Two and a half days
Two and a half days.
that's how long it took me to complete a simple page that's supposed to save time when entering data into our website. Actually, with the way that data is arranged in the database, I think it'll save us a lot of time and headaches in the long run so I think it was well worth it.
Every day I work with PHP, I like it more and more. It really is nice in the ways that I'm not required to declare variable types all over the place like in Java or C#, the two languages I've worked with a lot in the past. I still have to in my Javascript that I'm writing but its never more than typing "var" and variable name instead of having to pick types which although its not a problem knowing which to pick, using them later on can get confusing.
I'm trying to decide what to work on next for the site. There are so many places I could start on I just don't know which would be the best place to start that would launch me through the rest of the project.
