ETSU Faculty Activities System

The Faculty Activities System (FAS) is an ongoing graduate capstone project at East Tennessee State University.

I spent 80 hours during the summer of 2008 researching the XForms standard and creating the initial prototype, finishing the initial Instruction category. Since then, I have worked with a growing team of individuals to expand that work into a full phase-0 prototype which consists of around 90 unique pages across 7 categories, all using complex XForms controls and a massive backing taxonomy that describes faculty activites for all colleges and departments at ETSU.

During this development process, I created several awk and sed scripts to automate changes to our supporting schema files and automate changes to the prototype.

ACM at ETSU This website was created for the local Association for Computing Machinery chapter at East Tennessee State University. The chapter wanted a site where they could keep people informed of upcoming events and announcements. My solution provided an events tracking system with event registration as well as an image gallery generator and more.

The site's functionality has evolved into a complete content management system including administration interfaces for the following sections: announcements, events, technology news, image gallery, and mailing list.

RuneGuild.Net This site was created for an online gaming community using Woltlab Burning Board and several custom scripts.

The site administrator wanted a way for the users of the gaming community to be able to easily view and organize community events. My solution provided a means of tracking events and a user-registration system for each event. Each user also has a custom "My Events" section that summarizes events for which they have registered.

I also provided an Image Gallery as well as a Character Tracker section. Each of the custom scripts were integrated into the Woltlab Burning Board user/group validation system. Header and collage graphics were also custom-created for the project.
