I'm looking for assistance completing a GUI interface in a Symfony project. You would be working on an existing code base. Multiple boxes are laid out using CSS driven from database values for height, width, X-position and Y-position, all of which are percentages of the parent box container. You would implement: * Save functionality: Users can interactively drag and drop boxes. Clicking a Save button should calculate new values for X and Y positions of all boxes, then update their associated database entries. * Resize functionality: Create corner resize handles on boxes to allow users to interactively modify box height and width. Clicking a Save button would calculate new height and width values, then save them to the database. Work would be entirely online, you would save your changes to an SVN branch.

VGMix 3.0 - Javascript / HTML / CSS Wizard

jake — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 22:57:44 -0800

"yerfatma" recently posted a perfectly-worded listing seeking someone with experience in XHTML, CSS and JavaScript, with a strong opinion about their favorite JavaScript library and a love of browser consistency and attention to detail. I am looking for precisely the same type of person, but I'm paying. We are a well loved, self-funded hobbyist site where members submit and critique arrangements of video game music. I've spent the past three years watching volunteer after volunteer get caught up in school, crushed with day jobs, or simply unmotivated. We're almost a year late on our projected re-launch date, and the natives are restless. I'm willing to hire someone to help get the site launched this year to break the flake-out cycle. You'd be a hero to several thousand nerds. We're close, but we still need Javascript magic and an experienced hand on the markup (alongside the ongoing backend development). We have a complete visual design / theme, so we just need help writing Django templates and spicing them up with Javascript interactivity. The site will allow for custom theming so if you'd like to design your own, zen-garden style, we'd welcome it and I'd do something nice for you! Our team's culture is very friendly and informal - we've hacked various versions of the site together since 2001, and are close friends who hang out on IRC. We use Trac, SVN, and an email list for project management. I am myself a freelance musician so I am a friendly negotiator. If this sounds appealing to you, drop me a line and we'll talk.

AJAX and User Interface wizard needed

twiggy — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 19:20:17 -0800

Note: This is volunteer work with revenue potential. You've heard this one before, but come to me for more details and I'll explain my idea to you and you may just agree with me that there's serious money to be made. I'm a programmer. I could do this stuff myself. However, I work a full time job, and I'm also not spectacular with making things pretty, graphically. I've put some time into developing the idea, but spent $0 because I have a mortgage to pay. I'm looking for someone else willing to dedicate some time to something that might just take off and be something amazing. What I need: A whiz-bang AJAX developer capable of making really great UI functionality that works in both IE and Mozilla. Safari would be great too. If you've seen things like iGoogle's drag and droppable components, NetVibes, etc, you know what I'm after. What the project is: See my MeFi profile for a glimpse. There's way more ideas behind it than just what's there, but that'll give you a general idea. In a nutshell, I want to give people the ability to tie all of their different internet presences into one place. Compensation: At the very worst, I could provide you with some perks such as space on my colocated webserver so you can host a site or two. It's a LAMP server and I'd be happy to install any fun toys (within reason) you want. At the very best, the idea is executed well, takes off, and a company is formed. You're hired on as lead interface developer. You're given a significant share of any ad revenue taken in by the site.

AJAX / Web 2.0 Guru Needed

grumblebee — Tue, 15 May 2007 11:23:52 -0800

Nabbr.biz is looking for a UI expert with strong HTML, CSS and Javascript skills. You'll be building both large- and small-scale web applications. Design skills are a plus, but we're more concerned with your programming skill than your abilities as a designer. We want someone located in the NYC area. We work as a tightly integrated team, so we'll need you onsite. We have a great team comprised of business people, Flash developers and back-end scripters. To round off our staff, we need someone who excels at browser scripting. Nabbr is a "Social Promotion" company. We make widgets -- little mini websites -- that run on site like MySpace and spread virally. Most of our clients are in the music industry. We've created widgets for The Beatles, Justin Timberlake, Mika, Pink, etc. We're starting to branch into other fields -- such as movies, TV-shows and games. We're a venture-backed startup, but we're doing very well. How well? Check out the live "total videos served" ticker on www.nabbr.biz! Employees earn a compensative salary with the possibility of equity in the company. We're located in downtown Manhattan.

A bit of basic web coding--probably PHP and DHTML

dobbs — Wed, 09 May 2007 21:32:19 -0800

I need a page that is a form where people can write an email and click send and it's sent to a specified address. Simple enough. However, I also need: - to have a checkbox that says "CC blahblah" and when that box is checked, it also CCs the letter to blah blah and when the box is NOT checked, it doesn't CC blah blah but it does send an email to blah blah to tell them that a letter was sent so that they can keep track of how effective the campaign is. Further, I need a "Sample" letter to toggle when the person clicks "View/Hide Sample Letter". That's it. us$100 flat sent via Paypal. (I'm just guessing that this is probably 20 - 60 minutes work for someone who knows what they're doing but if I'm wrong and way off on the pay, pls let me know.) Must work within Expression Engine (which allows all PHP to be run) and on a Dreamhost server. Must be done by Monday, May 14. Whenever I've posted jobs like this before, I've gotten great response. If you want to do the job, pls let me know why I should pick you as 20 "I'll do it!" letters all look the same. Questions? Bring 'em on!

This will be at a high-profile conference, and speaking at it will look really good on your resume. -- You should know the topic. -- You should be a good presenter. -- It would be great if you lived in the US so that my company doesn't have to fly you in from overseas. I've delivered many sessions like this, so I can help you prep for it and answer your questions.

Why the DOM matters;

Have worked with database-driven, dynamically generated web sites as well as static "brochure" sites;
Have authored DHTML widgets and can speak knowledgably about AJAX;
Understand the requirements and techniques for building accessible web sites;

Creating XHTML and CSS templates based on comps provided by our design team;
Providing input to designers to help them understand technical constraints and opportunities;
Working closely with back-end engineers to insure that your templates work within larger systems;
Understanding implied and unexpressed client and user needs and proactively addressing them;

Creating front-end deliverables.

Needing some ajax help

mathowie — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 11:07:10 -0800

I'd love to do some ajax-ification of many small GET and POST submits on MetaFilter, but I'm terrible with javascript. I know there are tons of good js and ajax people reading the site, so I figure about ten hours of $50/hr work could probably cover it. Using scriptalicious or a similar framework would be fine, you'd just need to write some small enhancements for mefi pages, on a staging server that would eventually get worked into the live site.
