Time Extend

Yesterday, bizarrely, I set myself the challenge of developing a fully functional, usable web application in one day.

Context

This time last year I had very little web development experience. I could use Dreamweaver to hack together table based websites from an “Export to HTML” PSD Image. I could create a database and download/install phpBB / wordpress etc. Since then I’ve started working at an established web development agency, and it became apparant that I’d need to catch up a little on my web skills.

The Objective :

• To learn PHP as a scripting language.
• To learn CSS layout and design.
• To learn SQL queries and database structure.
• To learn how to query a REST API.

I wanted to see how easy these languages were to someone with a very basic understanding of their foundations.

Hello,

Thanks for stopping by! (Although I have no idea how you’ve found this blog already!)

This is going to be my personal blog. I already have several blogs across t’interweb, but all are for various projects I’m involved with. I wanted somewhere to dump out ideas, thoughts and comments on things which aren’t involved directly with a particular project or initiative I’m involved with. Why “Time Extend”? I’m skint and it’s an unused domain I own (^_^).

I’ve a few ideas for content, but for now I’m going to focus on getting the site up and running, linked with various online services etc.
