Skills must be honed that create a functional page that users will view and use as the client hopes them to.

Many new eb designers produce eb pages that seem to ignore fundamental principles of "good design": full of colored backgrounds, animated pictures, multiple colors and styles of text, and little to no navigation or eb-based structure. Even in courses devoted to eb design, students still produce pages that lack unity, coherence and emphasis: "though they [students] seem to understand (and can critique) others' efforts, they're stymied when it's time for production. Few have the skills or experience writing in this medium" (Yancey & ickliff, 2001, p. 180). Similarly, individuals working on their own or working from documentation struggle with being able to create eb pages due to the same lack of experience writing on the eb.

Web Design

For a few decades now, since the introduction of the Internet, the World Wide Web has become the most used form of information resource. Thousands of web sites owned by public and private sectors are currently accessible over the Internet. Aside from quick provision of information the World Wide Web provides, ease of accessibility is one of the factors that has made it a popular choice. One doesn't need to bother going to a library, whose accessibility is usually limited within an area, and find for the necessary information from large volumes of books. With the World Wide Web, the availability of Internet cafes almost everywhere, as well as the ownership of computers in many households these days, the accessibility of information has provided convenience to many users.

A group of people in the Internet community, however, was somehow not taken into account when most of the current…

Web 2.0

The Business Uses of Cloud Computing and Web 2.0

When it comes to being successful in the business world, there are many options companies can use. Two of the most significant and most widely considered today are cloud computing and Web 2.0. Cloud computing offers companies a chance to store a high level of data "in the cloud," instead of keeping it on their own servers. Because of that, these companies are able to collect much more information about customers, and are also able to provide those same customers with a great deal more knowledge (and faster speed) than they would otherwise be able to offer (Hassan, 2011). Companies that operate the cloud do so through the use of sophisticated servers, that are generally much faster than what a smaller company could afford on its own. That gives the customers of that company a higher chance of getting…

With the 2004 U.S. Presidential elections, blogs' growth accelerated dramatically as nearly every news network, candidate in both U.S. Senate and House of epresentative races, and political pundit has their own blog competing for the publics' attention. The era of 2004 to today in fact has created a blogging industry that is pervasive in its availability of publishing platforms (USC Annenberg School of Journalism) and also in its readers for organizing and aggregating content of interest (Boeri, 2007).

Since 2004, technologies have emerged for completing text mining of blogs to find linguistic patterns in the mass of posts and also build linguistic models that represent public opinion. The use of latent semantic indexing as a technology has become prevalent as a result.

Flash animation or Real System Streaming Media can be difficult for slower dial-up users to access. The more technically advanced and eye-catching the technology, the fewer the users who will be able to access that technology speedily -- and even persons with the fastest cable modems might not wish to view an entire animated advertisement, as opposed to something they can see with a point and click of a mouse.

Even if the users has the capacity to see the technology, websites filled with pop-ups and other 'bells and whistles' may be so overcrowded that viewers may be unable to assimilate all of the information on the site, or even understand the purpose of the site. Sometimes more is simply more, depending on the product message and the target audience of the site.

In conjunction with this the technological aspects of security need to be managed as part of the governance process (Hannon, 2002) to make the change more trustworthy.

Conclusion

The impacts of Web 2.0 technologies and social networks are revolutionizing how government agencies interact internally and with each other. The need for overcoming resistance to change, redefining processes so they are made more effective with the addition of technology, are all critical aspects of managing the migration to new technologies. Ultimately it is in the automating of processes that hinder organizations' effectiveness where the true value of technology is found.

Also, unlike the other website, this location had some distractions on the page. There were a lot of pop up ads that were annoying and had nothing to do with the subject of depression. The advertisement on this site was too excessive and I think that it got in the way of my searching. As I mentioned earlier, since this is a cliff note sight, it has tons of information unlike the previous website that I went to earlier. The information on the depression was broken down into sections unlike the other web page. For example, on this site there was The Politics of Conservatism: 1920 -- 1928 that the researcher could click on if they wanted to go in depth and find out the political setting during the time of The Great Depression.

