The application I developed as part of my thesis for the OKJ (National Vocational Qualification Registry) Internet Application Developer qualification.
It’s an interactive table-based form builder written in JavaScript, with the JQuery framework. The interface for managing the saved forms is fueled by CodeIgniter. It supports multiple languages, English and Hungarian right now. All the table operations are done, and all the input types (including select) are supported. Only tested with XULRunner-based browsers, and Opera to a lesser degree. IE is explicitly non-supported. It outputs beautified HTML based on the DOM created by the user. The code and commit comments are in Hungarian as a requirement, but the UI is fully translated into English (and the source itself uses English names for variables and functions).

The website of my class at school. It has only Hungarian language. The graphics were made by a very talented classmate of mine. I wrote it originally in pure PHP, but ported it some time ago to the Symphony framework. Some highlights are the moving news on top (OK, not a highlight…) and the calendar written in PHP, complete with JS/Ajax timetable (disabled in the holidays), one-day events, holidays correctly spanning through months and years and of course an event list (see 'Naptár’ section). A lot of work also went into the custom image browser (see 'Képek’ section).

A book catalog, also written in Python. Only available in Hungarian, but of course it could be translated. Fetches book information from antikvarium.hu by ISBN, where it found info for about 90-95% of the 500-odd books I added. Supports book categories, drag-and-drop for both the categories and the books, and file-type association in the Win32 installer.

My first “serious” Python application. It’s one of those write-dictionary-test-words programs. The interface can be translated, now it has English and Hungarian languages. The first version was quite hackish, so afterwards I also got some experience in refactoring Python code.

An RPN calculator written in Java. The text fields can be edited via the GUI buttons or the keyboard. It has exponential and trigonometric functions. You can choose angles to be represented as degrees (Fok) or radians (Radián). The stack has five slots (X, Y, A, B, C) and four memory slots. Operations are implemented with higher-order functions.
