A short course in funneling the power of a Google Mini Appliance into usable, branded result sets. This course will focus on utilizing the built-in helper tools, extending the front-end stylesheets, pulling stripped html through requests and inline frames, and parsing the XML directly. These methods will help ensure that your visitors get the results they're looking for, and enable you to display them in a pleasing format that has the functionality your audience requires.
I have been interfacing with social media before it was managed through WWIV and a handful of 2400-baud modems and have been building websites—primarily higher education, nonprofit, and eCommerce sites/applications—since the inception of Mosaic. I still remember my “discovery” of animated .gifs and knew, at that point, that the possibilities of the web were endless.Throughout the course of a project, I help provide the technical architecture required to integrate disparate systems together in a logical way. My focus, however, is on customizing content management and search/indexing systems so that they are elegant, intuitive, and extensible.A limited sample of my project portfolio: Yale Law School, The American Dental Association, Nevada State College, The College of William & Mary, The Fashion Institute of Technology, Princeton University Undergraduate Admissions, Oakton Community College, Christopher Newport University, others.
