My Photo Gallery Project

With a new addition to our family, I had an extra motivation in life to pursue my long-sought hobby of photography. I bought a new Canon EOS 60D DSLR Camera to master my skills and capture the innocent and priceless moments of my newborn son Aryaman. Apart from that, I always wanted to have my personal photo galery to share my pictures with family and friends so I designed this gallery from scratch to my custom needs. On and off this project took 2 months to complete and became fully functional before Aryaman was born.

My Movie Catalog Project

What else can I be apart from being a nerd? Yes you guessed it right!!! I am a big time movie buff and movies are my second favorite hobby (first one being web designing). I have a huge collection of movies of my own and I needed a centralized catalog to keep track of and easily search all the movies that I have. So I decided to design an intuitive website to store and browse through my collection. Click here to browse my catalog website.

This is a PHP, MySql and jQuery based online catalog which is completely designed using CSS3 standards. This catalog uses JavaScript and jQuery pretty heavily and all the communication is done using AJAX. To extract and store all the movie information from IMDb.com, I designed a custom web scraping PHP API to grab information from IMDb and store it in MySql database. You can get this free IMDb scraping API in PHP or ASP.net from the lab section.

PHP and ASP.net IMDb Scraping API

For my movie catalog website I had to develop an IMDb scrapig API in PHP to scrap and grab information from IMDb.com. After developing my website I shared this scraper API to everyone in need of it. Later on I converted this API into ASP.net/C# based API.

PHP RottenTomatoes.com Scraping API

Following my IMDb scraping API, a lot of users requested a similar API for RottenTomatoes.com. So on popular demand I designed another scraper to scan movie information from Rotten Tomatoes website.

PHP based Image to HTML5 Canvas converter

HTML5 Canvas is the next big thing in web development because it gives us immense flexibility to draw dynamic graphics using JavaScript. Sometimes you might want to convert your images to HTML5 Canvas to add custom dynamic functionality. For that reason I created this PHP based tool which needs an image input from local machine or url and converts it into JavaScript code to draw on HTML5 Canvas.

Chere here to try out this converter.
