Tuesday 25th March

Today was the start of my week to develop. After looking forward to a relaxing weekend and expecting to not get much sleep this week, i spent my weekend doing my business assignment and writing about stuff that i didnt understand. so starting the longest week of my year with 3 hours the night before was never a good idea.

We started with a meeting to see if anyone had bothered to come to uni and waste their Easter Monday developing their feature , of which i did but didnt get to far as i was trying to see what i could get done of my business whilst also working out how i was going about my feature and the actual design of it which had changed since i had finished my documentation.

After editing the temp database that i had made for my feature on Monday to meet the one's that where being used in the website i was stuck on getting the information that i had added manually to my database to the table that i created. after help from steve as he had done something similar with his feature i had it working to an extent but the tables where duplicating so the timetable was looking abit of a mess. after sorting out the way that the loops worked and the layout of the tables it was time for the demo's but just before we demo'd myself and paul managed to link our features together and i was able to output the information that paul added to his database.

After the demo i went back to the lab and finished working on the functionality so that the tables had all of the days displaying as in the demo i had only managed to get one day working.
After this it was time to go for some food which was nice as 1. i got a lift to my mates and 2. i got dominos. Then it was back to uni and going back into uni at 8pm is never something i want to do. the night ahead was set aside to integrate to the website and have my feature implemented into the CSS. thankfully as everyone was still working on their features there was no new versions of the site coming out so i could work away without having to copy my code into new folders every 15mins like others have previously had to do.

By the time it hit midnight and i was still trying to implment the CSS into my code whist also helping out other people with problems as there was only a handful of people left. After asking people for help with this i was told that i needed to have the correct div tags within my code which lead to me learning what div tags where as i hadnt previously been told about this although appearntly there was emails about it which probably should have been made abit more important.

Then after i actually managed to get the timetable on to the site it was quite late in the night/early in the morning when i started to look at the sessions that i needed to implement in to the feature but from the tutorial that was sent out by sam i wasnt able to work out what was to be done to only show the timetable according the correct user in relation to year and course they are on. with not being able to work it out with the tutorial and the notes that where available from the php book that we where given, i felt that it would be best to leave it until the rest of the cohort was in and would be able to provide help.

With making this decision made i felt it would be best to go home and shower to feel refreshed for the next day, so i began my hour long walk home at 5.45am!
