All front-ends to the system were web-based; back-end work was completed using a combination of DB2, Java and Cobol. Created a new, self-serve auto quoting web site to update the company’s brand. A prototype of the site was provided in Adobe Flash. Myself and the others on my team removed the Flash limitation by implementing the site via HTML/CSS and JavaScript, with focus on the DOJO JavaScript library for animations. User-interaction with the site is seamless and application-like as we implemented all transactions using in-house AJAX calls.Designed and implemented both a front-end and back-end software solution for allowing AJAX calls in an otherwise strictly MVC-based environment. All enhancements used an existing in-house Java framework so as to not affect any of the other applications directly. Enhancements provided asynchronous communication between the clients’ machines and our servers, allowing applications to better serve specific, action-based roles. Show less
