ReBoot
Using a refactored version of the framework powering the "I Love Heartland" website, the "Reboot Fan Site" is a place for fans of the 'Reboot' television show to gather and discuss the first entirely 3D television show. The site has an improved community forum and blog section, as well as a much better designed user homepage.
This site required the migration of all the users from the previous ReBoot.com website. To do this, I wrote several scripts in PHP, which migrated users as well as blog posts and comments. Once the the scripts had been run, over 450 blog posts as well as over 30,000 users had been ported to the new codebase. As many of the users ported to the new system were also accounts used on the current Zeros 2 Heroes website, a remoting system was also setup. If a user signed up, logged in, or changed any of their profile information, those changes also occured on the new website.
The "Reboot Fan Site" showed me how valuable refactoring a codebase can be. Using the lessons learned during the development of the "I Love Heartland" website, I helped the other programmers at Zeros 2 Heros improve the codebase to be more stable, faster, and easier to develop new sites with.
