Work Examples
- Angular development
- Rewrite of the physiotherapyexercises.com using Angular/ASP.Net Core (ongoing)
- jQuery Mobile
-
Wanted to be able to have website running on multiple mobile devices without having
to maintain different code bases. jQuery Mobile seemed well suited for this. This
uses the same javascript code as the jQuery UI version, with different templates
used.
- jQuery UI
-
While the silverlight version was a success, wanted to rewrite the website and make
it more interactive and use more HTML5 features, ability to run offline and run
faster. Rewrote website so it used jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery Templates and Knockout.
Much easier to maintain when compared to the older ASP NET version. The design of
the site was based on making it look much like the silverlight pivot viewer version.
