This project was what introduced me deeply into MooTools. It’s actually during this project that I red the “MooTools Essentials” book (twice) and enjoyed the experimentation.
I also had to develop a whole CMS for the client, in the form of an admin panel. Back then, I didn’t really knew what WordPress was capable of. I’m still using the CMS as a stand-alone installation for some clients though. It has proven useful for me since I used this opportunity to develop some script with MooTools.
As part of this CMS, I used for the first time the script “FancyUpload2″ (http://digitarald.de/project/fancyupload/), a cute flash uploader. It had to be included in the Accomplishments’ admin panel, so the administrator can specify the pictures he want to use with each accomplishments.
As you may guess, I did the code part: slicing, integration and PHP coding. Design was made by the company I’m working with, KOK Stratégie.
It was an interesting project and a good way to learn new things. The hardest part of this project must have been the writing and revision of the texts.
This project was completed in november 2009. Since the lauch of the new website, it has generated over 2000 visits, from about 22 countries around the world.
Comme vous vous en douter peut-être, je me suis occupé de faire le côté “code”: découpage, intégration et programmation PHP. Le design fut fait par la compagnie qui m’emploie, <a title=”KOK Stratégie” href=”http://www.kokstrategie.ca” target=”_blank”>KOK Stratégie</a>.
Ce fut vraiment un projet intéressant, bien que la rédaction fut réellement difficile: c’est une site très complet en terme de textes et plusieurs fois il fallut modifier les textes, ajouter et corriger.

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.

Well, thanks!
I can’t say I don’t procrastinate though… I should really publish a new project soon, but I’m working on the English version of this new website… I shall write something as soon as it’s done.
Thanks for your support.
