Ever since I was in secondary school, all I wanted to do was to create software. Very ambitious, but it is quite a solid plan, even if it kind of lacks direction.
It is bliss when a computer prints a message on the screen just because you write println("Hello World"); That was 11 years ago give or take.
Now I'm staring at this programming assignment in front of me. I open up the editor and I start working on something. It doesn't work, so I switch to something else. I attain limited progress, but only by changing half of what I did last time.
This is what causes me to question my ambition. It's not very fun to work on an assignment that refuses to sort itself in your mind.
Last year I had absolutely no problem in working on my assignment and I was terrible at databases. This year is just full of pitfalls, and my database skills have doubled if not tripled. *sigh*
The problem, I believe, is the fact that I have to build a web site that interfaces with databases. Last year I had to do a program that interfaced with a database. The presentation of the program itself makes a huge difference. I suck at dynamic web pages. It's something that I have not had much experience with.
I predict asking lots of questions this week.
Don't give up! You're finding this hard because it's not something you thought up yourself. There's also nothing wrong with asking questions. This will only make you feel better once you manage :)
ReplyDeleteThe real problem is the website interface. The guts of the thing work very well, which is great if I want to create a BBS :P
