Over stretching myself
Recently I started to build a project using AJAX and PHP, It started well got auction items to load using AJAX working and my confidence soared. This lead to start another experimental project on the side. I thought if i could load items with AJAX i could build the login system in AJAX.
This was much harder than i expected, i built the front and and back end and got it communicating simple strings. Getting to this point was alot of experimentation which revealed i didnt know as much about http as i thought. I somehow managed to get something to work with luck along.
It was when I tried to send POST request with data that i really struggled. I'm not one to give up easily so kept trying.
This brings me to the point of the post, while its good to challenge yourself its important to make sure the basics are covered. I would have wasted less time had I been more knowledgeable.
For now i will keep learning back end and get more into Java and learn API's via the back end first.
When i'm ready to try ajax on the front end i will definately start with a book and not just google answers and use code snippets that just create more confusion.
