Last semester, we had to make websites for Programming class [don't know why, as web development and programming are two different things.]

Anyway, I made a social networking site specific for my school; it had:

- Login/Register
- Would check registrations against info in the school's database to validate identity
- CSS-customizable profile
- Fully functional UBBC parsing
- Blogging system
- Global announcement feature
- "Find friends"
- Friend system
- Messaging system

All coded in under 2 1/2 hours [not including the time I took afterwards to make it prettier ].



Which brings me to my question; have you ever coded a large-scale project in a short period of time? Details?

DAMN Marc, good job

You aced it didn't you?

Lol, I got a 95 because I didn't have a back button on every page. o.O [which would've been useless any because there were both top and left navigation. ]

But ahh well, I did a good job.

Are you kidding me?

no 100% just because of no back button on some pages?

Thats stupid, should'v been 110%

(extra ten for quickness in getting all of it)

Once I had to code a bloggin system completly form scratch in a communications class they just wanted to test me, and I got it done within a half hour. (with adding extras)

I give you props man because I can't even make a stupid registration system...

Don't blame yourself, it is hard, just practice, use tutorials, they will help.

Well thank you for the tip but I'm so bad at it... that's why I need a tutor via msn lol makes it a lot easier.. Even though nobody will help.

Well, as soon as I started learning how to code PHP within two weeks I created TWIU which had the following:

- Login/registry
- Profiles
- Profile Comments
- News
- News Comments
- Personal Blogs
- Groups
- Private Messaging
- Friend System
- UBBC Parsing

It took around 2 weeks as I pointed out, and I was pretty satisfied considering I just began learning the language. I even had Peter try try to crack it, and could only find a few little bugs.

Well I'm thinking mainly about my randomizer service, which I coded from scratch to basic working order in about 4 days (as in ready for the public to use. A few minor bugs, but nothing big like security issues or stuff like that). By that time (as I recall), it had:

-login/register system
-modify personal page
-basic member list
-modify profile (with delete account feature)
-add/remove/modify randomizers
-showing of the # of hits per randomizer

I think that was about it for that time. Wow, we've gone a long way

Please leave this to a seperate topic next time.

However, I doubt anyone has the time to sit down and teach you PHP. It's not like it takes place overnight; it takes months.

Your best bet would be a free tutorial site, like www.w3schools.com.

Obviously I don't expect anyone to 1 on 1 teach me everything about php, just let me ask questions, and i'll make sure not to go off topic again, by the way did you have this running on a server or website? If it's online can I have a link?

I had it online, but had to take it down after to make room for another site I was working on. I have a backup of it on my computer, so I'll see about getting that uploaded again sometime soon.

Ok if you get to it let me know. I'd love to see it.