0 is "…a broad name used for a number of different experiments that are being done in the research community" (eddy & Goodman, 2002, p. 12). The emphasis here is in 'experiment' as Web 2.0 is a platform for the testing of new applications and innovation, as well as being an area for research and development in education and science.

The differences in the way that Web 2.0 functions can be seen in the concept of the Internet as a new platform or environment. This is a concept that exceeds the idea that a new Internet would merely offer new applications that would be in essence an extension of Internet 1.0.

Web Advertising

Advertising permeates the World Wide Web, just as it pervades television, radio, public space, and print publications. However, the form, presentation, and content of web advertising can differ significantly from other types of ads. Compared with television and print media, web-based advertising can be media rich and far more interactive than any other type of advertising. Web ads are also more diverse than print, television, or radio ads. For example, web advertising ranges from simple sponsored text blurbs such as those contained in the sidebars of any Google search to animated banner and pop-up ads to Flash films complete with sound. Web ads also put the viewer closely in touch with the source vendor in a way that print, television, or radio ads cannot. With a web ad, the viewer can, and is even encouraged to, connect directly with the company website to make a purchase. Moreover, with…

Web Design

The proper procedure to design a website involves planning, innovation, and proper execution. The purpose of the website, along with its actual content, when melded together correctly, offers the visitor information and flexibility.

The first step a website innovator undertakes is to determine the audience of the website. Secondly, the innovator determines what the purpose of the website is. Although both of these steps seem simple, it is a crucial step. These two items need determined and defined clearly before further planning.

The goal of the site is the next determination. The website innovator decides what the goal of the site is. Website builders design sites to disseminate information. Other sites implement a design to sell or persuade, while others collect information from the visitor. Many times, the sites have multiple purposes, such as provide information and sell a product or service during the visit. (An example of…

An official Presidential seal flanks each page in a top frame, denoting site authority and authenticity. Unfortunately, however, there is no information about the site's authorship, its web designers, or its editors. Legitimacy is inferred via the White House name and its implied prestige only.

About a decade ago when the World Wide Web first launched, only the brave and commercial entrepreneurs established web sites. If they could not handle the HTML coding themselves, it was necessary to work with a web designer/graphic designer, who charged thousands of dollars. This was a new technology, so vendors charged a lot for their services. They were learning as they went, as well. Within a couple of years, thousands and then hundreds of thousands of organizations and individuals of all kinds started getting involved with the web. Soon the price of web sites started tumbling down, and now they are available for free by many services. Another change started occurring in most recent years, individuals began having their own personal sites on which they blogged, wrote articles about themselves and their feelings, interviewed others, and provided information about things that interested them.

NFLShop.com is designed for the impulse buy of the loyal fan, and strives to capitalize on team loyalty over its own website's loyalty. This is where the site could improve. It is too focused on team loyalty at the expense of its own website loyalty. This is evident in the very small font and graphics navigation for signing up for the site and for requesting a catalog. As a result, the site must do the majority of its sales purely on impulse purchases.

Despite this shortcoming, the site delivers on the critical success factor of delivering trustworthy content and information assurance (Kim, Sivasailam, ao, 344). This aspect of the site is what makes it succeed; it makes the site trusted with loyal NFL fans. This catalyst of trust compensates for weaknesses in navigation and the lack of loyalty it is generating for the site itself.

