SETVOLUME MUSICPLAYER ANDROID HOW TO
SETVOLUME MUSICPLAYER ANDROID UPDATE
We will be setting up two sliders that control the seek slider and the volume slider. The loadTrack() method defined above is used for loading the new track. The index is reset to the first track when the index reaches the last track. Similarly, a function nextTrack() handles the loading of the next track and moving the index forward. The index is reset to the last track when the index reaches the first track. The playpause() function handles the actual play/pause control of the track.Ī function prevTrack() handles the loading of the previous track and moving the index backward. These two functions are invoked depending on whether the track is currently playing or not. This is done by using one of the icons from the FontAwesome library and inserting it using innerHTML. The icon of the button also changes back to the play icon. The pause() method of the HTMLMediaElement API is used for this function. This is done by using one of the icons from the FontAwesome library and inserting it using innerHTML.Ī function pauseTrack() handles the playing of the currently loaded track. The icon of the button also changes to the pause icon. The play() method of the HTMLMediaElement API is used for this function. The effect is animated by using the transition property on the background-color.Ī function playTrack() handles the playing of the currently loaded track.
SETVOLUME MUSICPLAYER ANDROID UPDATE
The media element has two event listeners added to it, the first one to update the current seek position and the second one to load the next track when the current track finishes.Ī coloured background is generated by randomising the red, green and blue values used and setting it as a color. The track details are fetched from the array and assigned with the help of the textContent property. The track art is fetched from the array and assigned with the help of the backgroundImage property. The load() method is then used on the audio element to get the track ready. It may be given any path from the filesystem or a URL. The audio element is assigned a new source using its src property. This prevents the jumping of the seek slider while the new track loads. Reset all the values of the previous trackĪ resetValues() function is created which handles the resetting of the duration value and the slider to their initial values before a new track starts.To load a track, a function loadTrack() is defined which handles the following things: Each of the tracks can then be accessed using its track index. These objects contain properties like the name, artist, image and path to the track. Step 2: Loading a new track from the tracklistĪll the tracks that have to be played are defined in the tracklist as objects.

How I sense and perceive spirits: the browser analogy
I write because I love to share ❧ My beliefs are not universal, universally good, or universally helpful ❧ This post is full of my personal beliefs, practices, and UPG ❧ Take from it what you will and leave the rest behind ☙
There seems to be a misconception about spirit work that all spirit-workers physically see spirits.
It's been my experience from several years spent in witchcraft and spiritworking groups that such people are actually a small minority.
This leads to confusion from some about how they are supposed to be perceiving spirits. This is what I experience. I hope it will be a helpful description to anyone trying to figure out some of the ways they can perceive the spirit world.
In this extended analogy:
RAM is how much processing power I have in my noggin
Data is how much metaphysical energy I can work with before my circuits get fried
Batteries are my overall energy for my entire self :)
Let's jump in to computer brain time!
My spiritual or psychic perception takes place within a certain tab in my mind-browser. This "tab" might also be called a mindset or headspace.
I open my psychic tab (not great to have it loaded and running 24/7 IMO)
I enter the URL of the spirit, energy, or space I'm trying to perceive
I wait for the URL to connect and load
My tab renders the information into a format I can understand
This process may be very quick on good days (less than a second) or take a long time and hardly come through on bad days - like how a website loads for 5 minutes and finally comes through as jumbled text without the CSS.
I believe the challenge for beginners therefore is learning their own system settings to figure out how to open this tab, and then developing their RAM and data caps so they can run it more often.
Everyone's psychism tab processes and renders information differently.
The information that fills my psychism tab is often visual and spatial. Some people's tabs get filled with scents, audio files, or are populated with their own memories or mashups of familiar media. Everyone is different.
When the URL loads for me, my tab is going to usually show me a visual rendering that indicates location, size, and appearance.
Sometimes my tab is an augmented reality page that copies what my face-eyes are seeing, and spatially overlays a spirit ("it's over there in that corner").
Sometimes I will see the appearance of a spirit like a .JPG or animated .GIF, and there is no augmented reality portion.
Sometimes it's a .txt file that says "SPIRIT NEAR"
Sometimes it's a .bat file that starts playing a snippet of a song or or a scene from a show.
It can be lots of things for me :)
All the tabs I have open take up a chunk of my RAM.
If I'm having trouble loading my psychic tab, closing some of the other tabs first is helpful.
Sadly, some of them are run by the system admin and as an end-user I'm not allowed to close them ^-^;;
And it can take a really long time to close them.
If I can only run my psychic tab and almost no other ones, that is going to create an immense connection. But I rarely do that.
You know how if you go to a website and they're using a typeface you don't have, your browser replaces it with one of your system defaults?
