Fairbanks Locations
Fairbanks Locations is a commercial real-estate listing website written in Ruby on Rails and is still under development. The application allows users to add listings with a shopping cart style interface. Writing a full eCommerce application from scratch has been a good experience for me.
The original project was written in PHP and used a table-based layout. The code base (as well as the HTML) was so messy that I am completely rewriting it. I am using Ruby on Rails in order to add more functionality and change flow while preserving a maintainable and tested application. Because of the scope of the project, I hired a friend to re-implement the layout and visual design with CSS.

Working on this application has given me an opportunity to exercise my Ruby on Rails skills and branch out to new things such as using active merchant and PayPal Website Payments Pro to accept and process credit cards. Some features of the unfinished site include: AJAX for a smooth user experience, shopping cart like system to buy listings and banner ads, the ability to save listings and save searches, and much more.
