  • OneNote feelings

    2 Comments

    I just played with OneNote beta, and I admit it's probably a great tool.

    But I'm not so excited as before install it. It's surely a personal feeling, but I don't find the point to use this tool.
    The only reason I see is to have a Tablet PC otherwise with a laptop and a mouse it's quite akward.

    It's weird but I had the same feeling ,well, a long time ago, when I tried one of the first ever Macintosh produced on this planet with MacWrite and MacPaint ;-)

    You know this kind of sensation to probably use something great but without knowing what to do with it !

  • Quiz source available online

    Ok
     
    So I finally published online the Quiz I developed for my current project Scoilnet, a portal for Irish schools.
     
    You can download it at this link http://www.classoffers.net/quiz.zip
     
    If you have difficulties with that let me know. Unfortunatly no much comments in my code ;-)

    I included all files required for a simple Quiz. You will find also a screengrab of the data and their format.
    I used an old trick to store them, rather than using some relationships between tables, but feel free to do so if you think it's better.

    The questions and answers are stored all in a field with a separator, here $$$.

    The final question must have 9999 as an ID to ensure that the Quiz stop at the end and give the final comments, themselves stored in Questions and answers.

    Feel free to ask if you need more help

    I don't know if you search for a Quiz application, but I just sent the source to Robert Swiger who was searching for one through the excellent Aspnet maillist.

    So feel free to ask me if you are interested by such a little thing ;-)

    For the moment the code is not commented at all (lack of time ;-)) but if it's of some interest I will do
