ClassifiedsPH is one of our baby projects, and is a Philippine classifieds site. It started out as your classic buy/sell UI with the table format showing off the ads per category.

My co-programmer, however, had a stroke of genius recreating the UI to have the site mimic the newspaper-style format for classifieds, of course, with added functionalities that the newspaper cannot provide; for instance, searching. You can view the newest look at our classifieds site, http://www.classifiedsph.com

We also decided to give this site a Web 2.0-based front-end, to remove the hassles of page redirect and to provide a more user-friendly interface. One of our favorite features is the preview screen which you see when you post an ad in our site. While typing the details of the ad, you can see a preview of how the ad will look like once it is posted, on the right side of the screen. This is updated as you type in your text fields, done by the wonders of AJAX.

We still have quite a lot of features up our sleeves to make classifiedsPH more than just your ordinary Philippine classifieds site. Stay tuned for more updates, and more tidbits about how the site was programmed.

My first post for the blog! The title brings me back to fond memories of College life as a Computer Science major student, where my teachers had us create our very first program - which basically just printed out Hello World. As a total newbie to the whole field, I was already quite amazed. Later on, however, I went from amazed to stressed out, when I realized just how complex programming could be, that I had contemplated to even change my major. When I decided to stick it out, I vowed never to program again or work as a programmer.

Here I am now, years after graduation and programming. Funny thing is, I’m happy about it and I thank myself for being too lazy to sign those forms for shifting majors. I’ve gone from amazed to stressed to amazed again.

This blog will be a large pot of alphabet soup of words about programming, arts, and the media, which I hope will amuse you somehow
