New Microsoft Deep Zoom Technology

Seadragon is a technology, used for deeply zooming into images of any size. It provides almost perfect transitions independent from the sizes of the images. Seadragon Ajax is a viewing library implemented in pure JavaScript. It supports the same single image file format that Silverlight Deep Zoom uses, but does not support Deep Zoom Collections.

Web development (HTML, CSS, ASP, SQL, VBScript)

This example (see link below) was completed for my Dynamic Web Technologies Masters project. It demonstrates functionality typically required from an eCommerce site. The focus was on web development so the front-end design is very limited.

 

The product information displayed comes from an Access database. Basic server side validation is applied to the checkout form fields. When an order is complete, the information is stored in the database and can be seen from ' view all orders' at the bottom of winelist. When a user adds wine to the shopping cart, the results are stored in cookies and updated when an additional item is added or subtracted.

Learning object about stress

This example (see link below) helped me obtain a Flash design contract at Reid Kerr College. A brief was set, to design a stress learning object, before the job interview. Potential candidates were asked to show what they can do with Flash and ActionScript.

 

I decided to show all the major things you might be required to do with Adobe Flash. It took me two weeks to create and build all the questions, illustrations, video, sound, text, animation and interactivity from scratch.
