Hyperdesk

Posted on July 31st, 2008 in PHP by Russ

The hyperdesk site is finally live. It’s been a long road of about eight months of nightly work. Once the client was satisfied that the html(link)/css he wanted was out of my league ( way out of my league ) he had another company set up the html(link) and CSS(link) (Cascading Style Sheets) and start up the javascript.

Their work with mootools was a lot smoother than my work with prototype. :)

The site owes a lot to mootools.net, PEAR and smarty. I went with using the Pear libraries for database access, the Smarty tools for templating and the mootools for javascript. I’ve built a secondary site at hyperdesk themes that’s using the same stuff and also the blueprint css(link) libraries. Once nice thing about building a site for myself ( or to my own standards ) is that while I can say “this is ugly” ( the animation is currently ugly ), I can also say “make this better via the blueprint grid.” and not “move this over 2 pixels, no too far!”
