Safe Your Surf (Group Project):

This project is about Search Engine Optimization, Social Media connections, and Google Webmaster tools. As a team of 6 developers we had to chose a topic for a blog website and each one had to write a post about the Internet and computer security. In order to demonstrate all these trends in web development, the project was created originally in a separate domain: "www.safeyoursurf.com". Due to the expiration issue of this domain (since May 2016), the project was moved to my portfolio.

My role was designing and building the website, writing the contents, and create the blog template for my teammates to paste their posts.

This project is about creating Content Management System (CMS). As a team of 4 developers, we decided to create a website for employees leaves system. The website has three parts: Public Part, where any visitor can see and it contains the login menus. Employees Part, only for employees to manage their leave. Admin Part, for administrators to control and supervise the employee records or data.

My role was to design and develop the front end and make it responsive using CSS3 media queries. For the back-end, build and design the folders structure of the project as an MVC pattern and create the entire navigation system, create the membership credential for employees and Administrators. A user with an administrator account can Add, delete or change any employees records and change the images in slider banner by uploading or removing images from the slide show.

Flash Animation (Adobe Animate)

Please be advised that due to the lack of supporting the swf files, all these flash files have been converted into .mp4 files in order to have them working and run automatically as normal videos. You can learn more about "Adobe Flash Player EOL"

Also notice that these designs are filled with buttons/links and mouse activities like drag and drop to help the user interact with the flash animation and be able to navigate through different scenes/steps/slides in the original flash files. All these controls and actions were initially coded using ActionScript2 then ActionScript3.

Flash Program Showcase

Primary School Flash Design

The following flash files were designed and illustrated using flash only, no Clip Arts had been added except the cell-phone. The purpose was to help and support different grades of primary school students in understanding their subjects. As a web designer, I had to convert some parts of the curriculums into interesting flash animations making the learning process more enjoyable for students.

Case Studies:

Case 1: PHPStorm Laravel Configuration

PHPStrom is considered one of the famous and most commonly used IDE for PHP developers beside NetBeans and Sublime. We can take the full advantage of this IDE when creating Web Applications using Laravel PHP Framework. As a default PHPStorm is not shipped with Laravel features support or plug-in installed.

In this article I am going to show you how to install Laravel plug-in for PHPStorm after downloading Barry vd. Heuvel code in two main steps. Notice that this article assumes that you already had installed the required package to run a Laravel project on your local server like composer and Laravel files, if you need more information you can visit Laravel Installation page.

Stage 1:

Step 1:

In your CMD and by using composer, copy the following line from barryvdh's GitHub page and paste it into the command prompt, or just type it:

composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper

You can also use PHPStorm Terminal window (at the bottom of the IDE) to run the composer or Laravel Artisan commands

Step 2:

After creating a new PHP project (contains the initial Laravel folders and files), copy the following line of code from the same page: Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider::class, Then using PHPStorm you need to navigate to the wanted file:

Project Root >> config >> app.php

After opening the app.php file, search for providers array: 'providers' => [...

paste your copied line after 'Illuminate\View\ViewServiceProvider',

'Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider::class',

Step 3:

using CMD or PHPStorm window run the command:

php artisan ide-helper:generate

Stage 2:

After finishing all the steps in stage 1, you should be ready to install Laravel 5 plug-in

Goto to File Menu >> Settings (CTRL+ALT+S for new PHPStrom versions or Alt+F7 for old versions):

PHPStorm IDE Settings window

From the left pane select Plugins category, then in the search box search for laravel

PHPStorm IDE Plugins Cetegory Search

you will see Laravel Plugin highlighted, you can click install now, and then Restart the IDE to complete the installation of the plugin

PHPStorm IDE Laravel Plugin Option

For more details you can visit Laravel Development using PhpStorm

Case 2: CodeIgniter (Removing index file)

When using CI (PHP Framework), you will notice that CI includes index.php in the URL for any link to any file. When you search for this issue by typing: “ci remove index.php from url”, you will see the link to Ellislab user guide that describes how to fix or solve this issue as shown in the image below:

CodeIgniter URL

Now the explanation is very simple and clear, but unfortunately is not complete! In this post I will try to show you what I did to get my project links to work without including index.php in the URL.

Step1:

When you first install CI, you will notice the .htaccess file is inside sub folder called “Application”. You need to move it (.htaccess) to the root folder of your project. For example, if your CI website is inside a sub folder named "myproject": www.mywebsite.com/myproject, .httaccess has to be inside myprojet folder (directory).

Step2:

Open .htaccess, clear it then write the following code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /myproject/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

Notice that in the second line of the code, the CI website name is myproject. You need to change it based on your project root folder name.

Step 3:

Open config.php file here is the path for this file:

Myproject/application/config/config.php

First:

You will see the following comment plus $config['base_url']

// the config[base url] file is the root folder name and anything before that:

Change the value of $config['base_url'] to:

For localhost (on your pc):
$config['base_url'] = ‘http://localhost/myproject/’;

For your online server:
$config['base_url'] = ‘http://www.mydomain.com/myproject/’;

Second:

In the same file (config.php), you will see the line: $config['index_page'] = ‘index.php’;

Remove the index.php as shown below:

$config['index_page'] = ”;

Step4:

I assume you have your main navigation links inside php template file named header, navigation, or any name you chose. You need to change the links in your main nav to look like this:

<li><a href=”<?php echo base_url();?>mainsite/home”>home</a></li>

mainsite is your main controller name
home is the function name inside your mainsite controller that load home page from the view folder

About Me

About Anmar Jarjees

My Picture: Anmar JarjeesMy first job offer after finishing my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Information Systems was a Computer Technician. I enjoyed troubleshooting, fixing software with hardware issues, plus building desktop computers from scratch and LAN (Local Area Network) installation. Then I worked in design fields (Print and Web Design) so I had to teach myself the essential graphic design applications and the required languages for Web (front-end) Development.

My experience in different computer fields such as Hardware, Software, Graphic, and Web Design gave me the opportunity to work part-time as a computer instructor for a non-profit organization and practicing all these fields the following year after my arrival in Canada.

Then I followed my passion to be a specialist in the web development field because it combines two skills: design and programming. That was one of the main reasons that made me joined the Web Design and Development Certificate Program at Ryerson University.

Although my experience regarding back-end web development was initially started with PHP at Ryerson University, I wanted to learn more about the .NET programming and framework so I also joined Microsoft .NET certificate program at Centennial College.

I can imagine that using PHP or ASP.NET/C# to build web applications is like playing music using a piano or a workstation synthesizer! So, with PHP, developers will depend on their pure coding skills, while ASP.NET/C# developers need to learn also all the bells and whistles that come with the .NET framework.

Currently, I am working as a college instructor for Canadian Business College, you can check my LinkedIn profile for more details about my education and work experience. Designing and developing something interesting! It gives us the challenge to generate our imagination and keep our knowledge always up to date in this fast-growing and developing field.
