I’m currently developing the Holiday With A Heart website which is based on a Joomla CMS platform.

I volunteered for Frank Water, a charity that supports sustainable clean water projects in developing countries across the world. I developed their website which used Joomla for its content management system and the VirtuMart component for the e-commerce section of the site. Since then the site has been updated further and now runs on a wordpress platform:

This is a website I developed with a friend whilst at university, it incorporates an XML file to store information about zoo’s including address, telephone number and the zoo’s website URL. You are able to search for a zoo either by name or by the letter. For example if you search for the letter “b” all the zoo’s that begin with the letter b will be displayed:

The website incorporates the use of XSLT and XQuery to extract the data from the XML file and style it appropriately before it is displayed on the page. The site also makes use of Yahoo Pipes, data is pulled from the XML file and is used to geocode the longitude and latitude coordinates of the zoo. It’s position is then placed onto a Google Map along with the zoo address details and an image pulled dynamically from flickr. The image link below shows the workings of the Yahoo Pipe:

This is a website I developed whilst at university, it incorporates a MySQL database to store details of rugby teams, players, match scores and points in the 6 nations competition. I used QSEE to create the data model and generate the relational database.

I then created an interface using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and AJAX that was able to connect and communicate with the MySQL database, this enabled me to implement services to:-

• Get a list of all teams in competition with their computed positions
• Get all results for a team
• Get all details of players within the teams
• Add a new match result
