Week 7 - Half way there!

Firstly, apologies to David for failing to write an entry last week! Completely forgot about it quite honestly!!!

We're half way through the semester - only 7 or 8 weeks left before it all ends! Cool and scary at the same time! Looking forward to finishing the course but at the same time feeling pressure to finish the project on time and at the same time keep up with other assignments...

Last week we finally set the date for data transfer! Its going to happen on the 9th of September so we have to try to finish everything by then. There will be few smaller things that we won't be able to completely wrap up before the transfer but it is easy to work on the live site in order to make them work. We need to come up with the strategy of how we're going to do it. We'll probably create a new directory and run the site from there for couple of weeks to make sure it all works fine....but we'll discuss this on Tuesday probably...

I have following things to finish (this is a good chance to see if I'm missing something):

- Quiz: the front end is done and working sweetly! The only thing that is left is the final configuration of the back-end. Its all coded and it only need to be connected with the rest of the back-end site so the client only uses one log in.

- Advanced Search: oh...I haven't done much (read anything) on this for quite some time! The majority is done but I still have some important bits to finish...the good thing is that this is already online so I'm not bothered by the deadline (well not this one anyway)...main thing I need to do is to put some javascript checking and to make sure that if a user does not enter a search string, everything is displayed from that category

- User Forum: this is also 90% done and it only needs some final tweaking. It shouldn't take more then couple of hours to finish so I'll probably leave it last

That's it! There are few things that Steve has to finish but that is all from my side. I'm very happy with the progress of the project. Other guys have been in charge of all documentation and the real challenge for them will be the Test document. I'll have to make sure that they do a proper job...

Thats it for now...will come back with some more next week ;)
