New project : www.desortie.fr
April 22nd, 2011
I’ve just finished a project I have been working for some time.
It’s an API mash-up about new movie and music releases, the website presents one current page that is refreshed every week.
The page shows a list of movies with a short synopsis and the trailer, a link to ticket booking website. the music section is a list of album arts where the user has the ability to buy the album on Amazon, and if available on the ITMS.
I just wanted to use a domain name that I bought, so I decided to create a little app based on Zend Framework, so for once I can use the framework for a public mainstream project.
I’ve implemented a front end cache, that dumps the page output into cache files. Then I just use thos cached files to drill back on the previous weeks archives. I could have cached every single request to Amazon, iTunes or Allociné with ZF but it was faster to implemented with a simple file system.
It has been nice to write some PHP again, I really miss this language as I’m stuck with stupid Java at work.
The UI is not complete yet, but most of it is there, sorry non-french readers, you will have to use a translator, or learn French
