Week 14

For Week 14, I was finally able to begin most of the debugging. After the ridiculous delays caused by switching servers several times and not having an adequate testing server, I debugged the pages I had previously created. The jobs section of the website should be fully functional now, so that the admin can add, edit, or delete a job from the database. The "View Jobs" page is still functional and ready for the front-end team to take it away and add functionality such as JavaScript to hide jobs until a user clicks on it to expand the content. In addition, I began adding a few graphical elements that aid a user in determining the function of a link, such as a red 'X' for deleting an item. Although this would typically be the job of the front-end and/or design teams, I figure that by adding it now, it is something that they can modify if they so desire. Also, Monday, I began work on a basic CSS layout for the portal. Likewise, I began teaching several of the front-end people how to code CSS. I started a simple mock-up of the code needed for the layout based on the design chosen by our client, and worked with Kevin and Ryan to help them understand how to work with CSS and HTML.
