Some of my past projects (web and SW development)

web projects (1999-2005)

SmartWebsoft web page, a .NET/WebForms project. "CodeBehind" in form of a DLL was originally compiled for .NET 1.0 environment. A Static HTML page (without functional webforms code) is available here. Part of the original JavaScript code dealt with cross-browser issues. At that time (year 2002), typical approach was developing a customized presentation layer for each supported browser and redirect user accordingly: if (Request.Browser.Browser == "IE") {IE_version} else {Netscape_version}             An early HTML/CSS demo web page template (prior frameworks era).           Personal income tax calculator (available here) by province (Canada), based on 2004 tax rates. Coded in JavaScript (client side only, no server side scripting). Details regarding canadian tax rules can be found at taxtips web site ( Personal income tax  - CPP contribution rates  - EI premium rates). This site was designed to promote SMART Car application (a shareware project).           An example of dynamic menu, as was popular in 2002: technique used is called a Dynamic HTML, DHTML/JavaScript code can be reviewed here.           Photo album (can be seen here), a "1998 style" web design, done in PHP. In order to make old code working, I had to do make some adjustments: register_globals feature is deprecated, case-sensitivity configuration, character encoding (old charset was windows-1250).           Career manager was a shareware program coded in Delphi 5. I created a web site in PHP (2002 version). A whole web was redesigned in 2004 and migrated to ASP.NET/WebForms platform. A mirror (HTML version only) is available here. as a payment gateway was used a regsoft(dot)net service (discontinued), integration with PayPal account was tested later; both payment solutions are PCI compliant. 2018 update: I found an old ASP.NET webForms code. I converted it to the .NET framework 3.5. You can give it a try here.(forms are functional)           Intranet (web-based, behind firewall, managed clients/desktops) reporting solution using Office Web Components (OWC), namely Pivot table connected to Microsft Analysis Services (SSAS) data source: JScript front-end, an approach called hypertext components (.htc) was used, both OWC and .htc are now considered obsolete by Microsoft.

Miscellaneous web-related notes/techniques:

• Intranet reporting portal (2004): a template-based development (using server side includes), webFocus platform used for server side scripting, MS SQL 2000 database;
• technology learning&evaluation exercise (2012) based on a XAMPP package; a PHP/MySQL-based webpage hosted on a local computer
   - part of the PHP code was to start external programs (EXE files) from within Apache/PHP process space controlled by a front-end interface
  

Windows programming (Delphi 5/win32 applications, 1999-2005)

• Career manager was a shareware project (installer for a BDE environment and application can be downloaded here),
• Car agenda (original name was SMARTCar) application (uses a third-party DBF library),
• SalesPro (Customer communication) application; two alternatives for data storage: 1. BDE/Paradox (shared files) or 2. Firebird (client/server),
• Delphi coding notes, application and visual components examples.
