PHP/MYSQL/AJAX Development Case Study

CASE STUDY – BEST OF US
THE CLIENT
The client is Kerry J. Grinkmeyer, owner of the domain/organization “bestofus.com”.
THE PROBLEM
The client needed to build a comprehensive online database of professionals as well as students, so that end users could search for the most competent professionals (or, best students) in their area.
BENCHMARK SOLUTION
Technoscore used LAMP technology to engineer a site via which end users could search for the best and most succesful professionals as well as students in the US, using an advanced search facility (with several search parameters). End users have the capability to nominate professionals they thought deserved to be on the list, and professionals are given the option to update the listing on the web site.

Users also have the ability to buy items from an online store provided on the web site (which was designed using oscommerce).
Key site features: -
- OScommerce Integration  
- Payment Gateway (Google Checkout) integration
- Customized Search
- Advanced search on over 65,000 records
- Auto approval algorithm for nomination
- Product Gallery
- Batch Upload
- FAQ section
- CMS to manage/update/administer the entire web site
BENEFITS AND ROI
The client is getting plenty of site visits from those who wish to contribute to building the database of professionals, and will also soon start making profit from online certificate sales. All in all, a good investment, and plenty of future potential.
TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED
- Operating System: Linux
- Database: MY-SQL 5.0
- Programming Language: PHP 5.0/AJAX
The site has been built using PHP as the server scripting language and MySQL database.  PHP and MySQL are two leading open-source scripting and database technologies and complement each other very well.  We implemented a highly flexible & robust database using mysql that smoothly handles already millions and constantly increasing online records.

  We have used Advanced AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) extensively in this web application to display search results, record details, etc.

Technoscore has been using AJAX techniques as performance enhancement initiatives for critical functionality of web-applications. Web usability guidelines were strictly followed during development and the interface was made easily navigable through judicious use of AJAX, CSS and HTML controls.
