Fellow monks,
I have been hired to code a calendar almost exactly like this one with the calendar data entered via whatever I design into a MySQL db. As it stands I plan to contemplate the most intuitive way to set up the dates as indices and maybe a limited array of topic headings for an alternate presentation of event by topics. Then I'll make the Perl to create and red the data as I envisioned it.

My question is how others go about relatively simple projects like this when they have more or less free rein? Which comes first data structure or code?

TIA
jg

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
