What is web usability
Ref:
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/web-development/usability/The web site quotes some points about the importance of the web usability. For example, if the loading time of the web site is slow, most visitors will not come again. It also points out on how to improve the web usuability like "Improved consistency in navigation flows".
This is a short and easy understand web page. Hope you enjoy it.
The use of font
Ref:
FONT FACE considered harmful When we use a "beautiful" font type, we should deeply consider of it whther the reader has the font type. Since not all users are like us will be installed a lot of font type in the computer. So, we should use common font face like time new roman, arial etc. during develop the page. If we really want to use a special character like Greek character, I think we'd better to use picture instead. At least more readers can read it.
Free web site translation
Ref:
Free Translation web siteThe is pretty interest web site that can trnaslate your language of web site into another language version.
Sample:
My Chinese version blogAlthough it is not accurate enough, it is still useful if the web site did not have other language version and you want to read the web site like japanese web. It can translate the web page from Japanese to English.
Color match
Ref:
http://www.colormatch.dk/In the lecture, we learn about color theory.
I've found a site which provide a color match service. That means, if we want to use orange in our web site, it will suggest what else of colors we can use in the other part of the page. It is good for the web developer who is not familiar with web page design and color. It can help them to develop a better web page.
The use of Javascript
As what the w3schools.com said, JavaScript is used in millions of Web pages to improve the design, validate forms, detect browsers, create cookies. However, there is some web applications use javascript to verify the user input in client-side but not no more checking in server-side. It is very dangerous that some hackers may modify the page to skip the javascript checking and submit some unwanted data to the server.
Before we learn the syntax of a programming language, we should studay the properties of this language. Other the w3schools.com, I've found some other sites which is useful for learning javascript.
