Building off the Interactive SVG USA Map package offered on Code Canyon, I developed and implemented a scalable USA map for the Bold Approach website. Improving on the original code package, I converted the package to work as a jQuery plugin to simplify instantiation and allow mulitple maps of different dimensions with minimal configuration.
Put together some jQuery, PHP, and mySQL to create an AJAX pagination system for the signatories on DebateTheDebt.org. I then applied it to Twitter Bootstrap's default pagination markup. (Wouldn't it be nice if the T-BS guys added something like this to the JS components?) UPDATE: I also added this to ReadyNation.org. In this instance, I tweaked […]
Although it seems a little late in the game, CRFB had me launch a new tool that allows you to compare the budget plans of the leading presidential candidates. I suspect they'll add President Obama's plan soon enough. The site is clearly a rendition of the deficit reduction plan comparisison tool that I designed and […]
Previously, I set up a form to automatically look up someone's congressional district and legislator by a provided ZIP code. It used the Sunlight Labs API along with a PHP class. The problem was that a given ZIP code can have multiple congressional districts. To further complicate matters, the Sunlight Labs data doesn't have the […]
Building out a little enhancement to a sign-up form that provides users with a list of their likely congressmen based on their supplied zip code. I'm using Sunlight Labs API, along with a third-party PHP library, to retrieve the results. The form fires a jQuery-based AJAX call as soon as the person enters their full […]
In the middle of converting a client's old, Flash-only site (aka a site that doesn't work on iPhones and iPad) to a HTML/CSS based site. Converting the formerly ActionScript-powered form by using Twitter's Bootcamp CSS framework and a custom javascript (mostly jQuery) script for validation. UPDATE: view the case study
Just switched this site's commenting system over to disqus (from a previous custom built system). A little PHP allowed me to tailor their system to my site's needs (e.g., excluding it from certain pages). All in all, it was super easy. I then went ahead and imported the site's existing comments, which took a little […]
Launched a new version of the NDTAC's Fast Facts website, which presents data and data visualizations of State education data from the Federal Title I, Part D program for youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at risk. The Section 508 compliant website is built on a MySQL database, and uses PHP to retrieve the data […]
CRFB's Deficit Reduction Plan Comparison Tool has been launched. This quick turn around project was completed on a part time basis in about 3 weeks. It relies upon jQuery to expand and contract the various rows and columns in the table. The entire tool is dynamic and connected to a CMS, which allows editors to […]
Working on a new project that will allow users to compare some of the leading Federal budget deficit reduction plans. The data/plans will be presented in a table. Because of the great detail of data, users are initially presented with a collapsed table. I'm using jQuery to allow users to expand individual rows and columns. […]
