After a few weeks working on our project, it is finally complete. If you don’t know what the project was, click here to find out. Within the project, my role was to prepare the back-end: database, web services, and data processing. We used PHP with CodeIgniter as the framework and MySQL as the database for the website. Other than creating the back-end, I also need to rework the front end to embed my PHP code into it to display some information. CodeIgniter is very new to me, so I needed some time to adjust to the new environment. But after getting the hang of it, everything was relatively faster than developing without framework. Most functions are already provided. The most important thing is, even the shopping cart feature is already provided in CodeIgniter! That saves me a lot of time for this project.

Should you need the source code for this project, you can find it here.

You can also watch a preview video of the website to see what it looks like.

The final project for Scripting Languages course is to create an e-commerce website out of a static website created using only HTML and CSS. This is a team project and this time I am teaming up with Michael Ferikson and Timothy Viandy. Our task is to augment the website with the aid of PHP and MySQL in order to make it dynamic. There are many changes and addition to be made, such as:

• Creating a database
• Creating a Content Management System
• Adding “Add to Cart” function
• Remaking the web interface to add interactivity

We are using several e-commerce websites as our guide in developing the website: Tokopedia, Elevenia, OLX, and Freelancer. We use CodeIgniter as our PHP framework to ease the process of development and to ensure code readability and standards among teammates. I will be in charge of developing the web services and help with the design if needed. Our project time frame is 7 weeks starting from the date of this post.

We have also planned the tasks over the weeks.

Week 1

• Gather and document user requirements
