Highlights
The design approach was built around PHP 5 and MySQL SERVER 5 due to the social networking nature of the website. In order to most effectively access the database in an object-oriented context, an interface translating the object logic to the relational logic was used to communicate with the relational databases in an object-oriented manner. An intermediary abstraction layer was created for accessing data from the database. Triggers, Store Procedures and Custom MySQL functions were used only for complex calculation of data from multiple tables and heavy conditional syntax were utilized to ensure a smooth performance of the website. The UI layer was kept free of any business logic with images, applications and data being called from their respective servers. Web usability guidelines were strictly followed during development and the interface was made easily navigable through judicious use of AJAX, CSS3 and HTML5 controls. The site was developed and fully functional within a span of 5 months.
