Musiclink

May 2008

Music Link is a branch of Rockparty which, among other things, operates the Hultsfred festival. They were in need of a calendar module.

Musiclink is a web agenncy located in Hultsfred, Sweden. Their customers where in need of a calendar function for their web sites. Me, Jesper Trulsson and Erik Wadman made this calendar function as a part of our master thesis.

The final calendar is based on the .Net calendar and can be run on Umbraco 3 web sites. The calendar can be installed as an Umbraco package.

Techniques:

  • XHTML
  • CSS
  • XSLT
  • ASP.NET
  • Umbraco

Umbrico

May 2008

A Breakout clone made in flash by me and Sebastian Eliasson.

The game is written in Actionscript 3 and gets the level information from a XML file. The advantage of creating levels this way is that you can make an interface in xhtml and a server side language where the user can make his own levels. We didn't do anything like that but we goofed around a lot in notepad and made a couple of fun levels.

We wrote a function wich generated random clouds so every cloud drifting around in the game is unique. At the time we made this game i was working a lot with Umbraco, a CMS only appriciated by me. So to tease the non believers a bit we named the game Umbrico. I also changed the password to the Umbraco development server to "ILoveUmbraco" so every time they hade to logon they where confronted by a logical dilemma.

We made all visual stuff in flash and all the coding in flex builder.

Homevision / Videomonitor

February 2008

Homevision and Videomonitor are two paper magazines driven from Kalmar, Sweden. They needed new web sites with CMS.

One of the slightly larger projects in school was to work against a sharp customer. We got assigned to make two websites and an associated management systems (CMS). I was fortunate to work with four very talented and enterprising people:

Alex Radsby ran the design piece and made both the websites and the CMS very beautiful. He was also very particular that the code would be as neat as the design which resulted in an object-oriented and well commented code. All of the group had been quite strong and straggly wills so except to be a efficient coder was Camilla Strömholm also good at bending our wills in the same direction (read "good project leader"). Marcus Wennerberg was the labourer. You only had to point him in a direction and he was impossible to stop.

Techniques:

  • PHP
  • MySQL
  • Javascript
  • CSS
