Web Intersect is a deft combination of free open source social software, and a free education in webmastery.

Web Intersect's Programming

Web Intersect has been built using PHP for logic and dynamics, MySQL Databases for data storage and quick data access, HTML and CSS for rendering things to page, and a touch of jQuery and Javascript where needed. All of those are open source non-proprietory technologies.

Versions prior to 1.3 contain a Flash Actionscript 3.0 header in place that had the same logic as the HTML header. This was before Adam decided to make Web Intersect an official open source project.

All of the Source Code and Tutorials are Free!

Free free free... yes everything is free... just keep the copyrights and licenses in place. A cool application and a high dollar education all for free. This will never happen again in human history folks.

Your Skill Level

Individuals that would like to use the base system as it is do not have to know much about programming at all, they just need FTP access to their website server online and know how to create MySQL databases on their server. Those that have some experience with HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL will have an easier time adding to and altering things.

Your Server and Testing Ground

• Build and test online using FTP on the live server the site is to operate on. Don't test in WAMP, LAMP, or XAMPP.
• Host it on a Apache Linux PHP Enabled server.
You can build and test locally using WAMP, LAMP, or XAMPP, but some things may not work or complications may arise when you finally place the full application onto the live server online to go live. Just do it all live online.

Tools You Will Need To Modify Your System

• A good HTML text editor. Adam recommends using Dreamweaver 8 or higher.
• A tested PHP enabled server(PHP 4.2 or higher)
• One free MySQL database(MySQL 4.0 or higher)created on the PHP enabled server.
If using the Flash Header Version: You will need Flash Authoring CS3 or higher.

A Note About Web Intersect In Production

This system is a production website. Meaning it is in production and not optimized for live website usage. Much of the source code has a lot of whitespace for human reading and allowing people to change things more easily. There may be security holes and bugs that surface as the system is used and tested. In new versions that are released we will tend to fix bugs that have appeared in earlier versions.

Web Intersect is a system that is now fueled by contributors and always being added to.
