WGHS Rooms App Early stage

Some progress on my little app for booking rooms at school. It has a login screen and currently returns a list of upcoming room bookings...

...which is just a specially formatted web page.
Oh, and it has an icon.


Yeah, it's not going to be out-selling Angry Birds, but the important thing is to learn how it's done!

Fixing the logins and playing with app development

Well, it seems that I made a bit of a mistake when I set up the login cookie system on my Rooms Booking site. Whenever you switched computers and tried to log in, it was creating a strange limbo state where you were logged in, but couldn't do anything. Confusing. Anyway, I think it's fixed now. If you move computers, you will have to log in again. Solved.

I have also been working on an Android app to access the database. I'm not sure if anyone would use it, but really it's just an exercise for me to learn how to create a data-linked app. Screen-shots will appear as they happen.
