Writing Lots of Code
So much going on this week!
In brief, I’m:
- Fighting with MySQL. Up until now I’ve been able to
use MySQL without having
to deal with anything more inconvenient
than the occational lack of a nested SELECT. But this week
I got bit hard when the query builder that I built for a client
wouldn’t work. It seems that MySQL doesn’t support nested
JOINs either. So now I’m rewriting the relationships part of it
to fake INNER JOINS through WHERE statements.
- Learning Java. Many thanks to
Bruce Eckel for
making his book
in Java available as a free download.
Java is fun. Nice and object
oriented. I’ll probably write a program in it soon just
for practice.
- Thinking about my web logging app.
I’ve been delaying in putting my web logger application up for
download. The biggest reason is that the
seems to be
becoming somewhat of a standard,
and so I think I should use it instead of my own
off-the-top-of-my-head API. But that means changing some
things…
OK, I’ve decided: I’ll try to redo the API this week, and if I don’t
get around to it I’ll just release what I’ve got.
On the TODO list: I really want to write a PalmOS app. But so far I
haven’t thought of any ideas for a useful Palm program that I don’t
have already. Any ideas?
