Web 2.0 for Designers

Enter Web 2.0, a vision of the Web in which information is broken up into "microcontent" units that can be distributed over dozens of domains. The Web of documents has morphed into a Web of data. We are no longer just looking to the same old sources for information. Now we're looking to a new set of tools to aggregate and remix microcontent in new and useful ways.

...

There are six trends that characterize Web 2.0 for designers.

...

1. Writing semantic markup (transition to everything XML)
2. Providing Web services (moving away from place)
3. Remixing content (about when and what, not who or why)
4. Emergent navigation and relevance (users are in control)
5. Adding metadata over time (communities building social information)
6. Shift to programming (separation of structure and style)

The simplest configuration is described. It assumes you already have Tomcat 5.5 and Apache 2.0 (instructions for Apache 1.3 is also provided) installed and running. The instructions are applicable (have been tested) for Windows as well as Linux platform. Assume you want to map test directory of Apache to the mytest web application of Tomcat. Change [...]

hi, I've never posted here before but I hope you guys can help me with something.
What do you guys think about Coldfusion? Is it easy/hard/good/bad? I hear that most webdevelopers prefer not to use it. However, for some reason I have to use it for a project. Does anyone any good sites that can help me learn it?
thanks

I need help with creating a calendar in css, can someone help me out.

This is what I have to do:

1. I have to create a new blank file and save it as caldendar.js

2. Then within the file, I am supposed to insert a function named calendar() that has a single parameter named "caldate". The caldate parameter stores the date the user wants hightlighted in the calendar.

3. Within the command block of the calendar() function, I am to create an array named "MonthName" that stores the names of the twelve months. Th first element in the array, MonthName[0] should have a value of "January" and completes the rest of the array similarly.

4. Then I am to create an array, "DayName", that stores the three letter abbreviations of the seven weekday names, starting with DayName[0] ="Sun".

5. After the DayName array, I am to create a date object variable named Calendar_Day. If the value of the caldate parameter is equal to "today", set Calendar_Day equal to the current date and time; otherwise, set Calendar_Day equal to the date specified by the caldate parameter. (Hint: use the command: Calendar_Day = new Date(caldate)).

6. Use the getDate(), getMonth(), and getFullYear() methods to extract the day of the month, month number, and four-digit year from the Calendar_Day variable. Store these values in variables named ThisDay, ThisMonth, and ThisYear, respectively.

7. Then I am to use the doucment.write() method to write the following tags to the Web page:
<table id="calendar"> <tr> <th id="calendar_head" colspan="7">Month, Year</th> </tr>

Where [I]Month, Year[/I] is the name of the month and the four-digit year. (Hint: use MonthName[ThisMonth] to display the name of the month; use the ThisYear variable to display the year value.)


Now this is what I have done?
<script type="text/JavaScript"> function calendar(caldate); var Month = new Array() { Monthname [0] = "January"; Monthname [1] = "February"; Monthname [2] = "March"; Monthname [3] = "April"; Monthname [4] = "May"; Monthname [5] = "June"; Monthname [6] = "July"; Monthname [7] = "August"; Monthname [8] = "September"; Monthname [9] = "October"; Monthname [10] = "November"; Monthname [11] = "December"; var DateName = new Array() Datename[0]="Sun"; Datename[1]="Mon"; Datename[2]="Tue"; Datename[3]="Wed"; Datename[4]="Thu"; Datename[5]="Fri"; Datename[6]="Sat"; Calendar_Day = new Date(caldate)) } </script>

8. I am to create a For loop that writes a table row containing seven table heading cells. The For loop should generate the following HTML code:

<table id="calendar"> <tr> <th id="caldendar_head" colspan="7">Month, Year</th> </tr> <tr> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Sun</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Mon</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Tue</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Wed</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Thu</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Fri</th> <th class="calendar_weekdays">Sat</th> </tr>

I don't think I did any of this right, so can someone point in the right direction.

Hi, I'm new to the community, my skills in terms of web development is I only learn things I need to know and today I'm looking for a lesson in cron jobs. My goal is this. To send a picture from my camera phone using e-mail to a special e-mail account I've set up on my site and to use a cron job to extract the .jpg image and put it into the root level of my webspace (and if possible to rename the file) I've got the scheduling part figured out in that my webpanel has a special cron job set up and all I need now is the magic code that will check my e-mail, extract the file and place it in the directory. I'm pretty sure that's what I need, but I can be easily persuaded otherwise. Other info you might need...my e-mail is POP? the mail server is mail.loudestnoise.com? the e-mail address I want to use is c@loudestnoise.com. Please web dev masters. show me the light. eh i guess I need to use a language such as php or perl to accomplish this. also something I know little about.

