Pryme Radio Products Website

This is a brand new website for Pryme Radio Products (link). It was designed and coded from scratch. The challenge with this website is the complex product database (products model numbers are generated on the fly based on customer radio model selection), and filling the requirement of searching all compatible products by radio brand and models. Both the front-end and back-end was coded by me using jQuery, PHP, and MySQL. (*Note: IE6 support was dropped during development due to schedule and design concerns)

GiSTEQ Guardian Real-time GPS Tracker – Part 4

The last part of the Real-time tracker project involves building a website (actually 2 – one mobile phone browser version, one desktop browser version) for user to track their device without installing any client software.

After I coded the native PHP interface for accessing the central database (user login, location history…) and the PHP communication API for the trackers, we hired two additional programmers to code the website from my design.

Technical Features

  • Developed a native PHP interface to communicate with the Webservice API via HTTP sockets
  • Created a PHP interface to communication directly with the GPS tracker hardware via HTTP sockets.  It abstracts the complex native hardware commands and turns it into simple function calls for other programmers
  • Coded a PHP implementation of the Douglas-Peucker recursive line simplification algorithm for location history retrieval,  reduces web server loading and traffic, while maintaining the over-all representation of the GPS route
