My Web Project Ver. 1
Well, I finally managed to take some time and do some extra programming on my own time. The fruits of my labor can be found here. I wanted to put the Google app engine through its paces and so I played around with creating a form similar to the one that Ben Franklin used to keep track of his indiscretions. The idea was that every time he made an infraction against one of the virtues in the list, he put a dot. His goal was to keep his little sheet free of dots. Well, in the days of the internet, I think it’s probably a little easier to just enter the values. (Maybe, maybe not, but it’s sure easier to code at first!)
I’m not done with this little program; it’s way too slow at the moment. (Each field is individually got and put from the database regardless of whether or not it was updated…I’m actually trapping a DB timeout at the moment but it’s late and I don’t feel like dealing with it.) I also want to add reports, like the average number of infractions year-to-date, how you’re doing compared to others, etc. This type of stuff will come in due time, but I wanted to get something out there. Feel free to play around with it, if you want. I will notify you all of updates as they come along.
Have a good evening!