I have no friends on this journal, yet I want to ask questions, and learn. So I'll be crossposting for a while for (1) information, and (2) the hope of finding design friends who I might have more than design in common with, but who understands what frustrations of being a designer!

So that said, I have the following question(s):

I'm going to start a new portfolio for my work - web based and paper as well. When you guys begin any project, what is your process: Do you sketch it out first? Work out the "look" of it in photoshop and then begin moving it into html or flash or whatever? I'm curious to know how my process differs from other designers.

Generally I start with a sketch, move that to photoshop, and then to html/flash. Is there better ways to go about it? What different things do you take into consideration when beginning a design project such as a portfolio?

I hope I haven't annoyed too many people!

my small company IT department is meeting with the MS exchange/sharepoint folks to implement.

we will be using a lot of the web based client

how accessible is the web based client in other browswers besides IE? is it still relatively functionable? does it take away from the experience by using firefox or netscape?

any help would be appreciated.

37 Signals says:

Google is essentially clicking every link on the page -- including links like "delete this" or "cancel that." And to make matters worse, Google ignores the Javascript confirmations. So, if you have a "Are you sure you want to delete this?" Javascript confirmation behind that "delete" link, Google ignores it and performs the action anyway.

We discovered this yesterday when a few people were reporting that their Backpack pages were "disappearing." We were stumped until we dug a little deeper and discovered this Web Accelerator behavior.

Hey, I really need some HTML help fast, so i'm lucky I found this journal! Here's the deal, I have to make this website for a school project, it's due Monday. Here's the link: http://www.geocities.com/liz9357//Home1.html?20056

All I want to do is make those 3 paragraphs at the bottom be up farther so they are next to my links. They were originally like that and I started messing around trying to do different things with the HTML and they ended up down way to far. any help you can give would be great. I'll check back on here later tonight, but if anyone is feeling really generous feel free to im me on AIM at Love2hateme87.

This is going to sound mightily gormless.

But Iasked before how to change my comment links and how to get message counters and stuff. So I was nicely referred to the the how to website where I could get the codes.

But now I can't find my oveeride box. Anywhere. Is this got to do with my layout being Generator?

My video card has a DVI, VGA and S-Video port. I currently use both the VGA and DVI port to extend my desktop. However, when I have an S-Video cable patched in, my secondary monitor seems to get a blue hue. Also, when I disable the TV output, the 2nd monitor is a bit blurry. This not only happens in Windows, but on the POST screen as well. Simply unplugging the S Cable seems to remedy it, but I hate the think this card can only do a main and a secondary monitor OR a TV. ATI does not seem to offer any kind of *good* support, even after an email and a trouble ticket. After not being able to resolve it, I uninstalled the old video drivers, and installed the newest ones from ATI's website (Hydravision: 3-25-000, and Catalyst: wxp-w2k-catalyst-ccc-8-121-050322a-022141c-english)

Any thoughts all? Thanks!

Just as a lark, I'm creating a boyfriend application website (using Dreamweaver MX). There will be some radio-button answers (yes, no, multiple choice stuff). What'd I'd like to do is when they click on a wrong answer, I'd like to have the site flip to a customized error page.

Example:

23) Have you ever been convicted of a felony?
(*)Yes
( )No

If they answer yes, then they get a page saying something like:

Error, your application has been terminated. Have a nice day.

Is such a thing possible & is it relatively easy to set up?

Here's an obscure one.
I'm looking for a web page where you can submit an URL and which returns the source code of that web page.
There's http://www.wannabrowser.com but I want to be able to bookmark the results. Actually, I want to be able to ChangeNotes the results but the needs are the same - I don't mind having to build query strings myself.

Essentially, what I'm trying to set up here is an alert for when a site's source code changes. Any ideas?

I found a website in Google which fetches the LJ content of php_dev, is it the official site of PHP-Dev Community?

If it is so, then i'll suggest some changes in that website and we can try the code i wrote in my earlier post. Also we have many efficient web designers in this community who can design that site very nicely.


BTW, did anyone find the solution to identify the LJ-Cut? What acidofil wrote against my earlier post about Lj-Cut, am afraid that LJ-cut can't be recognised in that way through RSS. If anyone can give the code then it'll be helpful

OK, now a few months back, this site started popping up for no reason, no matter what. It pissed me off so I ran adware and spyware checks and cleaned everything out. But it still din't stop. It kept popping. So then just recently I decided to search for the name of the website on google. Turns out it's a big "hijacking" thing and there's a way to remove it. It's called sgrunt. The point is, the help that was offered and the solutions were very confusing and it was pretty much for the computer literate, which I'm not. So if anyone knows about this and can help me in a simple way, please please. This is becoming very annoying and distrubing and...I just hate it.

Again, it's called sgrunt. So if anyone can help me. Please do!
