And so begins Project Oshi

I have decided to fully commit to making Project Oshi, a lesson picker/student file management system that will be based upon my experience in Japan and will serve simply as a personal project.

I’m developing it in PHP and going for an iterative build method. This is so that I am actually producing something on a regular basis rather than getting bogged down in methodologies/ER diagrams and normalisation etc!

I have started by creating the very first pages, add student and view student. At this current stage they are purely wireframes, no presentation/validation/verification or security has been added. By starting simple and getting the functionality right, it gives a good skeleton to build upon. The next part of development will be to flesh these pages out with CSS & Javascript to make it look more useable and to add some Client Side Validation.

Getting started means wracking my brains for what little PHP/CSS/JavaScript I still remember but it’s coming back thick and fast now. I should have screens in the next few days, maybe….

mata ne!
