Board 18 is being developed using HTML5 (with canvas), CSS 3 and the JavaScript standard referred to as ECMAScript 5. Various Javascript Libraries are used by BOARD18 as shown in the table to the right.
The Firefox browser is the main development platform for this project. Currently Firefox version 46.x is being used. I recommend that this browser (or a later version of it) be used to run BOARD18. But all other modern browsers also seem to work.
NOTE: Canvas support is now present in all modern browsers. See Can I Use Canvas. But, at this point in the development of BOARD18, I do not have the resources to test it thoroughly in other browsers. I would be happy to accept your help in this area!
Server Side
The server side of BOARD18 will use LAMP. LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. PHP will be the programming language. And MySQL will be the data base language. The current development environment is based on PHP version 5.3 and MySQL version 5.5.
Database
There will be no client side data base. All permanent storage will be via the server side MySQL data base. PHP will be used for all MySQL access. PHP will use the procedural style of the mysqli API to access the database.
Client/Server Communication
The client side of BOARD18 will use the XMLHttpRequest protocol to communicate with the server side. We will be using the get(), getJSON() and put() Ajax functions from the jQuery library for this.
User Interface
Board18 will accept the following user inputs: keyboard, mouse movement and mouse button clicks. Right clicks will activate a pop-up menu. Scroll wheel events will not be used by the BOARD18 application.
