For the course "Introduction to Web Technologies" I had to create a blog and an online portfolio. The website had to be built with PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, XHTML and CSS.

There were a few requirements; the website had to be XHTML and CSS valid. When everything was finished we were encouraged to use AJAX where possible. Everyone alse had to implement one unique extra, I choose for an AJAX calendar and an event system. The event system was based on the event system I saw on a few Drupal websites.
