Recent Projects Completed by Iqode
Things have been pretty busy here at Iqode hence the lack of updates to this site. Here's a quick run down of some of the major projects I've been involved in. You can find out a little more by checking out my portfolio.
Nickelodeon
Iqode's work at Nickelodeon was extended a few more months after the Christmas rush to help roll out further updates to both the Nick Jr and Nick sites. Updates included micro-sites for St. Valentine's day, Easter and schools half-term. All big events in the world of children's broadcasting! Also some brand new programmes were launched for spring which also needed supporting micro-sites:
Nick Jr
Nick
If that wasn't enough Nickelodeon are promoting a global celebration of ten years of SpongeBob SquarePants this year. Iqode was responsible for building the UK SpongeBob SquarePants portal featuring games, clips, bio's and downloads. That was a lot of fun.
Please be aware Iqode didn't produce any of the artwork for these sites. However, Iqode worked closely with Nickelodeon designers to develop nice clean interfaces created with love using the finest inorganic ingredients sprinkled with XHTML, CSS and underpinned with some solid, tasty ASP.Net code.
St Andrew's Healthcare
St Andrew's is the UK's largest not-for-profit mental health care charity that specialises in mental health care, learning disabilities and acquired brain injuries.
A consortium of three companies built NENE - St Andrew's core nursing resource allocation application.
Devour Design Limited designed the front-end and managed the project.
Simego Limited developed the Microsoft SQL Server database and wrote some excellent data import tools to provide seamless integration with St Andrew's human resource databases.
Iqode Limited developed the web application heavily utilizing some cool technologies and frameworks: AJAX, Ext JS, jQuery and ASP.Net MVC.
This mission critical application tracks clinical and non-clinical staffing requirements across the entire organisation and allows users to assign temporary or permanent members of staff to those vacancies.
Study Group
Study Group helps over 40,000 international students every year to achieve academic success. The company spans five continents and has major learning centres in Australia and New Zealand, the USA and the United Kingdom.
Study Group have developed a web-based application, called Partners, that allows their global network of agents to enrol students, book courses, accommodation and airport transfers.
Before the Partners soft launch Iqode was asked to improve the user experience by refining the user interface and improving workflows and processes. Additionally I improved cross-browser compatibility and, where necessary, development new or missing functionality.
The project was great fun and gave me the opportunity to work on an application that was beautifully architected and designed by some very talented developers. I know I learnt a lot from this project and I hope I was able to share some of my own expertise with the team in return.
The Partners application is only available to authorised agents and there is no public access.
Matchbox Mobile
Matchbox Mobile provide unique mobile software solutions for the wireless industry. Matchbox asked Iqode to produce a working proof of concept web application to support a prototype mobile device application. The application mashes up Windows Live services with location based services to produce and amazing and unique experience for its users. I'm afraid NDA's prevent me from elaborating further so let me bore you with Iqode's role in this project!
From page mock-ups and wire frames provided by the client Iqode produced an ASP.Net MVC application that was brought to life with a smattering of jQuery Ajaxified magic. Behind the scenes the application connected to Windows Live web services for
As soon as this software comes out of private beta I'll publish more information.
