Previous version: Salaah Times Windows Gadget

Info

All Muslim’s are obligated to offer 5 daily prayers (Salaah) during specific times of the day. This was originally developed as a Windows Sidebar Gadget to aid in meeting this obligation in 2011 (using JavaScript, XHTML & CSS), but it was rewritten as a XAML-based, C#, widget-like app, so I could learn more XAML (& LINQ). A companion converter app provides an XML prayer timetable for this app to visually display. It is currently being updated to use the MVVM design pattern.

For TV series I am interested in, it displays the episodes showing on any day. Its data is stored in an XML file, which I manually update as TV series are announced, start/end, go on break, etc.

Other Version(s)

Info

I developed this experimental, fast & flexible, XML-based CMS. When a user’s web browser requested a webpage, an ASP.NET web app would run an XSLT template, while passing it parameter values (taken from the query string). This XSLT template would generate the XHTML output from XML, based on the parameter values, and send it to the web browser. This was a successor to my portfolio tool.

Output Documents

  • This HTML file was output by my Timetable XSLT stylesheet
  • This PDF file was created using FOP, using the XSL-FO output by my NFL Standings XSLT stylesheet

Info

The assignment required me to develop several XSLT stylesheets and run them on multiple XML documents. The stylesheets:

  • Transformed class timetable XML data from my DTD to lecturer’s DTD, and vice-versa
  • Produced NFL Standings for week 10 by adding the results of week 10 (provided by lecturer) to my week 9 standings (& then repeated for week 11)
  • Converted my class timetables to XHTML (for web) & the NFL Standings to PDF (for print, via FOP)
