Apps

Something about my apps

I have studied, learnt and used many programming languages since I am 11 years old. But before, when I was 9, I had already learnt how to create batch scripts (.bat).

Some of the technologies and languages I have had experience with are batch scripts (.bat), QBasic, Visual Basic, x86 ASM, C, C++, C# (.NET), Java, JSP, PHP, JavaScript and so on.

Below you can find some of my apps.


CrossBrowdy
CrossBrowdy

CrossBrowdy is a free and open-source JavaScript framework that allows to create multimedia apps, emulators, game engines and games that will be compatible with any device.

Any software developed with CrossBrowdy should be able to be used in any JavaScript compatible web client (including browser plug-in, add-on, extension, app...) which supports "document.getElementById".

This framework allows any developer to manage easier many different things, such as audio (with Flash fallback, audio pool, etc.), canvas (with DHTML, VML, Flash or Silverlight fallbacks), screen, mouse, keyboard, gamepads, sockets (including PHP proxy fallback), XHR / AJAX (with PHP proxy for cross-domain requests), device sensors (compass / magnetometer, gyroscope, accelerometer, light sensor, proximity sensor...) and many more.

It also includes many basic DOM element manipulations, fallbacks and polyfills as well as integration with Apache Cordova (including PhoneGap, Ionic...), desktop apps (PWA, UWP, NW.js, Atom...), video game consoles, TV sets, smart watches and so on.

CrossBrowdy focuses on cross-browser (including legacy browsers) and cross-platform compatibility. The main target is to allow any app to run in any web client with or without HTML5 compatibility.

SockJS test server on NW.js
Last version: no version - 29th July 2016 (approximately)
SockJS test server on NW.js

Just a simple SockJS server running on Node.js but using NW.js (formerly node-webkit) to provide a simple visual interface for testing purposes.

It comes with a self-extracting single-file binary for Windows 32-bit (using 7zip's SFX) that runs on Windows XP and higher (generated with Web2Executable) but also includes the source code so it can be ported to other platforms supported by NW.js easily.

It can also be found on GitHub: https://github.com/jalbam/sockjs_test_server_nwjs

fake_rest_server - REST server in PHP
Last version: no version - 12th May 2016 (approximately)
fake_rest_server - REST server in PHP

Simple and easy-to-configure REST server made in PHP.

I made it just to create different REST servers very fast for testing purposes.

To add new paths (routes) and methods, the developer just needs to create a new folder structure (folder and subfolders if needed) which represents the route and inside one file per method named [method_desired].php (for example, put.php).

If you do not have a REST client, the server can be tested on any web browser by adding the "debug=1" parameter to the URL as well as the "method" parameter with the method desired (not needed if the method is "GET"), as for example: http://localhost/fake_rest_server/src/index.php/route_1/subroute?method=post&debug=1&username=Joan

It is very easy to extend using PHP language. The code already includes some routes, methods, functions and data (user accounts, etc.) as examples (in the "example" folder) but they can be deleted. The folder "route_1" and all of its content (inside the "src" folder) can also be deleted since it is just an example.

myWeatherForecast

Just a simple test to check how Ember.js framework (MVVM pattern) works.

It just gets the weather from a city given by the user. Uses the RESTful Weather API from OpenWeatherMap.

Apart from Ember.js framework, technologies involved are REST, JSON, Node.js, NPM, Bower, QUnit, PhantomJS, etc.

It can also be found on GitHub (among other projects together): https://github.com/jalbam/misc_test_zone

EASPM123 (Email Anti-Spam 123)
Last version: 1.0 - 10th November 2015 (approximately)
EASPM123 (Email Anti-Spam 123)

An Easy-to-use JavaScript API that protects any email address you want to use in your website from spambots.

It works in any browser with JavaScript support, even old ones (including Internet Explorer 5.0), offers different security options (very configurable) and it is just 2.57 KiB minified. If you want, you can easily configure it to be used with many languages at the same time.

The behaviour can be configured easily through the main (and unique) object the script uses (read the instructions). But if you are lazy, although it would be less safe, you just need to include the .js file in your website and change the class name (or add to the current classes a new one) of the A elements containing the links to the emails (the class name should be "easpm123" by default).

Following the instructions and some guidelines (included inside the package), the email addresses should be human-understandable even when JavaScript is disabled.

If you are tired of being spammed, you should try this little script (with an email address which spambots don't know yet!).

Forbidden to use without keeping the author's name and copyright clauses. Other than that, just use this script freely but never sell it!

It can also be found on GitHub: https://github.com/jalbam/easpm123

Ranking

An app I made when I was doing an internship as a software developer at a company. The internship was part of the study program of "CFGS DAI (Ciclo Formativo de Grado Superior en Desarrollo de Aplicaciones Informáticas)" which is a Software development associate degree equivalent (similar to Foundation degree in the UK, Diploma of Higher Education in Scotland or Higher Certificate in the Republic of Ireland) at IES Baix Camp school in Reus city (Spain).

Our company provided hotels with coin operated computers that the clients could use to play games, visit websites, etc. This program showed a real-time ranking that listed the hotels ordered by their number of clients connected and showed animations for any change that could happen.

The server part was made using PHP, Adobe ColdFusion and mySQL. As for the client part, Adobe Flash and ActionScript was used.

Online shop engine

Powerful online shop engine highly configurable, cross-platform and cross-browser.

Automatically detects JavaScript support. JavaScript is not needed but it is used it in the case it is available (for example, to detect screen resolution so that the PHP engine can know it).

If the admin wants, a lot of very useful data about the client will be sent to the desired email.

It doesn't use any databases at all but just plain text files that have to be edited to be configured. In the case that someone happens to want to use this shop engine, programming knowledge is not necessary at all. Editing text files and placing product images in a certain folder is enough.
