Some Examples
BTS Sport
BTS Sport is a simple website built using HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and MySQL as a learning exercise. It is used by some members of BTS staff to keep track of various sporting activities.
I intend to continue to use it as I investigate new technologies and techniques in the future. For example, I am in the process of a re-write using Responsive Web Design principles and PHP MVC design patterns.
I also want to write my first Android and/or Windows 10 apps for it and I will no doubt use it as I explore other modern web techniques such as SASS, Node.js and react.js.
