TextSwap
TextSwap is a web application that connects people who would like to trade books. It is targeted at college students, but is useful for anyone looking to trade their books. Users tell the system which books they have and which books they want, and the application does the rest. It can facilitate complex trades between multiple users, and carries all of the parties involved through the entire trading process.
This application is currently evolving in development, as we are in the process of moving it over to Ruby on Rails. We are looking to launch it under a new name in 2010.
Technologies used: CakePHP (a Ruby on Rails-like framework for PHP), PHP, MySQL, XHTML, CSS, jQuery
