About VirgenTech.com
VirgenTech.com is my personal website and was developed as a technical blog to document my experiences with PHP5/Javascript as well as a code repository for sharing.
This website was built using Zend Framework 1.10.0 and makes use of the following conventions:
- Custom Data Mapper solution, complete with an Identity Map and lazy-loading collections/references.
- Unit-tested domain entities and collections.
- "Fat Model / Thin Controller" design.
- Progressive enhancement allowing javascript-enabled users to get enhancements (like Ajax) while not compromising non-javascript users.
I completed the bulk of this website (the blog and code sections) in about a month and am continuing to add new features on a regular basis.
The layout/design was done using Paint Shop Pro and CSS.
