My first project with CakePHP and Scriptaculous framework

Jump to Comments

Recently I completed a project named “MSc Online Application”. I got freedom to choose tools for that project. Last six months I did some project using raw PHP. In this time I thought I have to do some R&D with PHP framework and also JS framework. So I selected CakePHP and Scriptaculos for my “Msc Online Application” project. An interesting thing is that I assigned that project after press advertisement is waiting for release. Means our management sent advertisement to print media and they fixed the publishing Date. At that time I didn’t know any thing about CakePHP and Scriptaculous Lib.  So think how much brave I am!!    I had only 7 days to implement that project skeleton and add functionality on user module. I was take that challenge and decided that I have to use those frame work. Honestly speaking I love this type of pressure but unfortunately I didn’t have it frequently. Thanks to Anwar sir for gave me that.   

I just gave you a screen shot of that project “MSc Online Application“.

for demo user of this application : you can use the given information for login to the systems E-mail : “demo” password : “demo”

In brief how this application is working : This is a web based application for MSc prospective student of IUB (SECS). Using this website they could apply for masters program in their interested subject. In the manual process they had been coming at IUB more than 3 times and now instead of manual process, if he/she applies using website they will came at IUB only once. I think this is the first time any university introduces such things in Bangladesh. he he he actually I don’t know is that statement true or not. that’s why IUB is always one step ahead from others. Truly after we had got some phone calls from outside of Dhaka we felt the necessity of this sort of web application. So from now we can also expect a student from abroad  though at present we have some.

Now come to the administrative view. Actually this time we are testing our application after that we are complete our systems process so I didn’t think a lot about admin user. They just monitor how many used is registered in this systems and how many of them applied for MSC program. Lastly I integrated a dynamic PDF in that project by which admin user could process an application for an online user.

if you interested enough to work with frameworks then i think  following links can help you a lot.

• CakePHP Framework 
  • Download CakePHP
  • Manual
  • API
•  Script.aculo.us library
  • Download lib
  • Documentation

I think I learnt a lot to complete that project. I am looking forward for my next project but I don’t know when I get it.
