Creating a WhitePaper Download Page

12.02.09

I was just awarded a job that collects client information, and when it all validates they will be sent an email with a link to download a PDF whitepaper.  I am able to leverage a lot of my existing code in this project since the collection form is very similar to many contact forms I have created.  I have good JavaScript required field validation, and a PHP field validation (in case JavaScript is turned off).  Sending an email in PHP is such a common function, that I also have a lot of existing code to speed that development as well.

I have a 2 week time frame for this project, but when I get all the data they want to collect in the form, I feel I can be done with development and internal testing in about 2 days.  Allow another day or so for the customer to test, and this one should be out the door.

I like the scope of these projects.  Quick Hits that leverage a lot of existing code, good way to make some shopping money.
