Here at netsperience 2.x, I will continue my research, pushing the limits of code to discover new ways for web pages and sites to function. Really.
Thanks to Drupal ("community plumbing"), we now have a place to get together and meet, my clients, my colleagues, and hopefully, some new friends as well.
I tried out a lot of javascripts from libraries, and modded many with added features, better style, or just plain better function. I prefer to use off-the-shelf open source code as a starting point, it saves time (and saves money for my clients). However, I developed ideas for functions that weren't in any script libraries, so I had to cook them from scratch. I collected a few of these original and unusual javascript widgets, doodads, and apps at jsgenie Scripts.
QuizBlender is a client-side quiz engine and editor. It stores players' quizzes and scores with a cookie, permitting multi-player mode. An administrator or teacher can retrieve a record of the wrong answers to evaluate topics for further study. A study sheet of all questions and answers can be generated. Completely configurable questions/answers, colors, sound effects (currently only in IE), random on/off, and many more options.
The Ultimate Original JavaScript ColorShow changes the web page's colors every second randomly using DHTML/JavaScript in its default settings. It has a full user interface GUI with many controls. ColorShow generates a body tag that can be used to capture the color scheme. ColorShow was featured on the front page of JavaScript.com and was reviewed by Bald Guy at WorldVillage.com
You can still visit the original netsperience 1.0 - a good example of what can be accomplished with DHTML and JavaScript - no php no mysql - just client-side programming.
What can I say about a web site where I developed personal projects for over 10 years?
