About Dezynworks

Dezynworks is a currently a one man show run by a fellow who has been working with the web since HTML 1.0 and NCSA Mosaic. (That's nearly 15 years.)

I began by working things out for myself and haven't stopped learning new technologies and skills. In fact, learning new things is what keeps me going.

Over the years I've worked with Perl, Classic ASP, Oracle and PL/SQL, and WebLogic and JSP. Today LAMP is my preferred development platform.

I'm also a programmer who has a degree in fine art. Go figure. So whether you have a small project you need tackled or need help with a larger project, I'm your man.

This incarnation of the OGIO site was built from scratch using MySQL, PHP, and jQuery. It's built on the CodeIgniter framework.

Graphic design by JV2.

jQuery is used throughout the site to provide interactive features.

A MySQL database drives the product pages. A bare bones backend was developed to manage the data.

AutoToob is a site that reviews vehicles based on consumer needs and not advertising dollars. This latest revision (#3) implemented a better video player, AJAX driven search results and a more intuitive research interface.

PHP, jQuery, MySQL database design, some Flash programming

This is a shot of the video thumb viewer on the home page that is AJAX driven.

This is a Flash widget that gives users a visual way to set basic search parameters to find cars that are more suited to their tastes and needs.

An extensive back-end has been built to manage the data that drives the site. It makes use of the jQuery UI to help reduce roundtrips to the server and provide an intelligible interface.

aegis3d is a monument configurator to help streamline the sale process at monument designers and funeral homes. Design Studio —combining Flash and the Viewpoint Media Player—gives the customer instant feedback on the options they choose for their memorial. Data provided directly to the manufacturer minimizes the risk for error. Unfortunately this site is availble only to authorized resellers. Visit alwaysaegis.com for videos of the site in action.

PHP programming, MySQL database design, Flash Actionscript 2.0, JavaScript

Resellers have access to a backend that allows them to manage customers and orders, set pricing and select styles and colors available, and even customize the names for monument styles and granite colors.

Wrestling with Dojo
03.31.2011
I've recently started working with Dojo, a javascript framework that has a lot to offer if you're planning on building a large, complex web app. The only other framework I've used is jQuery, which I like a lot. However, jQuery doesn't lend itself well to managing lots of javascript code. I'm not sure how much of that is a function of jQuery and how much is a function of my coding practices, but there is at least ...
