Web Application

As a way to learn some ColdFusion basics, in 2003 I decided to implement a project I had been meaning to do for a long time in PHP: A central Bookmark manager. I never envisioned some of the social possibilities that del.icio.us has implemented since, but I was thinking along those lines.

While any web browser worth its salt has a feature for saving favorite URLs, users of more than one computer or browser (Mozilla, MSIE, Lynx, Opera, Home, work, laptop, etc) often find themselves with several different bookmark lists, each one out of sync.

I developed both the interface and the back-end for this component of the Stanlee.net web site, which was the first practical application I wrote using PHP.

The most complex project I developed at the hospital was a PHP/PostgreSQL system for tracking skill competencies for the nursing staff, to replace the paper system that was in use at the time. For each nursing position in each department there’s a list of skills, or "Orientation Tool", that the employee must demonstrate they’re capable of performing. As new employees show they can perform their duties, the appropriate skills on each Orientation Tool are digitally signed by a preceptor.

One of the major uses of the hospital intranet is the organization of the many forms and documents used by the Nursing Staff. Documents are stored Adobe Acrobat PDF format and cataloged for keyword searches by the ht://Dig search engine. Documents are also browseable by category.

The Fund For Women Artists wanted a system that would allow artists to sign up for a free account, and create their own artist profile on the womenarts.org web site, searchable by name, location, or artistic interest. The system was build from scratch using PHP and MySQL, and currently supports more than 800 artist profiles at .

Broadcaster is a module and web service which adds the ability to send batch e-mail messages to preselected groups of constituents in inResonance’s core FileMaker solutions. While the list management and message composition is managed by FileMaker, a web component was required to create unique identifiers for each client as well as track information about each e-mail broadcast:

• Which recipient(s) read a given e-mail
• Which link(s) a recipient followed out of a given e-mail

Clients can access this information in CSV or FMPXMLRESULT format via unique URLs.

FLWFinder was a PQA (Palm Query Application, also known as "Web Clipping Application") for looking up the addresses of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed buildings from any PalmOS handheld with an internet connection. The backend consisted of a set of PHP scripts which in turn accessed a MySQL database.

Notifications is a compenent of inResonance’s Portal Web Services, which allows students who have applied to a school to check the progress of their application via the web, and view their decision letter online on the day decisions are released.

Originally developed for Trinity Pawling School, WebGrades is a web application that allows student grades and comments to be exported from inResonance’s KEYSTONE SIS (Student Information System) to a PHP/MySQL web application via ODBC. Parents can log in and view their students’ grades, and administrators can log in and manage system settings. WebGrades was also deployed for The Harvey School.
