Web design and programming project
Project: Magazine subscription management
This project was developed for the college course web design and programming. This was my first encounter with developing web applications so it was made for the purpose of learning. Technologies used in this project are: PHP, Smarty, JavaScript, JQuery, HTML, CSS and Ajax.
Interesting thing about developing this project is that every single line of code (PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS) was written in Notepad++. So you can imagine what was like learning all these technologies and manually searching for syntax errors :)
