DevWebCamp: Conference site with PayPal payments, admin panel, authentication and more advanced features

Project Description

This is a full stack conference site in which users will be able to register for conferences and workshops from a development camp. Three possible passes are available for the users: free, virtual and in-person. Also, the site implements a PayPal payment system for the paid passes. The admin panel allows the administrator to manage the conferences, workshops, speakers, users and gifts sent to the users who buy a pass. The site is built with PHP, MySQL, HTML, SAAS and JavaScript. The site is responsive and mobile friendly and implements a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture for easier maintenance and scalability.
