What
are some of the things to keep in mind when designing an web site
? |
| |
There
are numerous things to keep in mind when designing a good website.
For instance, after your site is on the web, you do realize that
it is viewed by people using different browsers types (MSIE or Netscape),
different browser versions (MSIE 3 or MSIE 5), different screen
or monitor sizes and different types of computers (e.g. Macintosh
or IBM compatible). If considerations to these aspects are not made
while designing, the site will look different in each case. |

What
is JavaScript ? |
| |
JavaScript
is a platform-independent, event-driven, interpreted programming
language developed by Netscape Communications Corp. and Sun Microsystems.
Originally called LiveScript (and still called LiveWireTM by Netscape
in its compiled, server-side incarnation), JavaScript is affiliated
with Sun's object-oriented programming language JavaTM primarily
as a marketing convenience. They inter-operate well but are technically,
functionally and behaviorally very different.
JavaScript is useful for adding interactivity to the World Wide
Web because scripts can be embedded in HTML files (i.e., web pages)
simply by enclosing code in a <SCRIPT> </SCRIPT> tag
pair. All modern browsers can interpret JavaScript. |

What
is CSS ? |
| |
CSS
stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is a simple styling language
which allows attaching style to HTML elements. Every element type
as well as every occurence of a specific element within that type
can be declared an unique style, e.g. margins, positioning, color
or size. |
| |
What
is cache ? |
| |
Caches
come in many types, but they all work the same way: they store information
where you can get to it fast. A Web browser cache stores the pages,
graphics, sounds, and URLs of online places you visit on your hard
drive; that way, when you go back to the page, everything doesn't
have to be downloaded all over again. Since disk access is much
faster than Internet access, this speeds things up. Of course, disk
access is slower than RAM access, so there's also disk caching,
which stores information you might need from your hard disk in faster
RAM. |
