Technology

The design proposal called for a considerable amount of front-end work drawing inspiration from incredible upload tools such as flickr. After researching the client libraries and my partiality to jQuery I settled on the Uploadify library. Uploadify is the leading swfUploader plugin for jQuery with incredible extensibility. Some additional customization was required however to join the uploadify plugin with jQuery’s . Ultimately, the project’s front-end came together coupled with the re-architectured file system not only has user functionality been improved but site performance as well.
