Zoo Finder

admin — Wed, 20 May 2009 18:37:48 +0000

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:

admin — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:24:01 +0000

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
