a task that has been filling me with dread all year!
If I complete the coding section of my project there will be less pressure and more time available to complete the Data warehousing and mining module. I feel if I do not do this there is a strong chance my grade average could slip, reducing the possibility of achieving a 1st, which I am currently aiming for.
In this section I will record each days activities, and what has been achieved. This is akin to SCRUM stand-ups during development sprints which is the development framework for this project.
Monday 25th - Day One
Setup software, describe what I searched for and got working
Microsoft Expressions
WinSCP to connect to the webserver
Tuesday 26th - Day Two
Started on CCS layouts using examples from the internet (references to sires)
Wednesday 27th - Day Three
More CCS Site navigation completed.
Thursday 28th - Day Four
Started on PHP coding using examples for the Internet and PHP book.
Friday 29th - Day Five
More PHP, Trying to complete the simplest page in the system to prove the concept
Saturday 30th - Day Six
Created two versions of the page, one that works without any CSS formatting and will do edits. A Second version that I can only get an HTML table output to display but struggling to get the edits alongside the output values.
Sunday 1st Day - Seven
Clean up of site, still struggling to make the formatted form work correctly. Have decided to use the form that works with edits and attempt to insert the CCS around it.
