For years, now, I have had a “hope-to-get-to” project idea of creating a program that will generate data for use in my databases that I give to my students. I would delve a little while into the idea, only to find time pressures & other work making me push it to the side. I would say to myself, “Eventually….”
Well, time has come again where I started raising that idea, and I decided (again) to do a quick Google search to see what others might have done. Lo and behold, there is a site out there by Black Sheep Web Software called GenerateData.com. It’s written in JavaScript, PHP and MySQL, and it looks pretty cool! Even better, it’s under a very nice GNU Open Source license (read it here) allowing for this to be copied/modified/redistributed. Perfect for my needs!
Now, all I need is the time to dive in and modify it. Eventually….
