Fellow monks,
I have been hired to code a calendar almost exactly like this one with the calendar data entered via whatever I design into a MySQL db. As it stands I plan to contemplate the most intuitive way to set up the dates as indices and maybe a limited array of topic headings for an alternate presentation of event by topics. Then I'll make the Perl to create and red the data as I envisioned it.

My question is how others go about relatively simple projects like this when they have more or less free rein? Which comes first data structure or code?

TIA
jg
