Seriously. I hate writing applications that consist entirely of
// get result set with mysql_query
// check if there are any results
// loop through each result
// output its data
// no results?
// output message saying so
Once you’ve mastered that you can get hundreds of freelance jobs and securely say you have the prerequisite skills. It’s just so dull after writing it a hundred thousand times. Oh, that and
// has this form field been set?
// yes, update database
That’s everything. I want something more interesting. I expect this is why Rails was made because someone got sick of doing this.
