Cascade Steel intranet website design and development

The intranet website includes company site and department sites. There are about 10 department sites. (The general layout and look-and-feel were similar to the site www.bli1.com or www.meta4-0.com/bli, in which the left frame was for company's general page, and the top frames were for department pages).

Cascade Steel internet website design and development (www.csrm.com)

See www.csrm.com. Worked as the Web master. The csrm.com online now was my final version. Development included the site layout, contents, logo (worked with an artist), etc. Several pictures followed the design from the parent company. The sales support and customer interaction sections were started but not finished.

Website URL Parser to catch all URLs of a website and store URLs into database

It is a valuable tool to collect online URLs from any website, such as Yahoo. When the root URL of a website (www.xxxx.com) is given, the tool will access the website, read its HTML code and retrieve all the URLs in the entire website. All the retrieved URLs and related information will be saved into a database. This tool was initially developed using www.steellinks.com as test site, which was then with nearly 4000 URLs. It took about half an hour, for example, to download all URLs of the website www.steellinks.com into a local database. (However, some tricks were used so the others cannot download meta4-0.com URLs in the same way.)

Development of a suite of web-based programs to predict rolling force and power in various pass sequences

A set of programs were developed to calculate roll separating force for various pass sequences. The calculations were based on the procedures developed in recent years, which are considered more accurate than the traditional ones. The programming was fully object-oriented, so a parent class was created for common force calculation, and a derived class was created for each pass sequence to handle only those different from the common procedure (e.g. contact area, and sometimes shape factor).

Development of near 200 satellite websites to support the main site

Near 200 satellite websites are under development, such as www.steelengineer.com, to support the main site www.meta4-0.com. A satellite website usually has near 30 pages and focuses on related topics. After that it will link to the main site. About 100 sites are done while the rest are in the process of development.
