Enhanced a current web slider by utilizing the capabilities of Royal Slider in order to
create a single component which would be used across multiple pages.
Responsive Design was integrated by using CSS media queries in order to adjust the new
component for multiple resolutions.
Cross browser, XHTML, and CSS validations were ran on the new component to ensure
consistency.
Portfolio May 2012 " Current
Technologies: HTML, CSS, jQuery, AJAX, XML, Visio, Photoshop, WAMP, Notepad++, Filezilla
Project structure has been developed from wireframe diagrams to the design phase using
PhotoShop.
WAMP was chosen as the development platform for its ease of use, quick installation,
system resource requirement, and utilization of PhpMyAdmin.
Using the 960Grid System consistent HTML structure was set in place thus allowing for
optimum cross browser and cross version compatibility.
Focusing on expandability and maintainability the project section was developed utilizing
XML and AJAX to populate new project data via user page controls.
Notepad++ was used during the coding and programming stages with the final version being
pushed to the net using Filezilla.
DB Edit App July 2012
Technologies: C#, MySQL, Visual Studio 2010
A MySQL database was created using Visual Studio containing both nchar and smallint data
types so as to maximize database performance.
Access to the database is then performed via an internal sealed class so as to prevent
modification to the SQL connection.
The database information is populated into a data grid view allowing the user to interact
with the information without having direct access to the database.
Information can then be added, modified, and deleted through the use of form inputs.
These changes are not saved to the database until the user is satisfied with the changes
and then hit the save changes input. The changes are then merged to the database with an
alter showing the user that their changes have been successful.
Sticky Notes July 2012
Technologies: HTML, CSS, jQuery, AJAX, PHP, MySQL, Notepad++, Filezilla, PhpMyAdmin
PhpMyAdmin was utilized to create a notes table to house the content which will be
created by the user. The table contains fields for the following; unique note id number,
text content, author name, note color, coordinates, and creation timestamp.
PHP is then used to connect to the database, and then retrieve the content using a while
query loop.
The Fancybox jQuery plug-in is then used to populate the predefined HTML structure
allowing the user to create a new note.
To seamlessly add the user input to the database, AJAX was chosen to send the information
via a post to a PHP query file which adds the content to the database.
jQuery is then used to update the positioning of the notes using an additional function
call to a PHP file via AJAX.
Cable Company Database April 2012
Technologies: SQL, SQL Plus
Eight individual tables were created using a relation database model in order to
logically link each of the tables. This database model had be chosen not only to
accomodate the business model, but also for the extensibility properties which the
relational model contains.
Data types for the stored information and their respective sizes were carefully analyzed
and implemented so as to increase server performance.
Emoticon Pet March 2012
Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Notepad++, Filezilla
To allow the functionality of the JavaScript application, the HTML form is composed of
several inputs. These inputs either invoke specific functions using the onClick event, or
they either populate the end result given from the functions.
An initial load function is executed when the user clicks or tabs to enter the catch
input button. Various other inputs on the form then update the text based emoticon so that
it interacts with the user as if it were a virtual pet.
Image Gallery December 2011
Technologies: ActionScript, XML, Adobe Flash
Two timeline frames were first created to house the images and movie clips for the
gallery.
An XML file containing image references had been used to increase the maintainability of
the project.
The main screen, which is a movie clip, loads the image information via an XML load
function and automatically resizes the frame based on the dimensions of the loaded image.
Accessing the gallery via the onscreen gallery button executes a for loop populating each
of the images, as referenced in the XML file, to the constraints as defined by the preset
movie clip frames.
