About the progression of the website:
Wendy wanted a recipe website to store and share her recipes with family and friends.
I found recipants, an open-source recipe website written in python, and I used it
for quite some time. Wendy decided she wanted the ability to add pictures and some
other features. Initially I started adding the features in the python code. I decided
for the second time that python wasn't for me.
First I ported the website over to php and mysql because that's what I was playing
with at the time. That was fun but at work I was put on a project written in C#,
a language I'd never used before. I used this as an excuse for a new port.
There have been various flavors of the C# webpage. The first was written totally
from scratch and handled roles and users manually as well as database queries. Little
by little I replaced the mysql backend with a Sql Server Express backend and started
using the built in Microsoft providers for roles and users. The last push was to
convert all of the sql queries and stored procedures over to Linq to Sql. That's
where it stands today.
