So, my studies are progressing and my confidence WRT application development is climbing. Especially so after I really started to understand PHP.
Powerful stuff.
My mind can’t help recall some of the JavaScript stuff I did in my first year. I have to wonder what wondrous things I could create if I were to combine PHP on the backend with JavaScript on the frontend.
Now I have already started to use some PHP stuff at work. The Python host monitoring script I created before is already outputting data in CSV format, which is then picked up, formatted, and displayed on a web page via PHP. I added some nice icons which turn red when a host goes down. Not much, but I cannot help feeling a little clever J
Next step is to involve some SQL, as well as some end-user eyecandy and features using JavaScript of course. I need to dig out my old JS handbook from wherever I stored it and take a crack at it. Time is my big problem though, since I also need to use this stuff to pass an exam or two, and revision-time is around the corner. Not to mention three assignments I still need to hand in.
No wonder I’m feeling a bit tired lately.
