proVanceTek recently released http://wonkatickets.com/ for Hilliard Bradley High School Theatre Department. The goal was to have a quickly launched, user-friendly website where patrons could purchase tickets. The site makes use of PayPal to process credit card transactions or patrons can even make their purchase using the available balance in their PayPal account.

In addition to the publicly available main section of the site, there's also a password protected area where staff can "sell" tickets to students for the in-school performance. This section collects the student's first name, last name, and student id and adds it to a database. From the database, the data will be exported as a CSV file for the school's attendance office for their record. We're also working on a system that will be used for admission to the in-school performance where each student's student id barcode will be scanned as they enter the performance and the data will be added to the database in context of whether or not the student who purchased a ticket actually showed up to the performance.

"SubEthaEdit is a powerful and lean text editor. And it's the only collaborative one that is a joy to use. By combining the ease of Bonjour with the world's best text collaboration engine, it makes working together not only possible but even fun…"

SubEthaEdit is a text editor that allows you to edit all different types of files including TXT, HTML, PHP, C++, and more! Not only does it allow you to edit these files it also allows you to do collaborative editing with others over your local area network.

When coding you have the option of using the built in modes (or languages) and with each language there are different syntax colors. There's a growing number of mode releases that other users contribute. If needed you are able to create your own modes.

One of my favorite features included is the ability to auto complete functions and previously entered text. It also has a common feature that most other editors have where it recognizes that you have created a function or class and allows you to select them from a list, which is particularly nice when you have thousands of lines of code.

After using SubEthaEdit for the past year, I can honestly say that I do not know what I would do with out it. As a Computer Science Major I use it whenever I am programming. I use it for my PHP development, C++, JAVA, etc.

What does the semantic web offer my site? This is a question I hear all to often. Much of the talk about the semantic web, one of the new hot buzz words, deals with its integration into popular tools such as drupal or the power it will provide when every one's doing it. As someone building sites for clients before the semantic web is in the mainstream it can be easy to dismiss the technology for the time being. Let's look into why it's good to embrace the semantic web now in some practical ways.

What The Semantic Web Means To Your Site Now

Metadata is a something that's been around for a long time. It's in our Microsoft word documents, we often store it in XML, and it helps us better describe what ever it is we are working on. What if your metadata and the metadata of others could work for you?

Imagine someone is viewing a piece of content on your site and you have related content based on the keywords used in the content but, you didn't have to fill in the keywords. They were provided by a smart engine that reads you text and finds them. Or, you have some content about a company and information about that company is displayed in a sidebar automatically based on information from other services. This is what we can do with the semantic web today.

On the flip side, when we have content about sites, companies, services, or other things we want to share them with others. Embracing the semantic web allows use to do that in a way that machines can read, something many websites struggle with. Remember that Google, Yahoo, and search engines are machines trying to read our sites.

proVanceTek just completed a wedding website project for Chris and Joellen Carpenter. The website is a elegant, simple, static HTML design. The website is media heavy, including hundreds of photos and various videos.

We also provided video production services for the client, by 1) creating a video montage from wedding photos set to licensed music and 2) taking video from two camera sources that the client provided from the wedding ceremony and cutting together a quick wedding ceremony video. The website, including the videos, was turned around within twenty four hours of the wedding so that non-local family and friends who were unable to attend could quickly have plenty of multimedia to view; much of the website and many of the photos were live within hours of the ceremony.

Regarding the website's video player technology, the client needed an inexpensive solution to include online video within the website. proVanceTek incorporated the videos into the website using the open source version of a Flash video player called Flowplayer. The solution was fast, free, and accomplished what the client wanted. The only real caveat is that free version watermarks the video when in full screen mode.

proVanceTek recently released a new spiffily designed static HTML website for Dr. Mary Nyangweso Wangila of East Carolina University. Dr. Wangila is a Religious Studies professor at the Greenville, NC located university and has been the recipient of a number of prestigious recognitions.

proVanceTek collaborated with Mary to finalize a design that achieved her needs technically and met her goals esthetically. The color scheme and layout came in the form of suggestions directly from the client and from there proVanceTek delivered a professional, slick design that continues to impress the client.

Because we receive phone calls for estimates soo frequently, we finally decided to provide online pricing for a number of common requests that we receive. In the web development section of our website, you will find pricing for student resume pages and portfolio websites, faculty vitae pages and portfolio websites, and small business homepages and content managed websites.
