Humble beginnings

So yesterday I choose Mr. Stonehouse as my supervisor. I have Daniel and Steve already for support but also want to find a local professional as a mentor.
Tomorrow I am heading to the Sunshine Ski Lodge AGM where hopefully I will be able to suss out what people actually want from an online booking system.

I have been talking to Steve tonight and he has set me up with a SVN repository which is a way of keeping track of all your code and the various versions you have. I have been reading about relational databases and normal form and am having a go at designing a database structure. I am still using 1NF (first normal form) and will use 2NF (second normal form) once I can see a use for a relational table. This is all with MySQL for the record. The book I have been reading is "PHP and MySQL For Dynamic Websites" by Larry Ullman, Peachpit Press.
