After a week of frantic, Red Bull and Relentless -induced coding and writing, my dissertation is complete. 9,500 words of write-up and 14,500 (ish) lines of PHP, SQL, XHTML and CSS. I will never, ever leave anything to the last minute again. Actually, that's a lie, but I'll never do it with anything this big!

The overall system is a distributable web-based resource booking system, mainly aimed at schools/colleges/unis but it's customisable enough to be used in pretty much any environment. Admin users can create slots, locations, categories and resources and then users can create bookings.

Anyway, as it's a distributable project (released under the Mozilla Public License), if anyone can actually use the project, let me know and I'll get a copy to you. Only requirements are a database server and an LDAP (or Microsoft Active Directory) server, but most networks should have these. I've only tested the app with OpenLDAP and MySQL/PostgreSQL, but in theory it should work on other platforms.

I know hardly anyone here will be able to test the system personally, but feel free to suggest it to bosses, managers etc. I'll be getting a full-featured homepage running in the next week or so.

Cheers!

Yep, what he said.

Kinda knew I'd get that reaction, but worth a shot anyway

It could be used as a webstore, or a ticket booking thing. Which would be marvellous if Bigcartel didn't exist.
