TamWiki Site/Short Recent Changes shows a partial set of changes I’ve made to the wiki today. I spent the day documenting the things I’ve learned about coding PHP recently; some Best Practices, practical considerations, and other trivia.
I finished the web site I have been working on with a little help in figuring out the style sheet and putting some of those fancy-shmancy rounded corners on things. Oh so trendy!! Anyway, I’m glad I got it done, it was touch-and-go for awhile.
(more after the break…)
For the past several days, I have been writing a web app in PHP that will do meeting reservations at a trade show. This has been most inspiring and difficult work. It turned out to be a lot harder than I originally thought. But it is nearly complete in the core functionality.
I used an existing room reservation system that I have modified heavily to meet the functionality requirements of the system. The original system was based on a calendar model, while the new system is based on defining specific days and slots when meetings can be held. The original work had a lot of bells and whistles which I got rid of, and turned the whole thing on it’s head.
It has been good to be working again, even though I’ve put in long, long hours on this project. Now that it is ready for Alpha testing, I can relax a bit.