Well I get that too!
If I'm trying to connect to a URL and a portion of it can't be loaded into my tab, it will be defaulted to the nearest rendering I already have in my cache.
For example, there is a certain type of spooky spirit common in my town. I see them as being very similar to Gengar pokemon. Now they don't all actually look like that. Gengar is just their default icon. If I have a lot of tabs open and suddenly my psychic tab populates with a .JPG of a Gengar, I know that this type of spirit is nearby.
If I want to switch focus to that tab and refresh, in a few moments its actual, individual appearance should load. Maybe even an augmented reality so I can see where it's located. This takes more effort and energy, of course, so I might not do it at all (especially if I need to recharge my batteries, or if I'm close to my data cap).
Taking the time to individually load spirits and energies is very informative and helpful.
It installs a greater variety of icons into my system, so as time goes on my default icons become more nuanced and informative, meaning I get more information with less effort in the moment.
Sometimes, I neither have the RAM/data available to process a URL, nor will I have a suitable default icon stored in my cache.
When this occurs my brain does a neat trick: it leaves the browser cache folder and goes into the entire hard drive of my system to find the closest matching substitute.
99% of the time, this substitute is a character or archetype from the media I consume (which makes me very, very interested in the power of storytelling). But it can really be anything.
Psychic Tab: *ping! Picture cannot be loaded* Me: ??? *tabs over* Psychic Tab: Auto-Generated Picture ID: A memory of when you were ?eight?, ?standing? in front of a tree. You ?thought? the tree was a ?person/alive/friend? and you wanted to be ?its friend/a tree?. Me: "Ahh, perhaps a nature spirit wants to be my friend."
My psychic tab updates depending on the actions I take.
Suppose I see the Gengar icon and I take a banishing action:
If I've got lots of RAM and data left, my tab might update in realtime.
If I'm low on RAM or data, I might have to hit the refresh button myself. I should see a difference in what the Gengar icon is doing; it should change poses, or have a different expression, or be turned around to walk away, etc.
My psychic tab doesn't exist in a vacuum.
It's going to bleed over into my emotions tab, my analytics tab, my vibe check tab, my historical records tab, and so on.
So it's not just me relying on the psychic tab for everything. I might switch back and forth a lot to double-check information in lots of various ways.
Huge protip for beginners!: Learn how to close your psychic tab :)
All tabs take up processing power. All tabs have side-effects (for better or worse). Keeping your psychic senses open 24/7 is not only draining, but it can have serious side-effects and overall really limit your ability to effectively deal with what's going on in your other tabs.
(To extend this analogy, constructed mindscapes where you commune with external spirits are like chatrooms, which I'm mentioning because I think it's cute way to think about things ^-^)

CRLT + ALT + DELETE
Summary: The Avatar of Envy has one wish and the new human exchange student has the ability to grant it. Probably. Maybe not. It's possible?
Characters: Leviathan & MC (Platonic relationship)
Warnings: None
Word Count: 1161
A/N: Finally got writing again and this is what I do. So I had to learn some programming/coding/whatever stuff for a writing class. Do not ask why a writing class needs coding knowledge. Just tell me what's wrong with the audio. 
You can read this on AO3. 
DUE TO OTW’S RECENT ACTIONS CONCERNING PALESTINE I HAVE UPLOADED THE FIC HERE ON SQUIDGEWORLD INSTEAD.
Tumblr media
Your local Avatar of Envy was all-round a difficult demon to deal with. Somehow both believing himself above others, yet feeling inferior, it had been difficult to get him to see you as an equal, let alone tell you anything deep about himself.
Which was why, when he texted you about his dream of becoming a programmer, you jumped at the chance to help him. Who knows, maybe it would get him to stop calling you a normie. You could dream.
“So, you really know how to program?” Levi had let you into his room (without a password!) the minute you texted him your proposal.
“I said I know a little. Some HTML, CSS and very little JavaScript—though let’s not do JavaScript. It’s a bastard and a bitch.”
“Oooohhhhh that tech-talk sounds so coooool!”
“… Well, if that’s what you think. Please keep your expectations low.”
However much you pleaded Levi to keep his excitement to a minimum, he continued to babble about all the things he would be able to do. You dread telling him that some of the stuff he wanted to do really needs more than HTML and CSS … You really should’ve thought this plan through. You didn’t even check if the Devildom version of the internet used the same languages as those in the human realm.
“Oh oh think of all the games I could make myself! So many games tailored to MY interests.”
… You REALLY should’ve thought this plan through.
“Er, Levi, I only know basic web design and that sort of stuff,” you tried reasoning with him, but he was too far off in his fantasies.
