Colorado Public Radio (CPR) approached Aten Design Group to develop a new streamlined site for their four properties: CPR, News, Classical, and OpenAir. The new cpr.org needed to feature original content, audio stories, and live streaming of their radio stations. All of this functionality needed to work on a single site, across as many devices as possible with a persistent audio player.

With an audio player being a primary feature of the site, we needed to ensure users could simultaneously listen to their favorite shows while browsing freely. The result was a fully AJAX driven experience that pushed Drupal further than we ever have. Find out about the challenges of creating a persistent media experience in Drupal 7 across multiple devices.

Techniques and approaches:

• AJAX navigation
• Persistent audio
• Improving JavaScript performance and developer experience
• Responsive layouts

Attendees will come away with a better understanding of implementing fully AJAX driven Drupal site, custom responsive layouts, and improved JavaScript development workflows.
