Days 6 and 7 of 30

On the six and seventh days…

It’s been almost a week since the challenge started and as you can see in the 30dayers feed site there is a lot of activity and progress is definitely being made by everyone involved. As it has been mentioned in one of the feed’s post that the quality of the products is really impressive. Having the 30-day challenge and the spectre of not meeting the target is a very good motivator for really doing quality work. To the others involved in this challenge I encourage you to push on, it will all be worthwhile in the end.

On the sixth day I got had to take a step back in the development of the product/product item portion of the application. I decided against having a two-level approach in recording the products. I went for a single table with more data instead. During this time I had a brainwave which I shall describe in another blog post (possibly after this one). The whole process of undoing the two-level approach took sometime since I had to remove the product item processing feature and then revise the product portion to cater for the increase in data. This was the sixth day.

The seventh day is a completely different story. I managed to finalise the product processing and add the contact processing. The contact processing portion manages the communication between the uisv and others. I think being able to keep track of all contact made with clients is a good thing because it gives you a history of your relationship with them.

The funny thing with this development effort is there are a lot of things that I want to add but I know if I will not finish so I am maintaining a separate list of things to have after the 30-days are up. One of those things is the inclusion of alerts.

That’s it for now. Hopefully, the entry for Day 8 will be more substantial and also I will new screenshots as well.
