BBC America Shop

BBC America wanted a new ecomerce shopping cart that complimented their newly redesigned site.

I was hired toward the end of this project, and had to learn ajax to meet the needs of this exciting project. My main responsibility was for the "My Account" section of this site. I also did shipping address and the credit card validation. While testing correct data, we noticed that the products in the cart were making the cookie size to large for IE to handle. Programming a Persistent Storage Mechanism using AJAX and JSON rectified that issue.
