OUP Placement 2006

September '06

Over the first two months I learnt a lot about the current products that OUP were producing, including the new major GCSE framework science product 21st Century Science. There were major problems with this at first and several problems came about (through customers) where the user was unable to add additional packs (it is split into three packs, which breaks down into 6 modules each) and certain parts of the program would just disapear. I managed to locate the problem which was embedded in a part of the CSS structure of the program, from here I was able to identify a way of "hacking" the code so to speak to force it to believe the modules were installed (which they were they just didn't have an install log)
Managed to then create a web-page with a java applet which would create the CSS page for the user.

Which brings me onto the next project. We also had a new minisite released for the Winnie the Witch book series, and I was asked to create a game where you can dress Winnie (the Witch character) I had little experience in actionscript which is what was to be used for the Winnie project, and it was a steep learning curve. Thankfully Google has a lot to help with actionscript and I found several free code websites that provided me with the nessecary drag and drop components to dress our witch!