The principles of good web design revolve around a number of central core factors. One important central criterion in the development of the principles of effective web design is to fully understand crucial characteristics of the medium. Another central aspect is to base your design message on aim and communication. The first factor -- understanding the medium of the Internet - is an essential and often neglected factor in web design as will become evident in the discussion of the various principles. Secondly, it should always be remembered that, within the context of the specific medium, being able to communicate quickly and effectively with the viewer or client is what makes a good Web site effective. The intended purpose of the web site is also another cardinal feature that influences the principles of design as it is in the creative presentation that is determines its ultimate level of…

But the view of Aristotle is more critical, rather than seeing the philosopher as a great prognosticator. Aristotle is presented as a great patriarch, occasionally overly venerated, as quite often his word was assumed to be 'gospel' during the heyday of the Catholic Church and scholasticism, although the website makes clear he should still be regarded as a worthy creator of the inklings of the modern scientific method.

The agenda of Philosophy Pages might also seem to be obvious, given the site's title, and its copious and helpful links to specific areas of Aristotelian philosophy, including Aristotle's doctrine of the universals, friendship, and other bibliographic sources. Although all of the data presented, however, is relatively accurate, it is extremely superficial and does not contain the copious amount of direct quotes from the philosopher's works -- far less even then the Encyclopedia page devoted to Aristotle. Also, the site is filled…

Likewise, the emergence of e-commerce has had enormous implications for the business world and governments alike, making this innovation one of the most significant in human history. Moreover, tens of millions of new Web pages are added to the World Wide Web every day, and current signs indicate this growth will continue to accelerate into the foreseeable future. One of the more important trends to emerge in recent years has been the use of the World Wide Web for social interaction in what has been termed the "Social Web." To gain a better understanding of the Social Web and its implications, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature, followed by a summary of the research and important findings in the conclusion.

Internet: Security on the Web

Security on the Web -- What are the Key Issues for Major Banks?

The age of digital technology -- email, Web-driven high-speed communication and information, online commerce, and more -- has been in place now for several years, and has been touted as a "revolutionary" technological breakthrough, and for good reason: This technology presents enormous new business opportunities. For example, by moving the key element of marketing and sales from local and regional strategies onto the global stage, and by providing dramatically improved customer convenience, the Web offers medium, small and large companies -- including banks -- unlimited growth potential.

That having been said, there are problems associated with online services, in particular online banking services, and security is at the top of the list of these issues. Some of the most serious security issues associated with Web-banking keep customers away from this technology, in…

Shell Oil's present CEO Peter Voser came to the helm of the company in 2009, at the height of the world's credit crisis. Voser immediately began 'cleaning house' and completely restructured the company. He began with the management. Twenty percent of the management staff was completely eliminated. Another 14,000 people at Shell were asked to reapply for their jobs and justify their worth to the company. Voser took seven months to completely change the organizational structure of the company to make it leaner and more competitive. Despite the far-reaching nature of his actions, Voser stated that he was primarily changing the nature of the management, not the fundamental company philosophy and orientation of Shell. Shell will remain an oil company, founded on the belief that oil…

This is where the ethicacy of web crawlers comes into play and is discussed in a later section of this paper. Finally the economic aspects of how web crawlers enable more effective forms of communication in shared networks and over Wi-Fi networks is just beginning to be studied (Bidoki, Yazdani, 2008). The growing reliance on smartphones, Wi-Fi networks and contextual advertising will result in entirely new business models based on web crawler technology as well.

Environmental Considerations of Web Crawling

Of the four factors analyzed, this is the most positive as web crawlers have significantly reduced emissions and lessoned the dependence on foreign oil by providing interactive, real-time search research. The ability to run servers and entire data centers far more efficiently through the use of web crawlers is contributing to less electric being used, which in turn frees up the petroleum and fuel to create energy to begin with. Web crawlers' effects on a cumulative reduction of fuel and carbon are significant. Add into that the focus of web crawlers on creating platforms for specialized search applications, and the benefits of this technology from an environmental standpoint exponentially increase (Yan, Wang, Li, Guo, 2002). Web crawlers can also reduce the amount of electricity used on a given laptop or PC over time, as fewer queries are needed to get the information required. All of these factors contribute to the fact that web crawlers can drastically reduce the carbon and energy footprint of data centers, user's servers, laptops, and PCs over time.

