Introduction
Personal Information
I am a software developer with a degree in Computer Science from Texas A&M University
Purpose of the website
I want to become more proficient with php, jQuery, and other web tools and technology. I intend to use this site as a workshop for various ideas I come up with.
Projects
Random ideas that I would like to pursue
Card Games
I believe I can create card games in JavaScript with jQuery to support drag and drop
Solitaire
Classic single player game with fixed stack locations for cards
Play now
Spades
Always been one of my favorites. If I can get the interface working, the game play logic should be fun to code
Task List
There are tons of task lists out there. I want to create one that allows tasks to be cyclical but without a firm schedule. The intention is to use this to prioritize house work that needs to be done. There are times when you just can't get to your daily chores which throws schedules out of whack. Instead of specifying the days things must be done, I want to specify the frequency and the importance. I can then create an algorithm to prioritize the tasks along with an urgency rating. I can even set up a cron job to send a daily email with the top items that must be done.
Media inventory system
A catalog of all the books, movies, music, etc... that exist in your collection. This will have to use a database backend, provide the ability to enter data, search, and export data.
Photo Album
I like photography and I am interested in the various EXIF settings of the photos I have taken. I would like to create a photo album that allows me to capture the EXIF data of my photos and make that searchable. I would like to have the ability to find all the photos I took with a certain camera and a certain lens with a specified shutter speed range.
Samples
As I come up with various code samples, I will add them here
