I have been learning JavaScript/CSS/HTML 5 for the past 7-8 months and have a couple of applications available in the official Palm App Catalog. Early on, one of the downfalls of the Palm developer portal was that we could not see actual unique purchases of our applications. The numbers that could be seen for "downloads" were just that: TOTAL downloads which included application updates, re-installs, etc. That is just not a good number for people who want to try and anticipate potential revenue, user base numbers, and so on.

Once I got my simple coinbank module working, I decided to dive into another task that has been in the back of my mind for a couple years. I run another Web site for my family that is going to be used for news about events, such as our family reunion. My mother has also been doing a lot of genealogy work and approached me sometime ago about getting some of it published at the site.

So, this has come together quickly (for me). I now have the minimum requirements for a rudimentary banking system. It only operates in whole numbers, and by default allows neither negative balances nor multiple accounts. It logs transactions. I will be using this module on the site for registered users....more details once I'm ready.

I've begun working on a simple module for this site. It's going to be a very basic 'coin bank' system. I have my work cut out for me as I don't know much PHP and I'm definitely not a programmer. So far, I've been able to get a basic module.install file together that creates a couple of database tables. There's an administration form and an account creation form. It has taken me 3 days to get this together, but I'm making progress.
