About This Site
This site contains references to useful things for Web developers. It serves as an archive for the blog, The Web Curmudgeon. The organization and styling of the site are a work in progress. The site should achieve its final form by December 21, 2012, just in time for Armageddon.

In the meantime, it's up in this sort-of beta form because...well, because the blog is free on Google., and the archives are free on Limewebs.
THE CURMUDGEON'S PORTFOLIO
  • Anne's Archives, a complete Flash Web site for an SBCC Adult Ed instructor.

    This is actually a mixed site, as the file uploading and downloading aspects are PHP/HTML-based. Otherwise it is all Flash, with an XML/PHP/MySQL back end.

    The site features a registration page hooked up to a MySQL database by means of a PHP script.

     Lectures are archived in PDF format, downloadable from the "Writing" page.

    The site also interlinks to a Google blog on the subject of books recommended by the instructor.

    On the "Writing" page, click on "MP3" in the archive of lectures. You will be taken to the single lecture that I recorded for the site. (I really must make an effort to record more.) The player is hand-crafted from graphical primitives, made functional by Actionscript. It uses no Flash components.

  • The SOHOSB Events Calendar, a Flash-based calendar featuring popups of events. I made a second Web-based, Flash application to enter the content for the days and for the popups. I also made a small Flash form for this site for the club newsletter.

  • The Cinch-O-Matic, a PHP mail form script generator. You enter the URL of a Web page containing a mail form, fill in a few details, then press a button to download a finished PHP script to process the form. 

  • d805.com, a photogallery from scratch.

  • Other little tidbits include the menu at the top of this page, my first Flash 9 project. This menu looks to see which of the pages lies below, and then configures itself accordingly. A partially completed AS3 site is here.This site contains a video player that gets a video from a social site, and plays it. It also contains a number of animated poems, coded in AS3.  Clinical Compliance Concepts, is  a specialty medical organization. The content is all external to the site. The XML is located here. This otherwise plain-vanilla site features my favorite Web form, made from a picture of a fire alarm. On this site, the I Just Want To Flash tutorials are demonstratons of Actionscript 3.
