The project I'm tasked with is to develop for one of their projects called TakePart. TakePart is a beta site that helps users explore todays issues and find out how to get involved. I've developed heavily in Drupal modules (PHP/MySql) and scripting using JQuery and objected oriented javascript. So far the project is very exciting with a lot of really cool coding going on working on a really senior team of engineers. When I first arrived, immediately I helped solve a lot of big problems that were urgent. Once that was done, I had the opportunity to optimize the site, pages were taking 20 to 25 seconds to load I was able to reduce down to 5 to 7 seconds and sometimes faster using some creative somewhat AJAX related trick I designed. The solution is even better then simply making calls through AJAX in my opinion. I also got the opportunity to create entire new modules to add to their Drupal framework. Its a great company to work for with really friendly people. I'm realy happy with how things are going, the contract is for an uncertain amount of time.
