I have my fingers crossed that in 6 months time when the report is published hybris achieve their target position.

Facilities include :
• Shared kitchen
• Male & Female Cloakrooms
• High Street Location
• Ample Private parking

Total area : Area (sq M) – 18.9 • Area (sq ft) – 203.4
Rental area : Area (sq M) – 9.45 • Area (sq ft) – 101.7

All gradients, styling and text effects were produced using CSS and where possible all images are SVG to allow for scaling on devices such as the iPhone, iPad and supporting browsers without pixelation. For those browsers not able to display SVG a PNG or equivalent is served up.

Whats more it all degrades nicely down to IE6 using the principle that those browsers that can, do – but those that can’t can still look good. Assisted by an implementation of Modernizr even the custom fonts shine through, which is nice.

I used Less Framework (4) to provide the basis for the Media Queries.

As soon as the proof is awarded a thumbs up from those concerned I look forward to the next round of development.

This stage was facilitated through the creation of page wireframes that allowed us to visualise the final layout making alterations and adjustments along the way until the correct balance was achieved.

Once the content structure was complete I set about creating the visual elements keeping in mind the style and appearance aesthetics desired of my client with a flavour of my own taking into account my design experience and research.

Moving onto development I employed the latest HTML5 and CSS3 techniques to create a super-lightweight and accessible framework recreating many design elements within the browser itself.

This will be the second time the event has taken place, dubbed ‘Heart & Sole 2: The Awesome Strikes Back!’. I attended the launch event last year and really enjoyed the variety of topics covered by guest speakers, some given by friends and associates from the Winchester Web Scene – the evening rounded off with a great talk by Developer Evangelist Christian Heilmann of Mozilla. Although there will be no raffle this year (possibly related to Drew Jones winning almost everything last year!) Heart & Sole 2 has a bigger speaker line up and in my opinion should definitely not be missed.

Working alongside a team of several programmers my role as front-end developer involves writing semantically correct, lightweight HTML and scalable cross browser compliant CSS from within an Agile software development environment.

Further duties include the writing and preparation of tutorials and supporting documentation for key aspects of the techniques and working practices that will be employed by hybris customers managing their own product solutions.

The showcase is a fantastic environment to be involved in, working alongside the best in the business its fast paced with constant interesting challenges. The requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams each subscribing to scrum methodologies.

Suggestions are welcomed and as a developer it really pushes you to go the extra mile and see where the technology can be taken next.

After development was complete I prepared a short handover on the implementation and structure of what I’d created as the task of maintenance would fall outside of my remit and it was vital that the in house team at Friends Provident would be capable of taking and expanding upon the groundwork I’d established.

Having affixed it to the brickwork opposite our front door this morning I can confirm that the guys at Strawberry Signs did us proud indeed!

It was great to catch up with Petra and to meet the team. The venue was fantastic and a most enjoyable afternoon was spent chatting with friends and collegues new and old over a plentiful selection of tea, sandwiches, cakes, pastries and trifles.
