A portfolio of sites and web applications I've worked on.
Company Intranets
The development of an e-learning application installed on closed company intranets or hosted behind user-level authentication, rather than the public internet. Depending on the modules purchased, site content can run to several thousand pages in several different languages. The design is bespoke to each client, but the underlying CMS/application remains consistent across all installations. The system was developed for the Desktop Solutions division of the .

The subject matter of the content is semi-technical, aimed primarily at office users in the respective companies. Topics covered include the different versions of the Microsoft Windows Operating System, the use of Microsoft Office including Word, Powerpoint and Excel. Lotus Notes, Sharepoint and more bespoke subjects such as the NHS mail system.
Features of the system include:
Layered authentication system, with administrators, developers, content writers, users and guests. Users are tracked across the application.
Content management system (CMS) that allows users with "content writing" privileges to create and edit pages, including the uploading of images and instructional flash videos. A history of all edits are maintained by the system, enabling the user to revert to an earlier version if required. All changes are recorded so that they can be later synchronised (and backed up) to an offline system. This allows content writers to work remotely.
During development the state of pages can be logged and development notes can be made against individual pages. With multiple content writers working on the system, the progress/completeness of the system can be easily viewed as a single percentage.
The content is fully searchable, with different weights given to titles, keywords and body content. All searches are logged so as to produce relevant statistical reports.
A ratings module allows end users to rate pages and leave comments.
Whilst the application normally runs server-side using PHP and MySQL, the entire site can be downloaded and run statically offline. Several of the sites features, including the search module have been developed as both a server-side PHP version and a client-side JavaScript-only version.
Visitor statistics module tracks users and generates various reports. Reports can be configured to automatically run periodically using CRON and sent via email.
A "course module" enables users with sufficient privileges to build courses that consist of a subset of the available pages on the system. Users and/or groups can then be assigned a course that they must follow in a specific order. Pages viewed during the course are marked as read so they can stop and resume the course at a later date.
