Code

In developing BioStor I made use of a number of code libraries and snippets. These include:

• ADOdb Database Abstraction Library for PHP (and Python)
• Simple N-Gram (bi-gram) FULLTEXT parser plugin for MySQL by Ado Nishimura.
• Simile Exhibit widget by David François Huynh, released under a BSD License.
• ImageMagick and its dependencies (the Independent JPEG Group's JPEG library, libPNG, and LibTIFF).
• lazierLoad by Bram Van Damme.
• Lightbox 2 by Lokesh Dhakar, as modified by Fabian Lange to provide automatic resizing
• PHP CAPTCHA library for reCAPTCHA
• Prototype Javascript framework
