New OSWM President - Shane Jeffers
]]>I have recently been working with Javascript and AJAX along with PHP to create a new DB project. It starts with a login system that checks for a username that was encrypted on creation (via secure webform I also created) then goes to a function panel. This panel includes a Google-like auto suggest feature, drop-down lists populated by names and info from different tables in the DB and even prints out a report with names, and files that link together to display pdf files.
A new project began last night, borne out of the need for a customer to be able to update his Events page on a site I helped John Shacklette build. This too includes a login panel and a page that allows the user to post new events via web form. Simply put, its a content management system (CMS). This too I built from scratch. I hope to add an update and delete panel soon and then i’ll post the link for you to see it.
I also plan to post full tutorials for the login system and the CMS soon.

Wise words from the Bible :) For us at OSWM, or any organization, we face the same challenge. The current leadership of OSWM is a group of people who are excited about development and technology, ready to put in long and hard work, and personally vested in the success of our members and future members. We have goals of building a solid network of talented people, growing the club into the largest and most recognized of all the clubs at ECPI, and even spreading to the other 14 campuses. We would like to pay for certifications, software, computers, scholarships and so on. We would like to offer workshops for not only our members, but prospective high school students in the community. All of these things can be accomplished, but they take time.
This is why involvement is key. As the leadership of today passes on into the workplace, new leadership with the same hunger and vision must take their place in order for these goals to become a reality. They must take on the extra hours, sacrifice the extra time. This of course is not only to the benefit of the club, but also to the one stepping up to the challenge. The leadershp and collaborative skills acquired will be used in the workplace and will prove to be invaluable, not to mention the sparkle that this type of involvement adds to a resume.
We need Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, Reporters, Webmasters, and so on. We need the new members to become leaders and the leaders to become alumni. We need people willing to help and be helped. What’s your function? What skill or talent do you have that you can lend to the group? You have something. Maybe you just need the opportunity to use it. They say in life everyone has a circle of responsibility. Some draw a circle that only encompasses themselves. Others draw a circle around family or friends. Still others draw an even bigger circle, affecting the lives of many people. How big is your circle? Discuss.
