I got myself into a proyect where i'm suposed to create a
system for personal pages, (one like geocities or angelfire,
but simpler). but i have no idea what to do now, i can't
program.

do you know where can I get a script for this. if it works
on user accounts better.

not a blog.

any help would be appreciated

I'm so glad I became too depressed to function in normal
society

well, "here" as in my actual location, which is sitting in
front of my slightly yellowish monitor on a beach chair
because my computer chair broke.

there's only way to learn and that's to learn.

i do php development for work and i can tell you that you'll
need to be more specific as to what you want to do. are you
asking to do a content management system? there's a program
called mambo which is already made for you but it has
standardized templates and options. go check google for it.

if you want to make something more complicated, or has
different options from the ones mambo gives you, then you'll
have to learn html, css, javascript, php, mysql - REALLY
well. you have to understand cross-browser support,
sessions, layout structure, user management, and processing
optimization (among other things). you don't want to end up
creating a non-object-oriented system which slows everything
down and makes pure spaghetti code.

just my two cents.

The idea is to create a system of personal webpages for
academics, so the academics can just fill some forms and the
thing would generate the webpage, with options to upload
courses and general info.

i'll search for mambo and see if it fits.

Meh that's piss easy. Is this part of a course you are
doing or a professional venture?

You should easily have it done by November, even if you have
to start from scratch. The easiest way to approach it would
be to decide exactly what it is you need to acheive. Do a
formal requirements and specification document, break the
problem down as far as possible and write down logically how
you would solve each of the problems in English. Then learn
only the code you need to for solving each problem. Even if
you have no programming experience, with a couple of hours a
week you should have it done by the beginning of August.

Also don't go looking for open source solutions to base your
code on, you will only end up with a sub standard, poorly
coded, result and little more understanding than when you
began.
