Right, I came to a point when I need to be able to take better control of my work schedule. Particularly, I receive coding jobs on a regular basis, and it would be best if I could manage them online through a a database driven script, like keep track of development progress, archive finished jobs, be able to check the schedule to meet any upcoming deadlines, maintain my workspace clean and avoid delays in delivering work. Is there something I could pick up and use/customize to my neeeds rather than start coding something from scratch which I haven't got the time for? Appreciate any suggestions.
Microsoft has a good free one for ASP.NET http://www.asp.net/downloads/starter-kits/time-tracker/ You can use it out of the box or customize it.
I should point out that I need it to be a web application, a PHP script. Thanks for your input though!
Have you had a look at DotProject (dotproject.net)? It takes a bit of getting used to but it's pretty powerful. For bug tracking in particular (if you wanted that) I honestly believe you can't go past Mantis (mantisbt.org).
Thanks! I have checked on dotproject and it's a bit behind what I need but I think Mantiz is just it. I will customize it to my requirements and I think it should do for now.
