12Finished Up Database Integration!
Posted by Kevin Doak on Thursday at: 6:45pm (February 12th, 2009)
Certainly a tech oriented post but directly relating to my swimming and this site.
I've finished up the database that will run the dynamic content on the site as soon as it's implemented. It will allow me to upload race results on the go! This is exciting to me because I can now add times, race data, notes, swim suit type, rested/tapered/shaved, and other details WHILE at the meet. I can do all this from any phone or computer. It will save me time and energy and my site will be updated DURING the meet rather than after it. It is the same convenience that I enjoy with blogging from my phone, however much more advanced and flexible.
Other updates include full database site integration coming within the next few days. Meaning when I get a best time, it will automatically be displayed in my times tables, as well as the main page and records page all at once. I will be tracking down and adding EVERY swim from my entire career.
I also plan to integrate charting and statistics to the site, I'm still working out the details on that one. Thanks for reading my dorky post!