Medical Considerations of Web Crawling

The many medical considerations of web crawlers can be seen in how effectively they are being used to manage medical records in very large databases, and how they are also used

Google Docs is a free, Web-based office tool offered by Google, Inc. that allows data storage and collaboration to businesses. Users create and share documents, spreadsheets and presentations in dynamic and sophisticated ways (Mendelson, 2011). The fact that it is a Web-based tool means that it can work seamlessly across varying platforms (PC and Mac). It also allows members of an organization can collaborate on documents, worksheets, and presentations in real-time, even simultaneously. They can e-mail files, share access to files (either read-only or read/write) with individual contacts or groups, or publish files (to a blog or Web page).

There are three classic productivity applications: word processor, spreadsheet and presentation editor and a very user-friendly interface. There are also complementary apps such as Gmail and Google Calendar. Many small improvements have been made in recent years including Gears, a software platform that works as a browser extension allowing one to…

Both ashington and Adams proposed a rather strong federal government with powerful executive powers reserved for the president, though in keeping with Constitutional values and law. Of the first three presidents, Adams was perhaps more concerned with using the powers of the presidency, mainly to prevent legislation being based on fleeting public passions. However, the third president Thomas Jefferson interpreted the executive role as being more egalitarian than many other politicians at the time. Jefferson's ideal presidency was one that sought continual approval of the people: a more directly democratic vision than the federalists would have posed.

Web 2.0 Technologies for ecruitment and etention of Management-Level Employees

Web 2.0 technologies have permeated every aspect of online communication and collaboration, from public social networks to enterprise-based Customer elationship Management (CM) applications includes Salesforce's Chatter. What unifies all of these applications and platforms are the series of Web 2.0 design goals originally defined by Tim O'eilly and John Battelle (O'eilly, 2006). These design goals and objectives include using the Web as a platform to communicate, collaboration and create opportunities for connectedness between groups, both personal and professional (Bernoff, Li, 2008). All applications and platforms designed with Web 2.0 design goals in mind give the network user control over their own data, autonomy of how their data is used, provide features and functions that allow for greater communication and collaboration. The highly successful social networks including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and the emerging class of CM applications including Salesforce Chatter all…

Using the data available on this page, fill in the table below. (Lately, the USPS has changed stamp prices in May -- after Mother's Day. Just use the simple average of the pre-May price and the post-May price for the average price in a given year. The 2007 price is done for you; it was 39 cents until May 14 and then 41 cents after, so the average price is approximately 40 cents.) After you have recorded the data for the first two rows, calculate the approximate revenue from mail-handling for each of the three years. (The price is given per ounce, but most pieces of mail weigh less than an ounce and still contain one stamp.)

Hyperlinked tables of contents and indexes are tremendous time-savers as well as navigational aides. The non-linear presentation of digital texts appeals to learners adept at spatial relations, or those who appreciate metaphors. Hypertext allows learners to create and understand conceptual links between current course material and new or prior knowledge.

The multimedia presentation of digital text appeals to learners who rely on multiple senses including sight and hearing. Many students do not respond to purely verbal course material. The greatest strength of digital course materials may be its interactivity. Learners take an active role in their education when they can control the reading experience. Therefore, online texts replete with hyperlinks and multimedia content provide a wealth of opportunity for enhanced learning. The addition of instant messaging and related forms of digital communications make feedback and assessment methods more…

When using virtual access point to library document, it is essential that the experience appear similar to physical access to library document. The relevance in this is to make the use preferred owing to it flexibility. E-resources need to offer the end user flexibility not to visit the physical library to access the information. The web-based resource makes multiple accesses to similar resource possible and this reduces the congestion in the physical library facilities. The ease of congestion will serve to improve the learners experience as-well-as reduce the workload to source moderators.

