about me

My full name is Alexander Flatscher and I live in Austria. I started (web-) programming at the age of 16 with JavaScript (and HTML table layouts... how foolish...). Now I've made my Bachelor of Science in Multi Media Technology with focus on web and communities at the University of Applied Sciences in Salzburg.

Right now I mainly focus on developing websites and webapps with Ruby on Rails and JavaScript (with a CoffeScript flavor), although I know some other languages too, e.g. PHP, C++, Java (Android).

In the web I like to animate objects and move things around. I like fancy and colorful designs and websites with clear edges.

my work

This project wants to give a pure impression of the different eating habits and cultures all over the world. The aim is to collect international recipes. The clue: three of the recipe's ingredients have to be eggs, potatoes and onions.

Web projects - an agile approach

Scrum, Pivotal Tracker, process model, waterfall model, bachelor thesis

My second bachelor thesis researches how the process model changes the project process and the collaboration of webdesigners and webdevelopers. Therefore I recorded the Scrum process of our final project Jacob Joins and compared it to an exemplarily process with the well-known waterfall model.

jQuery Mobile vs. Sencha Touch

mobile, Sencha Touch, jQuery Mobile, bachelor thesis

In the course of my first bachelor thesis I compared two technologies for the realization of mobile web apps, namely Sencha Touch and jQuery Mobile. Therefore I developed a ToDo App.
