SSPiN Database Prototype

sspin.jpgSSPiN is a prototype database that uses a scalable mutating database that I designed as a back end system for a content management system combining versioning, tagging, social networking, and rating features. The interface is very simple because nearly all of the development time was spent investigating database models that could handle a user created structure to represent anything. The database allows users to create all of their own categories and the data model adapts to accomodate however users would like to use the sytem. There is a built in security and user management area where administrators and moderators have different permissions to modify content and change structure categories that users can use.

Mid Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Website

midvalleythumb.jpgThe Mid Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep website incorporates a content management system so that employees can update all of the site content without knowing how to work on websites. They can also post special deals and communicate with customers. The site uses CSS and XHTML with optimized images for quick download speeds and a sleek look. There is also built in inventory search capabilities that are automatically updated with their vehicle inventory daily. As part of this project I also did in page and out of page search engine optimization to increase traffic.

Mid Valley Auto Database

midvalley.jpgThis is an example of the Mid Valley auto database. This database stores and manages auto listings for a dealership. This is just an example so it only has a page that lists all of the current listings and has a form for adding new listings. The full application uploads and manages multiple images for each listing and has administrative features for updating and deleting. The database used for this application contains all of the tables necessary for managing auto listings for a dealership to put their inventory online. The application uses Java Server Pages and a PostgreSQL or MySQL database. Java form beans are used for handling data securely and AJAX is used for filling in the form with information from the database as the user selects different options on the form such as selecting Acura or BMW will bring up a listing of models to select.

Secret Shopper Database

Secret ShopperThe Secret Shopper application and database was designed for secret shoppers to post evaluations online so that reps and store owners could access site evaluations electronically. The application is written with PHP and SQL and uses a MySQL database. Access is restricted and secured using JavaScript and 128bit encryption algorithms. You can access a prototype version of this application by clicking on the image and entering guest for username and guest for password. The database is fairly complex for a small application like this. AJAX is used to fill in certain forms so people do not need to enter information to post evaluations. An image of the database logical model is included below. (Continue Reading)

Game Tagg

gametagg.jpgGame Tagg was a group project where I worked with a team of three people. The purpose of the project was to create a social bookmarking website prototype for videogames. The application uses JSP to send data to and receive data from a Java program that makes and executes SQL statements to interact with a PostgreSQL database. The project was somewhat large for a basic prototype with over 35 pages and 11 database tables. The different pages used to auto redirect such as when clicking on user home and logging in previously it would automatically go back to user home. This functionality was removed because of web host issues, and registration and everything has been changed to be completely open so users can test out everything.   (Continue Reading)

Auto Search

autosearch.jpgAuto Search is a java based web application that uses Google Base to search for cars. It is a basic application that uses HTML and CSS for presentation and Java Server Pages (JSP) to send data to and receive data from a java application. The user enters a query and a java program takes the query, sends it to Google Base, and returns the results. The user interface then accesses the results and returns them ten at a time.
