In June of this year (2006), I (Nat) got a ring from a fellow in town who had a client who needed a health-care related site rebuilt from scratch to support new functionality. At my previous company, we had a number of these, which always ended up relatively enjoyable projects for the simple fact that we had an existing prototype upon which to build the new version, and because the client *generally* knew what s/he wanted since there was a system already in place.

June rolled into July and the months passed by. I got very deep into writing Flex facades for another Webapper (Shannon) who wrote all the Flex UI. Steve Nelson came onboard with Webapper midway through the project, and he jumped in right away, writing an incredibly hairy importer (over 1000 lines long) to move data from the old database to the new database.

I can’t say this was the largest project I’ve worked on, nor the most difficult, but I did learn a few things about Flex since 100% of the revenue-generating user interface screens are built in Flex and only those “peripheral” screens like the checkout process, brochureware, admin, “my account”, etc are in HTML. (Oh yeah, I threw in some Ajax via AjaxCFC too.)

Anyway, you can check out the site at www.reimbursementplus.com. There is a guest login on the left side of the brochureware pages if you care to get into the Flex stuff.

We’ve got more projects in the pipeline, even some projects already backed up. No rest for the wicked!
