Project In a Nutshell After working on another project for a large multi-national not-for-profit organization, I came to the conclusion that there needed to be a better way to organize CSS and HTML for big, content-heavy sites. I started working on the reuze framework and launched the beta version in December of 2012.
My Role Design, framework concept and front-end development.
Tech Used Adobe Fireworks for design and layout. CSS3, HTML5 and jQuery for front end. Site itself is built using custom PHP templates.
My Growth This endeavor really pushed my jQuery and CSS skills to the limit and beyond. I also became familiar with RDFa Lite — a resource for creating 'rich-snippets' that is steadily gaining traction with the goal of helping search engines like Google to better categorize content.
Project In a Nutshell I had the pleasure of designing and building a fully responsive Wordpress theme for the iconic U of T Graduate House.
My Role Design, front end development and WP development.
Tech Used Adobe Fireworks for design and layout. CSS3, HTML5 and jQuery for front end. Wordpress CMS/PHP for backend.
My Growth Ditched all WP plugins relating to custom fields/posts and rolled my on stuff using the functions.php file. Incorporated RESS design methodology that utilizes a light-weight PHP function to deliver the appropriate images and content to multiple devices without using evil 'download and hide' practices.
Project In a Nutshell This project involved designing and building a custom Wordpress theme for the lovely people at the Ryerson Marketing Association.
My Role Design, front end development and WP development.
Tech Used Adobe Fireworks for design and layout. CSS3, HTML5 and jQuery for front end. Wordpress CMS/PHP for backend.
My Growth More efficient and appropriate usage of Wordpress loop structures. Prior to coding the site, the client was provided with an interactive full-site mockup exported from Adobe Fireworks.
Project In a Nutshell This is a side business of mine that has been online since 1999. It specializes in providing advanced NFL data analysis and predictive software which is consumed by Fantasy Football companies, pro-football bettors, and even some former NFL players turned sports-casters!
My Role As sole-proprietor, I have been behind all aspects of this venture, including: logo design, site design and front/backend coding.
Tech Used Adobe Fireworks for design and layout. CSS3, HTML5 and jQuery for front end. Wordpress CMS/PHP for backend that includes e-commerce capabilities and client admin panels.
My Growth This is THE project where I learned to write solid CSS and HTML and where I learned to develop for the Web using PHP. Also learned how to build and launch stand-alone Excel applications (a niche area of software development to be sure!)
