I was recently reminded of a job I did a few years back for the Arizona State Retirement System.
Hired as a sub-contractor through the now-defunct Business Polish, my initial contract was to provide a template and user interface services for an internal conversion from an extensive Oracle Forms-based system to a java-based web interface. It worked out so well I ended up working there for almost two years. It was there I got to fully flex my ui-ux muscles. I’d also never worked on a Java project before. Their programmers were some of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. My design was deceptively simple. Each peice of HTML/CSS had to work as a library that the programmers could copy easily and without any CSS knowledge. Come to think of it, this is where I got my CSS chops, too.
Here is a screenshot, obviously not the real deal as this was an internal application.
