pmwww | | Big, Quick Project? (6th Mar 08 at 4:11am UTC) | | 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? | |

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. | |

pmmsn | | Re: Big, Quick Project? (6th Mar 08 at 5:29am UTC) | | 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) | |

pm | | Re: Big, Quick Project? (7th Mar 08 at 2:41pm UTC) | | 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.  | |

pmwww | | Re: Big, Quick Project? (7th Mar 08 at 3:00pm UTC) | | 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. | |

pmwwwmsn | | Re: Big, Quick Project? (7th Mar 08 at 5:02pm UTC) | | | 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. | |
