WEEKLY GOALS

Here's where I sketch out a goal for each week. The beginning is a compilation of first-quarter goals.

I began by working on my MAKING A MOO project, where goals included researching and becoming familiar with MOOCode, researching and downloading a MOO server, writing code to allow users to log on with a password, and writing code for building new areas of the MOO. Once I switched to the DATAKEEPER project, goals included learning MySQL and PHP, creating a simple PHP form page, creating and changing a table in MySQL, learning to interface the two languages, collecting copies of different common forms, and learning about password-protected websites and online security.
Goal: Get my PHP form to read data from the MySQL database
Goal: Get my PHP form to submit data to the MySQL database
Goal: Enable account creation for Datakeeper v. 1.0
Goal: Get passwords to show up in stars rather than appearing as they're typed
Goal: Check password and username and log in if they're both correct
Goal: Generate an email using user's information and send it to teacher
Goal: Get the subject line of the email working correctly
Goal: Find a good graphics set for DKv2.0
Goal: Write up a test page using the graphics
Goal: Find out why suddenly none of my MySQL pages are working! Berate the person responsible!
Goal: Design and write text for the Poster Content section of my poster
Goal: Finish my poster
Goal: Fool-proof DKv2.0; make it check to see if a username is taken
