Programming Working Journal

Check-in: tired, but look forward to the day of programming.

Planned 07:00-13:00 6h

- JS finish Steve's assignment
- JQuery finish Steve's assignment
- Re-build TEDxGongguuan

JS Steve's assignment

List of mistake:
- First append, and then change style.
- Get stuck because of typo of word
-> Use double click to check the variable
-> Must seriously think about getting it more compact

JS-> getElementById vs. directly calling the variable, needs the former to insert text node.

Attack:
1. http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_style.asp
2. Just refer to Steve's original assign.

a. Use table
b. Use border

Programming Working Journal

Check-in: Full and a bit tired.

Actual: 09:15- 11:30 2h15min
Get long time error because the clause wasn't within body.

Planned Schedule: 09:15-12:00. 2h 45.

Finish w3 school about Javascript part.

- difference between break and continue
-> continue break loop, for the next loop.

- Object; For...in statement
->var person={fname:"John",lname:"Doe",age:25};
var x;
for (x in person)
{
document.write(person[x] + " ");
}

Programming Working Journal

Check-in: Full. A bit tired.
attack plan 20 h DP.
- start with Steve's tutorial, and exercise.
- went through w3 school quickly
- rebuild TEDxGongguan.com

Actual
20:50-23:00 w3 school

Planned Schedule:
20:50-23:30 revisit Steve's tutorial



Goal:
JQuery/Java Script
Download HTML 5.


Steve's Tutorial week 6 JQuery

Steve's Assignment week 6

w3
- try .js, external javascript file 
- Case sensitive.
- document.getElementById('x').innerHTML="y"
->Change x to y.
- document.write(x)
-> seems to be how to echo something in JS
- If you add a number and a string, the result will be a string!

-variable=(condition)?x:y
- a=[1, 2, 3, 4]
-> That's how to write array

- switch(){
 case 1:
 case 2: document.write("this is good");
 break;
}

Check-in:

Actual 07:00-11:30 (- 1h breakfast+snakes)


Good job on nailing most of the function, and get a lot of practice. You know how to use the basics of them, add oil. Remember the joy of writing for($i=0, isset($a[$i]), $i++)!
 
add oil muyueh, one step at the time.
Be so good that they can't ignore you.



07:00-11:30 4h30
Need to finish all term, and practice practice practice.





Baptiste mentioned that a good programming, apart from the execution detail; should really be how one look at the big picture of the problem.
-> He is continued exposed to positive swarm effect.

Continue on the log in page problem:

- whether it is possible to write one empty check code for both password and name
-> Kind of a variable filed
- Do we/how to md5 the password before it is even it is send out?
-> might need to dis-activate the field.

Programming Working Journal

Check-in: 6:10 am A bit hungry, but feeling great to be able to start the day that early.

Actual:
Good morning start, the effect was great. Just don't get distracted.
Spend 2 h on figure out how to send question on stock overflow, have not succeeded yet. 

06:30- 12:30 Continue to break the Thursday list ( 90 min)
Practice, practice and practice the skill
re-write the log-in system.


Question that remains unsolvable after 1 hour:
How add/remove quotation mark?

So that I can do the following:

echo substr('abcdef', 0, -3); // expecting output: abc
echo addquote(substr('abcdef', 0, -3)); // expecting output:substr('abcdef', 0, -3)

Programming Working Journal

Check-in: Tired, but fine.

Actually:
20:40-23:26 (-20 min nap) Great! Make some major progress with term you didn't know before : )
Schedule:
20:40-23:40 (3h) Google unknown term/method of the log in system, rewrite it.
Trim; md5; function, false-true variable

Reading https://github.com/simfatic/RegistrationForm/blob/master/source/include/fg_membersite.php

Need to understand the following, get a quick google search, and practice to use it to write code:

- define
 http://www.w3school.com.cn/php/func_misc_define.aspdefine("Aaaa", "Hello world")
echo "Aaaa";
-> appear Hello world

- array_push
-> add multiple things to the end of array
array_push($a, "tik", "nik");
-> $a([5]->tik, [6]->nik)
- print_r($a)-> return everything of the $a array!
- print
To be exploredhttp://php.net/manual/en/function.print.php
- $bret?sometimes refer as $bRetMight be the same thing as boolean return ($breturn)
- $this->sitenamehttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/1523479/what-does-the-variable-this-mean-in-php"The pseudo-variable $this is available when a method is called from within an object context." from php.net
It is used under an object oriented environment.I guess my question was, why do we need $this.
Then, it make sense to use it as the following show: 
function a($x){ return $this->error_hash;}
As the function can be later been called within a class.

- !isset
isset is use to see whether a variable has been set
-> if it is "unset" or equal to "null" it will return with false

- substr(md5(uniqid()),0,10)
-> substr is a difficult one.

- if(!result|| mysql_num_rows($rows)<=0)
-> mysql_num_rows() and mysq_affected_rows()
the former for counting the number we have last SHOW or SELECT;
and the later includes number for INSERT, DELETE and other.

 - preg_match

There is something interesting about this expression, study it more:

Reflection: Reading new code is actually complex, get to distracted about every detail. Spend a lot of time learning what "class" is (still not sure how to use private class). Need to have higher ratio of omission.

Current step for learning new part:
Get Broad picture first(Neglect everything unless you are stuck. )-> Look at line of code from the most important part-> List down what you don't understand-> Break and Conquer 

List of outstanding:
- Understand $this
- Understand private and public class

Information helps to form multi-narrative, and this is important.
Needs to be a great hacker to build a secure mechanism. He has been hacking since he was 16, reaching  10 years/10,000 hours of practice very early.

Interested to know that he doesn't seem to have any interaction with the Chinese internet, given that he seems to have hacked many major network, this seems very strange.

Wikileaks had a lot of information, and he seems to have a way to proceed through 70,000 entries. The way of how he organized the data might be very interesting.

Check-in: Nervous about being slow, and never seems to pull off one day.
I will be just fine, keep faith in yourself.

It seems like the biggest problem is that I have a doubt, on whether this is what I truly want to do for the long term. Present seems to be good enough.

This makes me think of why I want to learn programming. Because you have great observation and great idea. And sometime, you are the only one that is convinced that this is a great idea, so there are no people but you to test this idea.

And I guess that you are just curious to know, whether the idea will work or not. It is this kind of curiosity, that you will regret the day you died.

"What about that idea? Will that ever flies?"
