New Christmas Countdown HTML5 Web App

It all started more as an experiment a few years ago. I made the first Christmas countdown app and uploaded it to my website. The app was also added to the Google Chrome webstore. In December 2014, I noticed a lot of traffic on that app, it got popular! That’s when I decided to start working more on the app and also make mobile versions of that app so people can have it on their mobile devices.

The version of the web app available in the past few years was developed using Adobe Flash. Since Flash is almost dead, I decided this year to make a better, more beautiful HTML5 version that will work on all modern browsers, including mobile browsers. That’s exactly what I did in the last few weeks.

Now, the new Christmas Countdown app is available and ready to be used. The app includes a list of Christmas radio stations with beautiful Christmas carols that you can listen to all day long.

I will keep improving the app with things that might make it better. If you have any suggestions, please add them in the comments section below. Thank you and enjoy the app!

Christmas Day Countdown – Free Android Application

Yesterday I spent some time and made a cool little application with Adobe AIR technology, a simple application that will count down the days ’till Christmas.

Book Creator For Kids

Update: At the beginning of this year, the client requested a few new features and a some features removed. Above you have a screen shot of the new app and below you can find an image with the old interface.

Lately I’ve been absent because I have been working on a cool Book Creator Flash application.

This project was a new experience for me since I got to work with Flash and server-side code.

The application is made for kids between the ages of 8 and 12 years.

It’s a Book Creator type of app that lets you configure a simple book. You can then print the book to your local printer or save on your profile.

Greetings Card Flash Application

I have worked on this application for a few months and now I see it’s finally implemented into greetingsisland.com.

The project was for two Flash applications, Cards and Invitations, both very similar with very few different features.

It lets you make your own greeting card and invitation design. It’s great looking and easy to use, especially for kids. After you’ve made the perfect greeting, you can either print it on your home printer or save it as a PDF file.

The development itself was demanding and very rewarding, as I got to use techniques like singleton pattern, I’ve used the Facebook API to retrieve photos from Facebook albums and I’ve learned some new coding styles from my friend Biro Barna.

Go on, check it out and let me know if you like it 😉

Image and Video Slideshow

Just uploaded a new project to ActiveDen. This is a slideshow that will let you display images and play videos.

You can play video from YouTube, Vimeo or your FLV, F4V, MP4 files.
It can load JPG, SWF and PNG files.

If you want to buy it, please check the image below 😉

Paul Calver’s portfolio website

A few weeks ago I started working on some updates for a photography website. The project started a bit slow, but after I managed to get every information from the client I managed to understand what’s needed to be done in order to complete it. This project uses SlideShow PRO (at the request of my client) and SlideShow PRO Director for CMS. I like the final result and that’s why I wrote about this website. Enjoy 😉
