My first heavy jQuery + Javascript project :) There are a couple quirks that I want to fix at some point…but hopefully nothing noticeable :X
The listings are all pulled directly from the job database into an object that the back end engineer created, and the dude next to me had to show me how to loop that from Freemarker into a JSON object so that I could dynamically display everything using Javascript. Never have I done so much string manipulation. It may look like a simple enough piece, but (1) it kind of isn’t (okay this is debatable), and (2) for someone whose most complicated script before joining the team was nothing (and on up to that point on the team a little clicky slider)…I swear to God.
I also thought I started out pretty well in terms of organizing my functions, but the script looks a bit nightmareish now, which is what I guess happens when you’re inexperienced (lack of foresight) and try to stuff more and more features in as the project continues.
So, some hindsight cringing, but I’m much, much more comfortable with Javascript using the jQuery framework after doing this ‘redesign.’
And portfolio design is growing legs!
