| The most often 
              updated feature on this client's websites is the list of jobs available 
              at Simpson. The previous design of this feature involved a static 
              detail page for each job opening, which had been cut and pasted 
              from the Word document sent out internally as a "job announcement." 
              A summary listing page was also maintained that listed all the jobs 
              available with hyperlinks to each of the detail pages.  In order to 
              reduce the amount of effort required to accomplish the maintenance 
              of this job board, I developed a database connected ASP application. 
                The new design 
              consists of a Microsoft Access database and two ASP pages. The data 
              for each job opening is stored in the database, which provides a 
              simple interface for editing. The first ASP page is a summary page 
              which displays the job title and geographic location of each of 
              the openings. Each job in the list is hyperlinked to a second ASP 
              page which generates a detailed description of that job, its data 
              being drawn from the database. Note: This application 
              has since been removed by my successor and replaced by static HTML 
              pages.   |
