[Programming] Debugging

You never realize how bad you are at programming until you're forced to do it without an error log.

One of my group mates and I were working on some PHP code during lab and for some unknown reason, the lab computers don't have a local web server installed on them so we were forced to debug it the hard way.

We basically commented the entire program, un-commented a line of code, uploaded it to the school server, and checked to see if the program broke. If so, we'd go in to investigate what was wrong with that line.

Not fun. Would not want to do that again. Will probably have to though.

[Programming] Javascript: Calling 3 Functions Synchronously

Personally, I have no idea why I'm putting programming on this blog. This wouldn't seem like the place to post programming questions and help; however, I feel like when I talk aloud to myself or type down extensive notes and comments, it helps me think and figure out problems I couldn't solve by simply staring at them.

The problem I'm currently having with one of my projects involves 3 functions that are running asynchronously (all at once) while I want them to run synchronously (one after the other).
