I added a nice database-backed photo gallery using only javascript on the browser side for Henry Levine Design.  There was an existing web site, and I was able to integrate a full CakePHP application into the existing site.  This way, the photos and information about them could be manipulated using an administrative web interface on the back end.

Even though the photo gallery uses fade techniques usually only found in Flash movies, this site uses scriptaculous for its visual effects.

The Texas Medical Center in Houston is the world’s largest medical center. I write this application using CakePHP with a heavy emphasis on the Google Maps API.

There is a full back-end administrative interface where users can edit destination information, upload building footprints and even re-route the driving directions provided by Google. As you can see when you pull up a destination, the building as well as any surrounding parking garages are overlayed onto the map.

I used the ExtInfoWindow to style the popup window and the ExtMapTypeControl to provide the traffic view. Finally, the wonderfully compact iBox was used for the photo and email overlays.

This was a very long project, but I had a lot of fun working on it.
