Week 10, Day 19(Home Stretch)

It's that time again, last couple weeks of classes. Web development has been a very challenging and enjoyable class and I'm excited to take the second class int he series next quarter. Meanwhile I've had a little trouble with assignment A12:Pager, hopefully I can get caught up on that today so that I don't need to worry about it all week. Next week is the last normal week of classes.... counting down.

Week 9, Day 17(New Web Host)

After a little bit of modification and confusion I managed to get my site on another free web host (000webhost). It was actually a lot easier than I expected. Not the friendliest user experience but considering I paid no money for it, it's hard to complain. We are moving onto working on our final project which is making me a bit nervous...

Week 8, Day 15(Combining PHP and SQL)

We've started combining sql with our php to create databases and use them with my php sites. Originally I liked the php syntax but now it seems to have gotten a bit complicated, although more useful. I am keeping up but not sure how much I'm retaining along the way. I guess only the future will tell. Shining moment was getting adminer up and running because it's way more convenient than using the command prompt in my opinion.

Week 7, Day 13(Frustrated)

Well this week and weekend I had a little trouble cleaning up my personal php site and I think their is some confusion on my grades and submissions. I feel like all this different due dates and submission types for everything is really confusing me, and the stress of having missed so much stuff while I was dropped has become very frustrating. I don't really have much else to say....

Week 6, Day 10(Mostly Caught Up!)

I managed to catch up on most of my assignments but assignment 5 was giving me some trouble. Adding a config.php with dynamic links seems to have thrown everything out of wack. I'm going to take another look at it tonight since my issue may have been that I tried to catch up on everything I missed over the last weekend and I think my brain may have gotten a little overworked. I'm going to pick a classmates brain and see if that helps also. Otherwise I'm enjoying all the dynamics of PHP.

Week 5, Day 9(I'm Back!)

I'm back! I managed to get back into all my classes and while I'm a little behind I'm pretty confident I can catch up. Missing any time in ITC 240 means I've missed a whole lot of work so I'll have a busy weekend ahead of myself. I also attended Hacker News (a start-up event) yesterday (2/5/2014) and have been inspired to work on an app for a game (Guild Wars 2) that I enjoy playing as well as to dive into more depth on a project for my brothers lab to create a GUI to interface with the R scripts he has written. being back in classes is kinda feeling like a second chance that I don't want to spoil.

Week 5, Day 8(Catch-up)

For a second there I thought there was no way I was going to get back into classes but my dad offered to pay if my funding doesn't come through so now I am frantically trying to catch up on all my work. I'll likely work late into the night watching class videos and completing assignments. Hopefully Bill(my teacher) will allow me to do some extra credit for the assignments I couldn't turn in while my canvas was suspended. I look forward to being back!

P.S. Splitting up the header/footer/etc into different php files was awesome to learn. Now I can keep my pages way more organized and easily consistent.
