Bagpipe Tuner
|
Completed August 10, 2002
|
 |
Tuning a bagpipe is a long and laborious process. The demand for tools which accurately help this process is very high. This tuner was created on the request for a portable, accurate device which could be brought to and used at piping competitions. It was programmed on Microsoft's PocketPC platform using eMbedded Visual C++ 3.0.

Sacred Heart Prep - College Counseling Site
|
Launched July, 2002
|
 |
This was yet another project for Sacred Heart Preparatory. The college counseling department wanted an easier and more reliable way to relay information to their student at a time when students are being flooded with mail. I was called in to make this site for them. It includes pages which are easy to edit by the people in the department, a searchable calendar, list of scholarships and articles, and administration scripts to edit all the dynamic information.

SHP Registration
|
Launched March 25, 2002
|
|
As the world moves forward and the use of the Internet, more and more institutions are finding how useful online applications can be. This application allows students from Sacred Heart Preparatory to register for their classes online. The program then exports all the requests to a program called MacSchool which deals with the rest of the process. This application was an update of the previous year's system with a much larger emphasis on continual use as well as better, more editable code.

The Heart Beat

Launched September 2000, Relaunched March 2002
|
 |
Created for Sacred Heart Preparatory, this website was recently (March 2002) re-written by Thomas Nourse with an all new code and a much more user-friendly administrative section. New features include easy picture administration with easy upload and selection of pictures whether they be included in articles or the front page. The front page format is also now editable. Instead of forcing one picture and three articles, any combination of those two items and nothing is allowed.

SHPnet
|
Launched January 7, 2002
|
 |
This project was done for my school and is an online class management system. It provides teachers with an easy to use set of administrative tools that allows them to post all of their class information online, including homework, announcements, handouts, and links. The public version of the site allows access to students, parents, and anyone who wants, to view all of the information the teachers have posted. These types of systems have become more and more popular in some high schools and most colleges in the United States and Sacred Heart Prep has jumped on that wave.
