Selected Programming and Development Experience
- Property, Inc DBA - Rgud.biz Kevin Baker Ph # 907-357-2000, email: kevin@rgud.biz
» Alaskamls.com, rgud.com », property.biz/ » and other sites of the same owners.
Sites are interactive and database - driven with dynamic content.
Applications include the entire management of a Real Estate Transaction
including buyer and seller registration, credit card processing for fees,
dozens of input forms. Property assessment appeal reporting.
- Strategies:
- Leveraging the MVC scheme by a self-developed process that enables the
creation of forms of any size(400 or more fields). This process entails both
automatic generation of python, rebol and javascript code as well as MySQL
data definitions for database creation, modification and normalization.
In addition, these strategies leverage existing open source tools such as the
MySQL database system with both TCP/IP and shared - object access,
-
Javascript libraries including dojo, jquery and AjaxRequest. as well as
self-developed libraries.
Current cutting-edge technologies include ajax and DHTML. An excellent
proof of concept for DHTML may be seen » HERE.
All javascript libraries used may be reviewed by viewing the source of this page
and in turn, sourcing the javascript URLs displayed at the top of the source.
