Challenge Overview
Rolling Thunder:
Rolling Thunder is a series of fast 1 to 2 day challenges building on one another to produce quick and awesome results! This should be a fun and exciting way to get a large number of people involved in the process at different points. Schedules will be set for each challenge. All challenges will complete at 7 AM ET with reviews 7-9 AM ET and appeals 9-10 AM ET. Please keep this in mind when competing. There will be no final fixes.
This is the first time we are doing it at topcoder.
Project Overview:
Welcome to the Rolling Thunder – Awards Application UI Prototype Challenge! The goal of this challenge is to create an HTML5 Prototype application for Desktop/iPad/iPhone based on provided storyboards for Barry University Application. The prototype must follow our standards and our guidelines. Please see more details below.
As part of this challenge you will need to document all HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript code. We need clear explanation of the code to help us figure all the HTML5/CSS3/JS code functions and make it easier for future developers and the client to understand what you have built.
NOTE: This application is using Bootstrap 3 (http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started).
Tips for Success: Asking questions early and getting Copilot or PM's feedback is very important for the success of this challenge.
Competition Task Overview:
The main task of this competition is to develop HTML5 prototype based on the provided storyboard designs. Your prototype must work properly in all the required browsers.

Awards Nomination Form:
- awards-nomination-01.png
- Nothing special above the tabs.
- Tabs:
-- The active tab should be bold as shown and display the corresponding Criteria elements below it.
-- The first three tabs (General Criteria, Additional Criteria, Business Results) are just example tab labels.
-- The Multimedia tab should always appear last
-- The challenge doesn't need to account for what appears in the Multimedia tab.
-- There is the possibility that the business will create so many tabs that they will not fit across a standard screen width. We will need the tab labels to wrap to a second row of tab labels in such a way that it is still obvious that they
are "tab" headers.
-- In addition to what is shown, there should also be Expand All and Collapse All functionality that we were not able to get updated into the design yet. This will expand/collapse all of the "+"/"-" and show the full criterion information with the text entry field to the right.
-- Clicking on “+” will expand that criterion information alone, and clicking “-” will collapse it.
-- The text entry field represented will be utilizing the Salesforce rich text field functionality, so no need to implement it in the prototype.
- You can use an image placeholder for chatter area, as this is going to use Salesforce chatter.
Specific HTML/CSS/JavaScript Requirements:
HTML/CSS Requirements:
- Your HTML code must be valid HTML5 and follow best practices
- Validate your code - reviewers may accept minor validation errors, but please comment your reason for any validation errors. Use the validators listed in the scorecard.
- Use CSS to space out objects, not clear/transparent images (GIFs or PNGs) and use proper structural CSS to layout your page. Only use table tags for tables of data/information and not for page layout.
- No inline CSS styles - all styles must be placed in an external style-sheet.
- Use semantically correct tags - use H tags for headers, etc. Use strong and em tags instead of bold and italic tags.
- Element and Attribute names should be in lowercase and use a "-" or camel naming to separate multiple-word classes (i.e.. "main-content", or "mainContent)
- Label all CSS, JavaScript, or HTML hacks with explanations so others will understand.
- Your code must render properly in all browsers listed in the scorecard in both Mac and PC environments.
JavaScript Requirements:
- All JavaScript used must not have any copyrights to any third party. You are encouraged to use your own scripts, or scripts that are free, publicly available and do not have copyright statements or author recognition requirements anywhere in the code.
