Fastest time spent creating a CI web application |
(04-27-2022, 04:06 PM)php_rocs Wrote: I'LL GO FIRST: I was hired by a company to help a customer with a 10+ year old PHP web application. It was a team of 4 (Project Manager, SA, DB and Full Stack Developer-me). Although the customer was nice they had no trust in what the company had promised them because everyone else who had tried to rewrite the system failed. The system worked but it had many quirky parts to it. For example, the reports always printed out differently based on what computer and printer was being used by the users, they had no automated way of determining how much input was being done by the users of the system. and the list goes on. The system was not using a PHP framework, developed with PHP 5.x and looked like it was designed from the eighties. I also found out that the customer was going to determine if they were going to renew the contract which was up for recompete January of the following year. Basically, I had 6 months to deliver a new system and convince the customer to renew the contract...........Well.......CI 3.x came to the rescue. In the end I was able to develop a new system using an open source bootstrap admin theme (Gentelella), CI 3.x, upgrade PHP 5.x to 7.x, convert all reports to PDF, WOW the customer, migrate the prototype to Production ready in 4 MONTHS (I worked like crazy). The customer renewed the contract and became a believer. At the end of the story you presented a gift to the unbeliever. I am wondering why you still used CI3 in your project as per the story. |
