Building a crummy web app tonight

I'm building a really ugly - nasty web app tonight.

I spun up a VM with CentOS7. Installed httpd and mariadb.


Update 2300 -

wget jquery
building out the directory structure

hello world working

Setting up .vimrc

Starting work on the form.


Dynamic list w/ append

Working on removing items from list

wget bootstrap

yum install unzip

unzipped bootstrap - placed files I'll be using in proper place in file system

Items can now be removed

It's as crappy as I could ever hope it to be - but the front end is built out - bootstrapped. I'm going to tweak the items to look more like buttons and then add a submit button for moving the items to the database. Finally, I'll work on getting the data from the database to load for a persistent list.


DAY 2

0645

Let's see how we can polish this turd...

The list can be updated dynamically (no calls to db yet just using jquery to prepend items to list)
This is to "protype" what the layout will be when the items are returned from the db so they don't look like an html page from the earlier 90's.

At this point I'm going to start building a rest webservice which can handle loading new items into the database without having to reload the page.

Getting coffee --- refuel

Built database

List items now being created in JSON. Next , write PHP script to take JSON and put it into database.

Been away for most the day - but now I'm dynamically writing to db.

Next, dynamically get data from db instead of using jquery append to list.
