Primary CEHD sites

These sites are primarily maintained by other college staff, but I make more advanced changes when programming is required. All these sites (except for HLKN) run on the CopyWrite CMS described below.

• College of Education and Human Development
• Dept. of Ed. Administration and Human Resource Development
• Dept. of Educational Psychology
• Dept. of Teaching, Learning and Culture
• Dept. of Heath and Kinesiology

Sites I Maintain

These sites are ones for which I am the primary designer and/or maintainer.

• CEHD Data Portal
• CEHD Technology Services Group (Plone)
• National Space Biomedical Research Institute
• eEmpowerment Zone - continuing education delivery system
• i-Folios - used to manage undergraduate online portfolios
• My Personal Site
• Texas Avenue Baptist Church My church

Primary languages

• Perl (EmbPerl/modperl/Apache)
• PHP
• Java (although not a lot lately)
• tcl (limited use for interacting with SIMS)
• C (from a earlier life)
• Visual Basic (when progammatic pieces needed for MS Access)

Database engines

• PostgreSQL (this is what we use for our major database projects)
• MySQL
• Microsoft Access (primarily as a front end to PostgreSQL and MySQL via ODBC)

Miscellaneous/Minor Technologies

• We use CAS almost exclusively for authentication in our faculty/staff/student applications. Our approach is to use CAS for authentication, we then link UIN/netid with internal databases to populated needed attributes.
• I manage the touch screen kiosk (hardware, software, and content in the lobby of our building)
• We are using AvantGo to manage data transfers from PDAs to our databases as part of the evaluation process for our field-based teacher education programs.

Content Management Systems

• Plone (used for our technology group's web site http://technology.cehd.tamu.edu/)
• CopyWrite (used for our college and departmental web sites)
  • CopyWrite was written by Brazos Valley Design who we contracted with to design our sites
  • The HLKN web site was designed by BVD, but does not run on CopyWrite
