Private Beta Delay
An idea of mine, against some suggestions out there was to get my app out in to private beta. Get a few course mates using it and see what they think of it. The only problem as you can guess by the previous entry is that it’s running a little behind my proposed schedule.
This may be a good thing. I’ve read loads of blog posts and books that suggest just getting it out there for the world to see. The only problem with this I feel is my lack of knowledge surrounding PHP/MySQL security my end up breaking something and I’d rather it didn’t.
I’ve also found out the sheer amount that needs to go in to the final report. A dissertation is around 10,000 words. A project like this where you’d hope to right a quick look over the project around maybe 1,000 – 2,000 is actually 4,000 to 6,000 words long.
Now it seems to me that I’m pretty sure my development time is more important and produces results than a massive report at the end. May just be me though.