Implications for Improvement of Practice

Introduction (could be longer. Include mandatory teacher ongoing certification standards)

Ongoing staff development has long been a vital part of the educational environment. It is the means by which the faculty and staff of a school system are kept current in educational trends, technologies and philosophies. In a diverse society, social pressures felt in the classroom are continually making the teaching process more challenging.

In the past few years alone, the advance in computer capabilities and in-home computer gaming equipment has affected the attention span of the average student. Elementary and secondary education students have a different paradigm as to what is interesting. Thus the challenge in the classroom to grab, hold, and mold the students attention have changed. An effective teacher must be aware of these changes,…

Re: How does browser incompatibility impact web applications?

As you are no doubt aware, the mid-1990s are now looked back upon as the years of the web browser wards between Microsoft and its rival Netscape. In the interests of cornering their competition, each of these companies seemed determine to build the proverbial mousetrap of a better browser and create a browser with proprietary features that would demand rather than solicit customer loyalty and attract the best web designers to their systems. Often in the interest of commerce one company would copy the most consumer-popular features of the other browser into their browser, but implement these features in such a fashion that the new, more exciting addition were incompatible with the rival's browser. But with each successive release of new versions, features would be often inconsistently implemented even within…

Computer and Web Ethics

The term "computer ethics," as coined by Walter Maner in the 1970s, refers to a field of study that examines "ethical problems aggravated, transformed, or created by computer technology" (Maner, 1980). Maner suggested that persons engaged in computer-related actions should apply traditional ethical frameworks, such as Kantianism and Utilitarianism, to govern their decision-making. While Immanuel Kant's virtue ethics are rooted in respect for all people and an inherent respect for virtuous character traits -- such as kindness, honesty, patience and humility -- Utilitarianism judges the morality of an action according to "the greatest good for the greatest number" rule (Stanford Encyclopedia, 2011).

Similar to Maner's definition, Deborah Johnson, author of Computer Ethics (1985), defined computer ethics as a study of how computers "pose new versions of standard moral problems and moral dilemmas, exacerbating the old problems, and forcing us to apply ordinary moral norms to uncharted…

web on database processing?

Before the event of the World Wide Web, database processing was relatively limited to one database area, within one system of complied computer data. In other words, in a medical office, patient records had to be entered by data entry staff into a singular computer database, but could not be shared with another office if the patient was seeing another physician in another office, unless a currier brought a disk or printed files to the office. Now, if a patient was seeing a physician in another office, that patient could have his or her records immediately accessed by the office through the use of the World Wide Web technology. The introduction of information sharing via the World Wide Web can potentially prevent misunderstandings, misinformation, and generally increase the ability of individuals to be better informed about the specifics of their financial or physical condition, and the…

The best approach for younger children is to read the story to them and stop and explain any new words or concepts. Older children, in third and fourth grade, can read the book and discuss some of the more difficult themes. The idea is to incorporate the book into the world around the children, as Wolf (2004, p. 11) states: "When we take up literature in multiple ways, through who we are and how we think and communicate with others, we are engaging in literature. The words of the story lift off the page and enter into our social worlds. Rather than simply reading and comprehending text on a basic level, we are actively constructing meaning." The comments of the children can often move the discussion, "their social lives can come into full play in these conversations, and they can choose to express their interpretations through multiple modes, including talk, writing, art, and drama." was pleased to see the movie release this year. This is truly a special book, which has such positive and important messages for both children and adults. When Charlotte's Web was first published, Eudora Welty reviewed it for the New York Times Book Review and declared it "just about perfect."

Weaving the Web

Tim Berners-Lee is credited with co-creating the World Wide Web and still participates in the World Wide Web consortium to oversee WWW protocols and regulations. The World Wide Web (WWW) was designed to add more functionality to the already existing Internet. In his book Weaving the Web, Berners-Lee describes the relationship between the World Wide Web and the Internet. The Internet provides the underlying structure and infrastructure for the World Wide Web, but the latter is the user-friendly, interactive, and dynamic means of cross-computer communication. The basis for the success of the WWW is hypertext.

