I just need to VENT!

There's nothing like trying to learn how to swim just when you realise your boat is sinking....

I'm just an undergrad who likes to design blogs for fun. So I am familiar with html, but that's about it... I still look up tags and everything...

So I'm working for this prof who's developing an online course. I help out with the course content. Before I know it, the programmer has disappeared (literally, can't phone her, can't find her) and the course is half completed. Because I have basic knowledge of webby things, it makes me the most qualified person here to deal with it. We've paid the programmer all the money we could (we got a grant) and now we can't hire another one.

Flying by the seat of my pants, I have no idea what I'm doing. It's like a giant frustrating logic puzzle. I mean just yesterday I figured out how to create a new table with all the fields that I needed. Today's problem (in addition to one I've already posted) is how to point my pages to those tables.

*sigh*. That felt a little better.

that sucks.....what software are you using to make a website?i mean you still use notepad or dreamweaver?

[peachsorbet]

I'm using dreamweaver, which isn't the problem.

My SQL (which I'm currently wrestling with) is. I don't understand the basis of PHP, so I'm really just reading code and comparing it with other bits of code that she left behind and trying to figure out what does what. This might be fun as a personal project, but as something that is preventing me from carrying out my research and that has to be done by a set deadline it's just beyond frustrating.

If you want, I could help you out a bit. I'm pretty good with the php and mysql stuff, so your problem should be... no problem :). Just e-mail me at:

theuedimaster at gmail.com

If you would pay that would be cool, but it looks like you're out of cash :(. I'll do it just if you put my name on the site (I've been feeling for a new project to do anyways). E-mail exactly what you need to do, plus tell me your sn, and we could fix up your problem in a jiffy.
