This week I’m actually pleased with my progress. After a slow start I have managed to finish the week on a high. Buying another book this week really helped me understand the role of MySQL within web development and I have now managed to integrate some small scripts of PHP with a database.

Now I have got the basics learned I need to move on to the more advanced sections of my learning in order to have a fully finished project within the next couple of weeks. I’m concious at the minute I still haven’t made the crib sheet I was going to start with. I think this will be a lot easier to do however now I have some real life experience of the languages I’m to summarise.

My targets for the next week are to have my learning area fully built [most of the hard work was done yesterday]. This will coincide with the learning stage of my SMLP being completed. At this stage I should have the relevant knowledge to continue with the build phase. I am also looking toward my SMLP day next week [Thursday] to have a working unstyled version of my site leaving me the best part of a week to get on with the styling and final checks completed.
