Portfolio Handed In

Well, it's all over. My portfolio has been handed in. I have to say I will be sorry to be saying good bye to this project. I'll miss programming. I will not be taking ICT or Computer Science next year, but Film instead. But no worries! I've already decided to go and re-learn C++, but this this time, I'll be making a Windows Program instead of something that runs on the Command Line, like I had done two years ago. I first began programming two years ago and my first programming language had been C++. At the time, programming languages like this had been difficult to take on- especially for a 13 year old. Now, I have more experience, I am quite sure that I have learnt enough to become a capable (albeit Amateur) C++ programmer.

Perhaps given a few more years and a bit more experience, I will return to build an even better website for my father. Perhaps I will even build my own CMS. The possibilities are infinite.

Clint Told

So I told my client about the problem and he didnt seem to have too much problem with it, saying "Well, just put a notice there, telling them to use Internet Explorer"

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5302302/php-if-internet-explorer-6-7-8-or-9
I decided to use PHP to create an If statement and then redirect to the homepage if it was internet explorer, I then used http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/php-redirect/ to find the code for redirecting. It worked fine.

Giant Error

At school, I just realized that it only works on Internet Explorer. It's far too late to change everything now. The entire thing was coded for Internet Explorer. Both I and my client only use Internet Explorer. We only have Internet Explorer on our computers at home. Most of my project was done at home, and out of habit, when I came to school, I would also use Internet Explorer. I must inform my client.

See? This is Mozilla Firefox, it's similar in Google Chrome. The layout is ineffective, the javascript is ineffective. Nothing works. I must inform my client tonight.

I cannot fix it. I checked http://www.reloco.com.ar/mozilla/compat.html which says that lists the many things that must be changed in order to make it compatible with Firefox. I suppose my project was simply too well adapted for Internet Explorer

List of Software used

Notepad++ for coding.
Photoshop CS4 for website designs and graphics
Flash CS4/ CS3 to build the tutorial
XAMPP for servers etc.

Online Services
Internet Explorer
CushyCMS
000webhost.com

The end result is...

Finished!

Finally, I have finished my final touches, I sent my client the product and the tutorial that I made on flash with it. I asked him certain questions on the email. He replied quite quickly, though I found his feedback overly positive

Flash CS4

Last night, I was working at home on Flash CS3 and the tutorial was working fine, but when i got to school and got on to CS4, nothing worked

I looked at this

and found this...
"What I discovered was CS4 does not play nice with networked drives. If your operating on a network try saving your work to the desktop

Cheers

Joe Huck"

I saved it onto the desktop and it worked fine

Done!

I am officially finished with both the website and CushyCMS. A lot of the stuff that was left was very tedious and I saw no need to post such tedious things onto blogger. Now, I've only got to finish off a bit of the Flash Tutorial. I chose to use Actionscript 3.0, having found it quite efficient compared Actionscript 2.0 last year. Flash was quite simple really, I also saw no need to post on blogger.
