week 5 post

So this post is a little late for week 5, but regardless here it is. Creating advanced forms for the last assignment was quite difficult for me. Even though I seemed to have gotten some parts of the javascript to work, such as having the script tell when the entry was filled or not, I only later found a tutorial on the wiki that specifically addressed the different types of code needed to "check" if each entry was filled in with the information it specified. Still, it was a good learning experience as I got to see a a bit more of how the potential of javascript and how in-depth you can make your sites depending on your knowledge of the language. I think these assignments have been very helpful in introducing me to different programming languages -- though i'm sure what I know is very basic, it has given me something to work with in the future.

So at this point we have developed a rough timeline of what we want our project to be. We agreed that we would change our name from facebook pro to careerfolio, and we want the facebook application to have your coverletter, resume, and references. We've been having several online group meetings on AIM to discuss our plans, and it seems that I will really have to work hard to learn the facebook API since my skills as a web programmer are lacking and this project is amibitious. So after setting up the server, hopefully we will be able to somehow partition the workload so that we can all contribute to moving the project along.
