Rorra’s blog

In the last months, I joined Vaganga, to work in what I believe, the next travel site to buy your touristic packages with an excellent price.
When I joined the company, the source code was being started by an American company called Xillent, and it was a real disaster, I don’t know where they learn to develop websites, but if you want to have a daily post in Daily WTF, be sure to hire them. So I ended rewriting a big part of the code, and luckily, we already released the first version of the web site, and although I have thought (and I’m already working) in migrating all the site to rails, while working to support the current PHP version, the site was released and it’s ready to be used.
Some points to consider to use this site for your next trip :

• It’s cheaper that many other sites, it’s one of the cheapest web sites out there.
• Besides great prices, you can be part of the Vaganga community, with important benefits
• We maintain an history of all your buys, an in little time, we will have discounts for people that buy on the site

For now, the site is working with VAGANGA

During this year, I was working as a developer in a website known as Beacon Street Girls


While working there, I first developed a cool feature by using an api provided by Doink


I think it was a great featured, and while the site was live, we got a lot of videos from the users, but a couple of months ago, because of the financial crisis, the rails site where I was working went down and now they maintain a PHP version of the site.


You can check some screens of the work done

Last year I was working on a site that ended being pretty nice, Focus on Virtualization.


It’s a web site made for IDG and Microsoft, it was done in just two weeks, and one of the parts that I really liked were the tweets.

I just updated the content of Los Angeles Sentinel, feel free to visit and read the new articles

In the next days, I’ll be working on a dance site that is being built in rails.

This is a exciting news since I love dancing, and I was missing working with rails.

My first task is to customize the shopping section using Liquid Markup.

But I’m sure I’ll be get more important tasks in the near future.

I was assigned the task to update the newspaper “The Lost Angeles Sentinel”.

While working there, I’ll be doing major fixes and design improvements. If I’m lucky, I’ll be allowed to migrate the site to joomla 1.5.9 with a new a cool graphic design.
