Topical

Topical is a Simple PHP Application to Plan your day-to-day activity. It is not a long term Todo List Management Application, never will be.

This was primarily a Project to get acquainted with jQuery and how to build a web application that only uses Ajax requests to update the Content.

The app tries to handle Time Management as outlined in the Time Management for System Administrators Book.
