User:Dennis Villasenor

Hello, my name is Dennis Villasenor, I am just finishing my first year at Seneca's BSD program. I graduated from Seneca's CPA program in 2004 and spent a few years working as a developer for SAP systems. I enjoy working with computers particularly with databases and anything that involves handling data as well as system design. I'm not particularly technically minded and prefer to look at system development and programming more from the business end of things.

Task List for DPS909

3. wk3 - Setup blog, got assigned ticket 559 which is the Slideshow player. Got in touch with David Seifried and Chris DeCairos for the first time.
4. wk4 - Talked with David Seifried. What the slideshow player will do has not yet been established at this point. Much of our discussion on IRC involved both me getting some clarification and ideas on what the player will do. Began working on an initial version which would consist of 2 javascript files, one for creating the slideshow and one for playing it.
5. wk5 - Talked with David Seifried and it turns out that my ideas were off, there would only be one .js file which will run slideshows created and uploaded to [Slideshare].
6. wk6 - Read through the slideshare API documentation and talked some more with Dave Seifried on the best way to approach coding this player.
7. wk7 -
8. wk8 - Spent Thursday and Friday working on this player. Came to the conclusion that using an existing player would be a good approach as from the talks over IRC with Dave, the player will behave in much the same way as most of the other slideshow players. After looking at the different players and from the slideshare documentation on how to implement a slideshare slideshow, the Vimeo player looked like a good candidate. Friday and the weekend were spent adapting a copy of the vimeo player to run a slideshare slideshow though with no success.
