#Sighs

Started this project back in June (I guess, or late April), came up with the Version 1.0 around June 15th or so, purely PHP.

You know the funny thing about my coding, I’m not a fan of creating too many pages, all in a bid to add more functionality.  This made me to embrace AJAX, and trust me, it was fun.  Apart from that, I learnt a new thing from PHP: using buttons instead of pages. If you know this trick, I bet you your whole website can be just one page (or max. of 2, depends).  It was amazing writing a single function for so many buttons and they end up firing events for you.

Using AJAX + the jQuery library enabled me to bypass a lot of redirects I used to do when I wanted to catch exceptions.  Now, my exceptions are caught right when the user is typing (or when the cursor is on the next field).

I released the Version 2.0 on the 21st of July, 2013, and it was sweet… The look, the feel,… I was proud of it. User-friendly, and a lot.

Talking about the SQL, it was a different matter altogether. Tables performing different functions to complement each other, and writing to external text-files to keep track of record and changes.  The whole project was a bomb!

You know the fulfillment after writing over a thousand lines of codes (PHP, JavaScript, AJAX: my favourites), sleepless nights, mental stress, “coding dehydration” (bet you haven’t heard that before), what about 10 different SQL tables all performing different functions, yet keeping connected data?

A quick one: Learn how to use cool music to accompany you in the unending journey of programming, my secret.

Version 3.0 is on the way, and I’m pretty sure you can’t wait to see “advancement in technology”, I can’t wait also!
