Project: Personal Wishlist
Role: Web Designer/Programmer
This was a small website I made because my wife and I wanted an easy way to keep track of the things we wanted for gift idea purposes. I wanted it to be web-based so that friends and family could utilize it too. The main goal was to create something that was clean and could easily be maintained through a web interface. I also wanted to experiment with AJAX. All code work was done by hand using Notepad++ text editor.
Key Features
- Site utilizes a "single page" that is updated as needed using JavaScript/AJAX and PHP.
- Site is database-driven and virtually all content comes from DB.
- Administration web interface allows users to easily add/remove list items and reorder their priority.
- Registry page allows guests to "claim" items as gifts to avoid purchasing the same item as someone else.
Technologies Utilized
HTML / CSS / PHP / MySQL / JavaScript / jQuery / AJAX
