Major Projects
Girl Scout Site Sales Application
I have a lot of programming to do and new components to build. I also volunteer periodically for the Girl Scouts here in San Diego. In 2008, I was asked to put this application together, and ran into problems with my dynamic version. With the clock ticking I was forced to implement a static page which required 2 hours of updating every night. So planning ahead, I'm building this project to provide me with components for other applications, as well as get a maintenance monkey off my back. Check out our Girl Scout Site Sales Index for more information.

Perrill Translation Tool
This is a much more aggressive project that will certainly stretch out for awhile and possibly absorb other technologies into the final solution as well. The idea is to provide a tool that will help us build and display complete Perrill translations of foreign language texts. This could be a larger project but we'll need to adjust our goals upwards later and get something usable on a more immediate timeline.

EC Beta Testing Suite
We need a number of testing administration tools for the website, and they're not just going to build themselves. We need this broad testing suite for Earth Chronicle to perform manual as well as automated testing which can save us some work.

Server Application
There are a number of things about the .NET framework that I like immensely, however, there is still a fair amount of underlying structure to it and without the proper support it is frequently not possible to to do true professional web development. For houses which have only back end people and for clients that are only interested in functionality, this can be used to implement fairly cookie cutter sites for small, medium, or large-scale use. The scalability is absolutely one of the great achievements of ASP.NET. However, from a web design standpoint it is a complete failure. You cannot use the web server control model to match a statically hand-coded XHTML prototype, web server controls were never designed for that level of functionality. Tools are needed that allow UI designers to render their designs as directly, uncomplicatedly, and quickly into dynamic XHTML output. Here's the Server Application project we're building to complete that.
