brief description: MyMapr, a social mapping platform, allowed for users to embed, share and create custom maps. It allows users to overlay custom data sets onto Yahoo Maps. It also served as a simple yahoo maps mashup builder as it could export code that could be built upon for creating Yahoo Maps mashups!

who was this made for? Yahoo! (client)

platform: Web

motivation: I completed the project for the Yahoo LMC Hackday Summer 2007. It was a personal interest of mine after I learned the in's and out's of the Yahoo Maps AJAX API.

personal role(team): This was a stand-alone project at first. Jenn Vargas, a fellow UED intern for Yahoo Local helped with custom marker images later.

personal role(technology): I developed all of the client-side javascript, css, xhtml, ajax. Javascript was used for templating auto-generated code. This project utilized YUI Grids, Tabs, Animation, Yahoo Pipes, Upcoming.org API, Flickr API and the Yahoo Maps AJAX API.

technical difficulties: The code generation templating is much easier done in a server-side language like PHP but i wanted to see if i could make the entire project client-side.
