An Angular 4 (+Boostrap) web application I coded myself

See AnthonyPlaysFrisbee.com

This is a fun website I created for myself and my frisbee teammates to consolidate all our video highlights and stats onto one web app. This web application was coded by myself using Angular 4 and the css framework, Bootstrap. The skills I used for this website includes: Typescript, Javascript, jQuery, CSS, Photoshop, JSON API Rest Calls.

The AnthonyPlaysFrisbee.com website shows the power and speed of Angular. On the left side bar is a list of dropdown select boxes, when a dropdown item is selected, the filtered data is shared across all the other webpages(components) as well. (ie, the filter selections do not have to be reselected if you were to leave the home page)

Some of the Angular-specific terminology I used in this app: Observables, Pipes, Components, Routers, ChartJS, Behavior Subject (to pass data between components).

Drag-and-Drop Functionality for Content Management System

VIEW DEMO (prototype source code – jQueryUI to drag and drop elements into placeholders)

Firmsite Publisher is the in-house content management system used by the Thomson Rueters Findlaw division to create websites for law firms and lawyers. Over 10,000 websites are created through this online-based system.

In one of the biggest additions to Firmsite Publisher, my team members and I developed the new feature to add Drag-and-Drop capabilities. This feature is to help our content authors to customize the look of a law firm’s website easily.  I was tasked with all the Front-end development responsibilities.

The core technologies used for this project: Java, JSP, Javascript and jQuery UI’s drag-n-drop library.  My team members and I successfully complete this feature to rave reviews.

Responsive Web Design for a dashboard

Screencast shows the same web-dashboard displayed on three different devices – MacBook, iPad, and iPhone

VIEW DEMO (source code – Responsive web design with charts in Sencha EXTJS; source code – A plot chart using HighChart javascript library)

With the increasing popularity of iPads and iPhones, I was asked me to create a web-based dashboard to provide an optimal viewing experience with all their devices – iPads, iPhones, and Macbooks using just a single-code base. I was able to achieve these requirements using responsive web design techniques with HTML5, javascript and CSS3.

The dashboard contains several distinct widgets:
1.) Multiple carousels (swiping of data) responds to both mouse and touch gestures to swipe the card to view additional sets of data.
2.) A slider to select the date and time range. The slider transforms into the standard iPhone time picker when the web-dashboard is viewed on an iPhone.
3.) Sophisticated charts embedded inside of other charts.
4.) Grids to display data
5.) Persistent Web Design techniques to retain user’s viewing settings

In addition to javascript and CSS3. I used the following technologies and plugins:

  • Bryntum Scheduler and Gantt Charts
  • Sencha EXTJS 4.0
  • jQuery
  • jQuery.ContentCarousel plugin
  • Developr theming
  • glDatePicker
  • jQRangeSlider
  • jQuery.blockUI plugin
  • mobiScroll

My Toddler Can Learn Names

My Child Can Learn Names

.

VIEW DEMO (source code – Javascript DOM animations and movements)

I have been buying a lot of apps from the AppStore and Google Play Market for my young son. Then I thought, “Hey, why don’t I make my own app?!”

In my spare time, I developed an app to teach my 2-year old son the names of his family members and favorite cartoon characters.

There are apps to teach your toddler animal names, colors, shapes, vehicles… but what about apps to teach your toddler the names of friends and loved ones? This app can teach your toddler the names of his/her family and friends in a fun and easy to play game.

Download the game from Google Play or Play the game online

This educational game was created using HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, Javascript and a plugin to stretch images.

Trees! Trees! Trees! But not the kind of forest you’re thinking of

.

VIEW DEMO (source code – display of tree nodes and child node expansion)

Normal people think of trees as those green living things with branches and leaves. Computer Programmers think of trees as something completely different. (although computer programmers should be considered normal people too).

I made this mult-tree webpage for using jQuery and the plugin treeTable. Using JSON data from a webservice, I generate a table using the old <table><tr><td> tags with their corresponding parent ids. Then I plug in the treeTable — and POOOOOF — the tree appears. It’s that easy.

Web-based Compare/Copy tool


(actual data has been removed and replaced with fake data)

VIEW DEMO (source code – duplicating form field values and DOM contents)
This is one of the many projects I worked on at Apple. I made this web app for Apple using Javascript and jQuery.

If you’re familiar with programming and doing a code-difference on the changes you’ve made to your code, you’ll probably notice some similarities to this web-based tool. This tool basically shows the difference between two sets of data and allows you to copy one set of data to the other. There’s more to it, but let’s not bore you too much.

And oh! If you resize your browser, the web app will resize itself to use the most space as possible… because I just hate white empty space.

The Jeremy Lin Video Game for your phone, tablet and desktop!


It’s been awhile since I posted something I’ve done. I’ve been doing amazing things at Apple Inc, which has kept me busy. Awhile back, I did begin a project to help me learn all of HTML5 features. I decided to make a Jeremy Lin app that incorporates all of the new and cool HTML5 features. I also wanted this app/website to be responsive. This app should work and look nice on all devices – desktop, smartphone, tablet. Here is my excerpt from the Google Play store,

This is the Jeremy Lin Linsanity Video Game. You decide which play to make and watch your stats increase. Watch hundreds with highlight clips of Jeremy Lin’s NBA career. This app also includes Jeremy Lin’s twitter feed, real-time stats, youtube highlight clips, the Houston Rocket’s schedule, fan photos, news, biography, etc.

Play the Jeremy Lin video game from your desktop, smartphone, or tablet here

Download the Jeremy Lin video game from the Google Play store

List of technologies used in this App
jQuery Mobile – the framework to lay out the pages and dialog box
CSS3 – renders the elements to fit into the various devices
HTML5 Video – no plugins required to view the Jeremy Lin videos and is supported on most platforms with the latest browsers
jPlayerPlaylist – a playlist plugin to watch html 5 videos
Canvas – plots the shots taken by Lin onto the basketball court
Localstorage – keeps track of the player’s stats and saves the stats even after the browser is closed

A dashboard full of charts and reports.

Our new dashboard feature was presented at our annual conference, Project Flow 2011, to rave reviews! Project managers and executives who use our web-based software once had to scour through several charts and reports to see the information they need for the day. However, with the new dashboard design, most of the essential information can be seen on one screen.

The charts are generated using a 3rd Party add-on called ChartFX.Net from SoftwareFX. I used jQuery to populate the widgets with data. jQuery was also used to display enlarged widgets in a modal dialog box. All the widgets were generated with ASP.Net code.

*update: The dashboard feature was officially released to clients on Dec 13, 2012.
