DuCoopReview^1.2

A round rankings were posted the other day. Hopefully everyone got the jobs they wanted to get. If you have some time post how you feel now or felt about your past co-ops so everyone else can check them out to see if they want the job. I’m going to start working on improvements to the site when I get the free time. If you would like to see anything added or just have a cool idea for the site use the contact page and let us know about it.

Saturday May 31st – Monday June 2nd the site experienced a long downtime. I would like to apologize for this as it was out of mine or my server admins hands. To quote the server company “On Saturday, May 31st at 4:55pm CDT in our H1 data center, electrical gear shorted, creating an explosion and fire that knocked down three walls surrounding our electrical equipment room. Thankfully, no one was injured. In addition, no customer servers were damaged or lost.” Thankfully nothing was lost and no one was hurt. Sorry about the downtime.

Well its been a busy week at Drexel Co-op Review but I am proud to announce the official release of version 1.2. As you can see the site has improved dramatically in this version. The site is has been converted completely to Django, a python framework. With this new frame work multiple new features have come. As you can see the ratings are slightly different. When posting a rating/comment it now lists what you rated the employer in your comment. Also the site looks a lot cleaner and there is now more information displayed on the right navigation panel. I would also like to thank Josh for making this all possible this week!

The launch of version 1.2 also goes along with the fact that this week we are featured in The Triangle. So when you get some time feel free to check that article out. Other than that enjoy the new version of the site and keep posting your ratings!

This Saturday May 10th marks the first day of A round for anyone who will be on co-op in the fall/winter of 2008. Over the next week the site will get a few minor updates. The first of these updates was implemented today and allows you to search the site for employers. To use the search just go to the all employers page and use the search box at the top.

As I get more free time I will implement more and more helpful features to the site. One of the biggest changes that is coming is that the site is being converted from strictly PHP to a Python framework called Django. Hopefully this will take place over the summer and come fall a ton of new features will be added with it. If you have an idea for a feature please contact us and let us know it. If we like it expect to see it added in the future.

We are proud to announce the official opening of ducoopreview.com Feel free to check out the site. In order to comment and add your experience about employers you need to register. You can do that by clicking here.
