Integrating Facebook Connect & CodeIgniter
For anyone trying to incorporate Facebook into CodeIgniter, you probably have come across the dreaded invalid session error. In this tutorial, I show how to get past this error. Thanks to Eliot Haughlin for his Facebook CodeIgniter library, which really helped me out.
Attached to the tutorial, I have a zip file with my modified version of Elliot's library and the latest Facebook PHP Client Library. Just drag and drop it into your web app!
uniConnect - Student Networking
uniConnect is a web application that I have been working on for the last few weeks. Its premise is simple: to help university students connect and network with each other.
Although not totally complete, uniConnect already has a range of features. Read and see screenshots by clicking on the links below.
Won 3rd Place at Yahoo! Hack U 2009
The web application uniWall won 3rd place at the Yahoo! HackU 2009 competition amongst 10 groups from UofT and UWaterloo. uniWall is an online community aimed at creating a book exchange for university students buying or selling textbooks.
uniWall was created by myself and my classmate Prashant Viswanathan over a period of only 24 hours (give or take a few!)
Tuition Calculator
Sometimes, really simple tools can be super-useful. For example, this tuition calculator that I made in a few hours. I was getting tired of trying to budget my internship income, and was scared that I was over-spending (I need to save for tuition after all).
So I made this little calculator that takes in my salary and my university rental costs, and spits out how much I can spend per week. Really useful! Really simple.
