Tomorrow I have an exam in Database Programming, this involves creating tables and updating, etc. We are currently learning the basics of SQL and I think it is interesting enough. Since I started this class this semester I have become more familiar with how to view information in my database.

Not that I would be editing much at the moment in SQL, however in the future it will be a great resource to have for when I make a website. I think in my third year (Next Year) it will be required to be used when making our final project, which will be to create a website, using all the skills and knowledge we have learned over the years in the course.
In tomorrows exam however I am not too worried, I am confident that I will be able to pass it, and as an added bonus the exam will be open book so I can bring all my notes in with me. When I am at home I use XAMPP to practice using SQL, with XAMPP it allows you to do many things such as install sites offline, it is basically a server on your pc, I made a post last year about how to set up XAMPP, check it out here to find out how.

Today is St Patricks Day, and I am taking it easy now that I am home from work. So excuse the short post today
.
On the other hand I have always heard of a Guinness with a shamrock on it, but have yet to get one with it, on St Patricks it should be custom to have them on the top, but I hear some places do, I havent seen one and I am not a mad drinker of Guinness but if I knew they were putting these on it I would just have to buy one
.

I know they are hard to do but they look really good, and would probably make a lot more people buy them even just for the day!

I have been working hard on my new design for The Entertainment Clam tonight and have made a lot of progress. When I am finished it will be completly different. I found a basic design for the site a few days ago but it was so badly put together I have decided to scrap it and make my own, I suppose that by making my own I can have the satisfaction of saying “I Designed That!”.

I wouldnt call myself anywhere near an expert when it comes to coding but I definitly can find my way around code, it just takes a while to get used to it. I need this for use with my video site because it is running on a pre-made video script, by now since I have been working on the site for a while i now know my way around it. I find it a lot easier to edit the new design for the site this time round. The last time I had no knowledge of where everything was in the script, but now I do
.
I have now made the site a bit easier to navigate, now when you view a video you can view more videos by that artist or in the same category, this is great if for example you discover a new artist you like, you can simply have a quick look at the other songs on the site by that artist, also you can view related videos to show some other artist’s that you may like too
.
I look foward to the new theme being put live once it is finished.
