For Peat' Sake

Project Objectives
For Peat’ Sake is a personal project of mine. I saw a need for a specialized whisky reviews website. There were sites on the web in which people recorded their own reviews of whisky, but there wasn’t one which allowed readers to submit their own whisky reviews. Building such a site also allowed me to assign ratings to whisky entirely based on the reviews it was receiving.
My Involvement
As this is an ongoing personal project, it is entirely mine to tinker with. It includes a user signup and authentication component, whisky reviews collection, and a main catalog of whisky to be reviewed. Users can very simply sign up and start reviewing whisky, and readers can easily find reviews of the whisky they’re considering. The site very quickly gained notoriety has become an important resource for whisky drinkers.
I wrote the core software using object oriented PHP5 with a MySQL data model. The front end website is built with XHTML1 and CSS.
