About 'dreams...'
Hi there! Welcome to 'dreams...', my personal website. This is the place
to showcase my photography, and other works. 'dreams...' is completely
hand-written (except few open-source codes used). The whole website has
been designed and developed by myself.
The journey
It was long back in 2007, when I first decided to build a personal
website for me. But due to various reasons, I could not develop it
at that time. Then after 2 years, in 2009, I again started working
on designing and developing my website. It took two months to
develop a very simple website. And then finally, in August 2009, my
dream came true; I launched my website in internet. This old version
can still be seen here.
The rework
In May 2010, I again decided to rework on my website and create
something better. I had two options – 1. use any available
CMS/templates (like Joomla, Wordpress, etc.), or 2. write the
codes by myself. I chose the second option. In the past one year I have
learned few web-technologies like PHP, AJAX, JQuery, MVC
architecture, etc. So re-creating 'dreams...' was really fun and
enjoyable. Apart from the public website, 'dreams...' has got an
admin module, which is the admin-console for my website, designed
and developed by me. The last two and half months have really been
a nice experience. Coming late from office, have quick dinner, make
one or two phone calls, and then start the most exciting part of
the day... working on the 'dreams...'.
And after a 80 man-hours of effort, it’s ready to be published.
Best viewed in
The website has been developed and tested in IE 7+, Chrome 5,
Firefox 3.5+; and works fine in these browsers. However, if
you find any discrepancy/bug/issue while viewing the website,
please spare a minute to drop me an
email.
I’ll try to fix it as soon as possible.
Thanks for visiting 'dreams...'.