In the Forward to Weaving the Web, Michael Dertousos of MIT notes, "As technologists and entrepreneurs were launching or merging companies to exploit the Web, they seemed fixated on one question: 'How can I make the Web mine?' Meanwhile, Tim was asking, 'How can I make the Web yours?'" This comment lauds…

Humans are parts of food chains and food webs, too. here on a food web would you typically find humans (near the bottom with the producers, at the top with the carnivores, or somewhere in between)?

Human beings are found near the top of food webs and chains. e are not carnivores, but omnivores, meaning we can eat both plants and animals. There are some animals which prey on human beings, but there is no animal that feeds exclusively or nearly exclusively on animals.

Social Web and Technology: Moving Humans Into Uncharted Territory

The internet has changed the way humans interact with each other in every way. It has helped shape an entire generation of social interactions as well as helped people learn in ways that were not possible before. Within these interactions, the very roots of society are created. S these interactions have changed media and shape, the preferences and habits of socialization have changed as well. As a technology, social web has given people the ability to connect with other people and places that were at one time inaccessible. It also gives people unfettered access to information through first hand reports and stories. This access to information on a global scale is also changing the way socialization occurs.

Human beings have always had a certain access to information, whether within a small group or over technologies like TV, radio, or printed media.…

Once Charlotte's eggs hatch, ilbur is excited to meet her children, hoping to find the type of friendship he had with their mother. However, ilbur is again reminded that friendship is different, and that he saved the eggs for Charlotte, rather than for himself, when almost all of Charlotte's children leave the barn. However, some of them, like ilbur, are runts, and are too weak to…

Factors to Consider hen Evaluating the Impact of Single Page Apps

http://www.cio.com/article/2380593/enterprise-software/factors-to-consider-when-evaluating-the-impact-of-single-page-apps.html

ith more mobile devices on the planet today than people, IT needs a way to streamline development of applications for web, mobile web, and native mobile users to realize cost savings and improve customer experience; technology giants such as Google and Twitter have leveraged what is known as Single Page Application (SPA) web development for more than five years, and now SPA is taking off in large enterprises. These website typically have the feel of an "app" which is something that users have come to expect and include SPAs like Gmail, Google Maps, and Twitter among many others.

A SPA will perform better on a low band-with connection that can be easily viewed on different kinds of devices. Because the separation of concerns between the client and server code is an accepted fundamental…

Google Cluster Architecture

"Web Search for a Planet: The Google Cluster Architecture," IEEE Micro, Mar-Apr., 2003, 22-28.

The central idea of this IEEE Micro article is that Google has designed a search engine which is energy efficient, reliable, and so cost effective that it allows them to provide superior service. The article begins by pointing out that every request to a search engine requires complex computations. When Google gets a request, it reads hundreds of megabytes of data and uses tens of billions of CPU cycles. With thousands of such requests happening every second, Google's infrastructure compares in size to a supercomputer installation! Energy efficiency and price-performance ratio are the most important factors to its design. Easy parallelism is the main priority so that different queries can run on different processors (the overall index is partitioned so that a single query can use multiple processors).

Google's architecture provides reliability by…

In terms of working in a Web 2.0 start-up, it appears the best ones are those that compliment existing business processes including transaction management. The author points out that these Web 3.0 start-ups are much more attuned to unmet business process needs and therefore stand a better chance to surviving and growing in the midst of challenging economic times. The conversational nature of Twitter, the threading of conversations on FriendFeed and the Facebook and MySpace approaches to defining relationships still defies monetization. For this reason alone it would be best to seek employment and begin a career with a Web 3.0 company is focused not on enabling collaboration so much as they need to be focused on how to meet unmet needs and deliver value over the long-term.
