PHP/Core
PHP Core is a PHP MVC framework I am writing or small scale websites.
The aim of writing a custom framework is to increase my understanding of php rameworks by writing my own, and to write a framework that is easier to install on shared hosting servers.
This website is written using PHP/CoreJewish Military Museum - Record of Honour Database, Touchscreens & website
The Record of Honour is a list ov over 86,000 names and details of Jewish service men and women that where part of the british forces for the years 1939 to 1960.
Getting the database up (technically): -
When I first joined the project all the data was stored on index cards, my first task was to develop and deploy a relational database to stote data. Due to shared tables with the museum's active membership database Microsoft Access was chosen as a front end with MySQl as a backend. Data was normalised into over 20 tables allowing name, rank, unit etc to be stored, storing data in this format allowed oice staff to locate a record in only a few seconds!
Touchscreens, 3 of them!
As the data filled the database the Jewish Military Museum decided to present the data in their museum to visitors.
It was decided that a touchscreen would be the most eligent means of displaying the records. After the success of the first touchscreen unit, the Ammunition Hill museum in Jerusalem set up to touchscreens, I had to remotely configure the PCs for use as a touchscreen.Website
To lure new visitors to come to the Jewish Military Museum I was asked to create a feature for a website whereby people could view limmited information about service people.
JLGB Brigade Reunited
Brigade reunited is social networking for ex-members of a national youth organisation.
The site allows user groups, photo galleries, private messages and other socicial networking functionality.
The existing website is built on the Phorum software so I had to keep it compatible with the existing system.
The site is currently in testing.Institute of Biology - Questionaire
In 2007 a was asked to develop an online questionaire to guage science teachers toughts on carrieing out science experiments in classrooms.
The questionaire ran for one month and was very successful during it's run. I was then asked to provide data feeds for data mining, after some planning I decided that exporting data in Microsoft Excel was the best solution.AJEX Website
The Accosiation of Jewish ex-Servicemen and women contacted me and asked me to redesign their website and to liase with their webmaster to provide updates.
