So I do extra work. There is work… then there is extra work. Unfortunately at work, i don’t get paid to be super innovative… well i take that back. Sometimes I do, often times I don’t. So I take on extra projects and those can be interesting.
I am known for my work with Flash and Actionscript, but I am also known for other things as well. Sometimes i think people put me into a box… but they forget I carry a box cutter on me (figuratively). So when i was asked to build a quick flash application for Hyperion’s Book (link here), I looked at the spec and offered a better solution. With their time frame in place, my client was worried it would not be done. So… I built it in flash, but I had some time. SO I built it out using JavaScript. The sweet part to this is that this application can now be seen on apple products, so when my client showed it to hyperion they were super excited! Hopefully this brings more JavaScript of “HTML5″ projects my way. Perhaps an updated video player is in order for that Jamie Oliver video player.
