ITS032 - Edge Database - Update

Work is now starting to move on the Edge project, I have had a few issues with getting the right information regarding databases and the permissions to access the databases. Obtaining the code was a further problem.

Bill has explained to me that the project is near completion and should only need some pages to be finished, as I've looked at the code I have spoken with other developers, gabby has referred to it as an excersise in how not to write applications.

He told me that none of the variables are scoped and it runs very inefficiently. The application had no organisational structure and data being passed around within the application was open to outside manipulation and instability. I've taken this to bill and advised him that more time would be required to bring it up to a standard that could be considered professional.

Bill expressed concerns regarding budget however accepted that the remedial work was necessary to produce a quality application. again this is an opportunity to deepen my knowledge of coldfusion further.

I've been given the go ahead to do the work.
