flash applications |
|
Senior Developer on Aprovel, a complex Flash training application developed for the pharmaceutical industry. Developed in tandem with Plavix, these products jointly took over 3 months of actionscript development time. See Plavix for more details about functionality and Abilify and Oncology for more technical information on this family of products. |
Senior Developer on Plavix. This complex e-learning application tracks progress and test score data for each user, sending this data as custom XML packets to a backend for analysis. If the user has no internet connection, the data is stored offline in an event queue. The next time a connect is detected, the data in the event queue is pushed up to the database. |
|
Senior Developer on Abilify. Abilify was a new product based on the classes developed for Plavix & Aprovel, however, with a more complex visual interface and a video driven instructional narrative. The product provides training on the treatment of Schizophrenia and Bi-polar disorder. |
Senior Developer on Oncology. Another application based on the Plavix & Aprovel family. I developed these applications using Flash
8/AS 2.0 classes, using mdm Zinc to, amongst other things, create an executable that could store the offline data event queue on the users hard-drive. |
