Dragged Around London Ticket system
So as you may have gathered Dragged Around London is a company that I helped form, of which, I own half. It has lots of potential to put on the books and we hope to have more and more tours and events coming up.
I hope to use the company to build my understanding of money, business and to give me a few hobbies in the mean time, but we have hit a huge snag! Our ticketing system Ticket Tailor is great, but only allows us to put a limited number of tours on the system. On the profit and loss analysis, it just doesn't look like it is worth paying for the upgrade. In order for us to host more events we are left with few options. We are going to have to create a new ticketing system.
I have begun building the system in PHP! I thought I had forgotten this language having not touched it in a few years but it's like riding a bike.
Interestingly I can now build using better structures so this should be more organised code.
I have begun building the Data Access Layer and the front end separately. The front end I want to put into our WordPress CMS so I am learning to use WordPress Custom Pages to build it. I need to work on the Data Access Layer and make sure everything is secure which with PHP is no easy task! Injection potential galore!
I didn't think DAL would stand for two things at Dragged Around London. Can't wait to get this finished and fill the books with events!
