Welcome

I'm a student and this blogg has been created to keep information on a daily to weekly basis about my project that i am doing to get my Bachelor of Information Technology. This is based on my progress, and a place to put all of my information, not entirely a proper blogg. Though sometimes i feel like i'll be talking to myself... Any ways, enjoy and feel free to comment. If your wondering what this project is and dont want to read every single post, just go to the Proposal link, or any of the "posts worth looking at" below.

24/4 Virtual Machines continued

_________________________________________________________
Start 9.30 a.m.
_________________________________________________________


*Yawn* Carrying on with virtual machine, i have the SQL Server 2005 iso image, so i can at least get that up and running, i havent got the Visual Studio iso yet, will sort that out. I'll create te database etc first in case getting that iso takes a couple of days.

Bahh, VMware Player giving me grief, stupid bug where if the update option comes up you just get a blank screen, so you have to keep re-opening virtual machine until you can cancel the update option before the log in screen comes up, other wise your doomed! This is like a game... except its not fun. AHHH FFS stupid vmware, sucks when it takes 10 goes just to open a damn machine, i dont want your stupid update!!!!!. YESSS take that!!!! Finaly got in...

22/4 Start of Implementation pt. 1

Hey! Had a few days off. Today i'm just going to put together an overview of what i need to do for the implementation of the business layer and database.

My milestone states:
6th May - Implementation Part One

  • Implementation of database finished
  • Business layer (All classes implemented and talking to database, Web service running)
Thats a start but i need to break this down further.


Implementation of Database
  • Install virtual machine and get Microsoft SQL server 2005 up and running.
  • Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 on virtual machine (alternatively i can try get hold of a virtual machine with both of these installed.
  • Create database, tables, relationships, stored procedures.
  • Insert fake data


Implementation of Business Layer

  • Create project, classes
  • Create webservice
  • Create database connections
  • Create test page to get data

Instead of napping i spent time sorting out dates, confused myself with my planned out dates vs my milestones haha, not actually supposed to be starting implementation until next week. Oh well start anyways.

3 Hours
