Help needed for interactive floor plans

Post by naziabanu »

Hello there,

I am a php developer and I have a new project for a real estate website that needs to have interactive floor plans similar to tourvista.com..Does anyone know which technology(AJAX/javascript only) would be a wiser choice to develop this and I really need to start off with this as I gotto finish the project in a months time from sep 01.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Maybe you are referring to JavaScript frameworks like: jQuery, MooTools, Prototype or Dojo. If you are talking about these you may start a fanboy war on them. My advice read about them, make a few scripts using them then choose the one you like. Because is simpler to develop with them a "AJAX page".

Is that the only way to create these interactive floor plans??? I mean is there no other way to proceed before I make a choice?

Can some one also list me the way I can get to learn this Javascript frameworks quickly and in the best way??

You could do that front end system in Javascript, Flash, Java, or possibly Silverlight. They'd all work ok. I'd use either Javascript or Flash.

That isn't going to be the problem though. What you're going to find really difficult is working out a way to define a floor plan in the admin system. That is going to be a lot of work. Personally, I don't think I could do it in a month. And I've been developing web apps for over 10 years.
