Charlie Rose
April 2007
The Charlie Rose show had a site that needed a face life - both in looks and technology - so they contracted Code and Theory, a firm in NYC and my day job, to design and program their dream site. After a year of almost ground up development using a custom rock-solid Java platform, the new Charlie Rose site sparkled. We had managed to bring their vision to life - a stream lined but jam packed site that had easy functionality and a great look. My job was to make sure the front end of the site looked just right with fully compliant CSS. I also implemented the AJAX-y way the videos load by swapping out the thumbnail and auto playing the video for quicker page load times. Plus, I put together the DHTML scrollers on the Features page to ensure they look and function universally across all browsers. It was a fun site to develop but I’m glad all of those headaches are over!
