I finally started working on a prototype website this week. With the sitemap more or less finalized, Fardad gave me the go-ahead to make a prototype. Since I’ve never coded a website using JSP, a lot of the next few weeks will be trial and error while I figure things out. I’ve been using this tutorial to get started. I decided on using NetBeans as my IDE because it has built-in server and database management tools. I didn’t come in Thursday or Friday because I have exams next week. I’ll probably take next week off as well to finish up assignments and projects.
