I just couldn't spoil that chance of having a free shot at the Developer Certification even though I was under lots of pressure
The one-month requirement was a very good thing, otherwise I would have ended up delaying things and you know how it is: you never get things done.
I have uploaded the assignment three days ago and scheduled the essay exam for next Wednesday.
I actually spent plenty of time during the first two weeks in September to get the most done. On September 16, I was over with the design, implementation and documentation, and still had 2 weeks for tuning things and writing some more docs.
I hope everything will go well. Good luck to the other beta testers
