Welcome!

Hi, I'm Josh Rofrano and I will be your guide through this fun little journey. I appreciate your visiting, (no really...I do). I am a junior at RIT in both the IT and New Media ID programs. I created this site as a place to experiment and as a place to put portfolio work. Here you can find projects I've done over the past few years, and my most recent works. Along with being a full time (16 credit) student I do web Developement for the Finance and Administration branch. I am part of what is called the FAST-Dev team. Team is a little misleading in this instance in that it is me, another person and my boss, that is the team however we manage mostly all of the finweb.rit.edu system, RIT Inn, amongst many others.

Use the navigation on the top of the page to move about the site. On the flash site you may want to have your sound on for at least the TBI projects because they have a lot of music to accompany...(otherwise they don't really make much sense). Much of my code is courtosy of Stu Nicholls. Who is a god at CSS and such. I also got the navigation on this page from Listmatic. There is a problem with the flash page, if you are using IE7 (which I sincerely hope you are not) the movies will not parse and will be boring). This page is prietty consistent in terms of compatibility you should be fine if you are using anything other than (IE7, and the photo page is off by a few pixels in Mozilla (not firefox just Mozilla)).

A few interesting things about this page:

• I realized very early on that my website package with 1and1 didn't include SSI. So as a work around (courtosy of my boss Dan) I changed everything to PHP and used PHP includes.
• This page is laid out using div's and the text here, is laid out so that the image defines where the text should go...check out the source code if you don't understand (it is a bad explanation).
• The entire flash page should be valid xHTML transitional, I used a workaround to parse the flash movies without having errors. (however it doesn't do well in IE).
• Currently (5/9/07) every page is valid xHTML transitional (that is what the button the bottom means) (I don't know why this is important, but it is to someone, somewhere).
• The Photography page is created by using all CSS and xHTML.
