Web Development Skills - Examples

• HTML and CSS -
    For my examples of HTML and CSS, I reffer to my portfolio of web sites. I use Dreamweaver® for web page design and layout, but from time to time, I "hand edit" the HTML code and Cascading Style Sheets to get the desired effect. To see code on any page, use the "view source code" option on your brouser.
• Javascript
    Most of my javascripting programing consists of validity checking for forms. For this, I can reffer to a registration form I did for the Red Rocks and Purple Mountains web site. (Click here for a copy - not tied into the actual system.)
    One of the most elaborate things I've done with javascript is a slideshow which I did for my personal web site several years ago. Unfortunately, it works best with an early version of Netscape and MSIE, but had problems with dial-up speeds. With dial-up internet interfaces, the image files would not always finish loading in time for the next transition. I tried buffering techniques, but they were only partially successful. I long ago discontinued the page. Here is a print of the slideshow function code.
    I later did another slideshow using both PHP and Javascript. I'd like to include it here as I think it was a clever use of using both languages - each provides a parameter for the other to use ... Click here to see the timed slideshow, and click here to see the code printout.
• PHP
    My most recent and extensive developments using PHP (with MySQL) is with the Red Rocks and Purple Mountains Registration system which is an e-comerce application, using PayPal as the payment interface. I am not prepared to show the code for this application at this time. However, a development I did a few years ago should serve as a good example; A design for a bulliten board posting system where members of an activities club (off-road bicycling club) could post event information to the web site. Click here for the design document. Click here for a print of some sample code ( the file to process the event entry form ). Note: this system is no longer on line with the RMBB web site.
