DRT Customer Search


The DRT was the main reason I was hired in Minecom. Minecom was looking for a developer to improve apon the original Access DRT system. I recommended that they transfer there DRT system onto a LAMP based system as they would not require access to view the records and also alot of problems they where having would be fixed by doing this. As an example the customer search contained a tree structure and a customer details section on the same page as the table. I implemented an ajax request to display the customer details for the selected records and also created a search that automatically searched records using a text box that waited for 30 seconds then did an ajax request and return a json recordset. I also used cache_lite to improve performance and setup firephp to debug code. I improved my knowledge of classes and produced code that was organised into specific classes which I reused for each feature of the DRT.
