Courses: In chronological order- Pascal Fortran AS Electronics technology AS Machine Tools technology Java C HTML JavaScript Access Dreamweaver A & B Telecommunications A + B XML Dreamweaver C
Project Role: 1: Did a lot of general reaserch, primarily for Hosting Analysis. 2: Mothers Lodge: Set up a secure site using a MySQL database and Dreamweaver to generate the code. 3: Hallberg Butterfly Garden- A random image load on start up, a Paypal donation form, and a virtual tour that was never implemented for lack of content. 4: Life Works- A Paypal donation form.
What I learned from the project: 1: Prior to this project I had no real idea of how to implement a MySQL database, of Dreamweaver capability with PHP. 2: I wrote a nice little snipped of JavaScript for dealing with images. 3: The BIG thing I learned from this project was client relation. In many ways I was acting as a sub-contractor and I feel that I should have met with all of my potential clients. I ran into a great deal of difficulty getting the clients to subscribe to various services such as Paypal. I believe this was in part because the client were unfamiliar / uncomfortable with these services. Perhaps if I could have been there to hold their hand things would have gone much more smoothly, and I would have save myself a LOT of time in the long run!

I also came to realize how the different skill sets complement one another.
