WooCommerce and POCO C++

This week, I set Wt aside to focus more on the WooCommerce WordPress plugin and the POCO C++ libraries, as both will play an important role in the project. WooCommerce REST API An amazing thing about WooCommerce is their easy to use REST API. It is really useful for developers that needs to extract important data in JSON such as customer orders, product categories, attributes and variations, you name it. I started off by installing a Bitnami WordPress virtual machine, Read more

The Wt Framework

My week started off with me meeting Dr Shawn at the office. He told me to just learn the git flow workflow just for that day and I did so, and at the same time I tried to get comfortable with my new working environment. The real work started on my second day where he introduced me about AESTE’s very own project which I would be working on during my internship period as I sat down with him for my Read more

Bye

This week is my last week. I tried my best to make sure that the project that I have been assigned was working even though I know that the way I did it was not in the same way Dr Shawn wanted me to do it. I worked hard on that thing and I wish that I have more time to work on the project. I would like to thank Dr Shawn for giving me the opportunity to be a Read more

Presentation Day

This week I have to do presentation in front of Dr Shawn and my lecturer. I have to do two separate presentation because Dr Shawn has another commitment that he needs to attend. Actually it was a good thing doing two presentations because Dr Shawn gave me a lot of advises about the presentation. He told me that I need to explain more about my projects to the lecturer and all the advises that Dr Shawn gave really helps me Read more

ERPNext API using PHP

This week I managed to perform CRUD operations for Customer, Items and Sales Order by connecting ERPNext API using PHP. Once I successfully managed to do one of the operations the others become easy to do because the code is actually quite similar and I only have to change one or two lines of codes to make it work. But, I faced a problem with Sales Order because in Sales Order it needs to grab the data from Customer and Read more

PHP cURL

My progress is really slow this week. I continued working on ERPNext by writing some PHP code to see whether it can interface with ERPNext API to perform CRUD operations. I am supposed to finish writing the code by this week because I already knew the endpoint for all of the four basic functionalities. But, I waste too much time to understand cURL which I am not supposed to. I will try to speed up next week and finish it Read more

ERP Next API

This week I still continue to look into on how to integrate ERPNext and WooCommerce and after that I tried to run ERPNext VM with VirtualBox. I downloaded ERPNext Production and import it into the VirtualBox. Then, I spend my time trying to find the endpoint to send API request of four basic functions which are Create, Read, Update and Delete. To test this out I am using Client for URLs (cURL) which is a command line tool for getting Read more

Aliyun – Malaysia vs Singapore

I’ve been waiting for a decent cloud provider to provide a data centre in Malaysia for a while. And recently, Alibaba Cloud launched their data centre in Malaysia to some fanfare. So, I decided to take a look at their offerings. While their offerings are pretty nice when compared to other major cloud providers, at a very reasonable price, one thing that caught my attention was the fact that it may be cheaper to host in Singapore, compared with Malaysia.

Doing Research

This week I only continue to do research. I already finished the research that Dr Shawn asked me to do last week. After I finished that task, Dr Shawn asked me to do research about WooCommerce and ERPNext. I need to find out the possibility to integrate those two systems together. WooCommerce is a e-commerce system while ERPNext is a full-featured ERP system. However, the two systems cannot talk directly to each other so I need to find the possibility Read more

Slow IPv6 Routes

We’re trying to increase IPv6 adoption by migrating things. However, slow IPv6 routes don’t help. We tested things using Vultr’s network as they had servers is 15 countries. These are an abbreviated sample of the results.
