Site Update! | | I have made some improvements to the website! | | I spent some time coding up some new features for the website today. When navigating the gallery, there are now links on the full-size-image pages that allow you to go directly to the next fill size image, without going back to the main gallery page. Images also display links related articles below them now. Overall, this should make the site more easily navigatable. | | | This site is driven by a database behind the scenes, which allows me to quickly add new images and articles to the site. The content is then automatically displayed on the gallery, or article pages, and the latest items are automatically displayed on the home page. For those interested in the technical aspects of the site, it acts as a simple content management system. I am using PHP with a MySQL database. Images are uploaded via FTP manually. To add images to the database, I built a page that automatically shows me any images that are not in the database, and starts a form that I complete with the apropriate metadata. For articles I use a simple insertion form to the database, and I can reference images by using the first part of the filename (shortname) which is the primary key in the images table in the database.
\r\nWhen it comes to programming, my preference, and greater interest is programming in the .net framework, primarily in C#. I"ve done this site using PHP simply because it was made easily available to me on this server, which I have online for free through a friend. When it comes to more major application development, .net is where I am trying to focus my efforts currently. My online portfolio is available at twinharbor.com | | | | | | | | |
