Code Examples

Client List
An example of displaying large amounts of data in bite-sized format. This much information presented in a traditional grid format would easily overwhelm and confuse the typical end user. The point of this was to allow someone to look up any specific data, compare that to any other item in the list and make the process as intuitive as possible. Instead of drinking from the fire hose the data is presented in a more efficient way.

Lasers.js
Ever get bored and just sort of start stream-of-consensus coding? No? Um, me either I just wanted to see if you did. That being said I meticulously planned out this javascript library you are seeing in the background with lost of requirements and planning and scrum masters and sprints etc... yeah that's how it happened.
