Work continues on www.my-list.com ··· should have the video portion complete within the next couple of weeks. This portion is written in perl cgi script. I have separated the HTML from the code using templates. This is just reading in the HTML into a string, replacing placeholders with data, them printing the string to the screen. It′s pretty efficient. Would be nice to have some users. Especially one′s who will provide feedback. Using the “New Video” screen, have loaded 158 DVD′s into the system. Seemed to work fine. However, it was really not a good test. After all I know how the system works and therefore used it within those limits. Some real users can prove invaluable insight on how it really works. Have looked for a graphic design person to provide some real graphics for the site. Need a first page that clearly defines my-list using graphics and a few words. It should be contemporary, professional looking and appealing.
Currently planning on coding the CD functionality using PHP. Have not decided what to use for the “Other” functionality. Maybe Python?
