Profiles is a small accounting firm based in Southsea Portsmouth. The owner of the company hired me to increase her customer base with a series of promotions. I was tasked with branding the company and new logo, which was created in Photoshop to be used in all print work and bussiness cards. This website was also a push to inform future customers of the services that the company provides and a method of getting in contact. The website is power by wordpress, which makes it extremely easy for the owner to add new content and update pages.  This site is current administratored and hosted by me, leaving all the techinical worried out of the customers hands leaving them with a professional looking website.

DIP-SNAP (DIstributed Portsmouth Social Networking APplication) is a social networking site  with the aim to provide a simple way for people to communicate with each other and make new friends. The DIP-SNAP owners wanted the system to consist of two main components, a client and a server. The client is a web application will provide users with a web interface to the social networking site which users will be able to access via their web browsers. The server is the backbone of the system and stores the user profiles and passes information between users. Multiple servers were used which will allow the system to cope with heavy processing load and crashes on individual servers.

The system was written using Java and RMI so that each server could be run on any platform. The Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) system allows an object running in one Java virtual machine to invoke methods on an object running in another Java virtual machine. RMI provides for remote communication between programs written in the Java programming language.Each server communicated with each, keeping different MySQL servers up to date with each other. The system used a system of locks to mean that the data wasn’t overwritten. New servers could be added, easily, with new servers automatically getting a copy of the database installed.
