Peter J C Law MEng
I am a graduate of the Department of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton. I remain a member of an initiative to encourage robotics amongst sixth form students called Student Robotics , which I joined while a the university. I was previously their Vice President and then Secretary, while also being Webmaster to the University Catholic Society and Chairman of the University Chaplaincy's Student Council. I developed these pages initially using Windows' Notepad and later the Real-time HTML Editor, HAPEdit and Nvu before finding Notepad2. My (X)HTML knowledge was garnered at first from looking at the source of my tutor's webpages and modding them, before being pointed towards CSS, JavaScript and PHP by Russell Newman among others, and from w3schools. I use this site primarily as a testing ground for code and for storing files and minisites that I find are useful to have hosted, but it could probably use a bit of a cleanout. Towards the end of my university time I rebuilt and maintained a number of society websites, including that for CathSoc. The environment supplied by the University is database-free, though I recently found that you can apply for an Oracle database. The flat-file nature of the default environment lead me to create SquidgyCMS, which provides browser based content management without the need to have more than a basic understanding of HTML or any other web technologies. SquidgyCMS is a combination of code I developed to run this site, as well as the current CathSoc site, and some of my other projects. Through the use of distinct templates and data directories it can serve multiple sites from one codebase. Indeed this site will soon be upgraded to run on SquidgyCMS, but until then you can see what that will look like by visiting the dev install of SquidgyCMS. |