You fidgeted, setting up your laptop on his frankly messy and overcrowded desk. It was one you had brought from the human world. You had been clutching it when you were suddenly transported to the Devildom: a good thing for your current situation. It had a text editor and all your notes on CSS and HTML (what? You couldn’t be expected as an amateur to remember it all). It had a document on JavaScript, but you were so bad at it that you ignored it. You bargain with yourself on the pros and cons of tackling JavaScript, but reasoned that you could ignore it for a little longer since you have a program that could create some simple text-based games. Considering he was in wonder at literally everything that came out of your mouth that sounded vaguely techy, you’re sure anything would please him at this point.
“O-okay, well enthusiasm is a good starting point. But let’s focus on the actual programming now.” You place your hand on his shoulder, successfully getting his attention.
… A little too successful it seems as his face becomes a deep red and his excited ramblings devolve into a mess of stutters and incoherent silent screeching. You snatched your hand back. “Sorry,” you mumble, opting to just wave him to the chair. He follows your direction, stiff, but regains his excitement he’s face-to-face with the opened text editor program and the PDF documents behind it.
“Ooohhhh, I am SO ready! Alright Normie, show me what you can do.”
“WHAT DID YOU DO?”
“I DOOONN’T KNOOOOOOOOW.”
You panic to shut down the program, all the audio Levi had input onto the program playing way too loud all at once with the images overlapping each other, trying to battle each other to be the one to display properly.
“AHHHHHH THIS IS LIKE THAT SCENE FROM THAT OLD ANIME ‘I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN HIT BY A RAY BEAM THAT’S CAUSED ME TO——”
“NOT NOW LEVI!”
Maybe if the two of you weren’t yelling at over each other and the audio it would’ve been a snap to shut it off. But adrenaline (and the fear of Lucifer barging in and subjecting you to a four-hour lecture) makes people do dumb things. Dumb things like turning up the volume to MAX.
“AHHHHHHHH DELETE DELETE DELETE.”
“OH YEAH SURE, I’LL JUST DELETE THE SOUND CONTROL, WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA LEVI.”
In that moment, as you turn your head to yell at your friend, you make a series of angry blind clicks, resulting in the Bluetooth connecting to something.
“Uhhh … Levi, please tell me the Devildom doesn’t have Bluetooth.”
“What? Man, you’re such a noob. We tend to just steal technology from the Human Realm since we don’t have programmers here (and theft and plagiarism is like all the rage here) so of course we have Bluetooth! It’s called Devil’s Tooth down here and——”
You hear a click overhead, echoing in the halls outside and in Levi’s room.
“… What in the House of Lamentation has its Devil’s Tooth on?”
It only takes half a second before the two of you jump into action, scrambling over the keyboard and mouse to shut down the malfunctioning program, barely just——
SCREEEEEEEEEECCCCHHHHHHHH
It seems what the Bluetooth connected to was some sort of house-wide speaker system that the House of Lamentation inexplicitly has.
Levi slid down, off the chair and under the desk, his face pale, fumbling to get his headphones over his ears. Like that would protect anyone. “This is it. This is how we die. Lucifer is hunting us down as we speak. I’m never going to see the finale of ‘Help! I got trapped in another dimension with the girl I hate the most in the world, but after a while it turns out she’s not so bad and wait I actually think I have feelings for her, what do I do?!’ and the new update that was supposed to come to Mononoke Land next week and the limited edition release of Sucre Frenzy’s signed album covers and the——”
In the middle of his ramblings, you finally gain enough peace of mind (and deafness from the projected hell sound) to force the laptop to shut down: the sudden silence covering the room.
“… Levi.”
“Y-Yeah?”
“Are we certain that Lucifer is home?”
“W-We could’ve lucked out I suppose … Y-yeah, we could be fine! Geez, you had me worried there normie.” You choose to ignore the chance to counter with the knowledge that he was the one panicking the most.  “All good we are. Continue lessons we shall.” His instant mood shift had you reeling, trying to grasp onto the threads of the conversation. “Okay, so I think I know what I had wrong. I didn’t give the command to stop the audio! Yeah, yeah, that’s gotta be it. How complex could it be? Okay let’s check out those tag things and——”
The door creaks open, the dark aura entering the room announcing the presence of a certain dark-clothed demon.
“DELETE DELETE DELETE DELETE!”
“That doesn’t work IRL Levi!”
“So,” Lucifer said as he finally steps completely into the room with an unsettling smile and stress lines straining on his forehead, “you two sound like you’re having fun.”
“WE’RE SOOORRRRRRRRRY!”

What to Look For in a Web Design Program
You've decided that Web design is the career for you. You're ready to jump into the game, but you're going to need some education on how to design Web sites first. However, with literally hundreds of schools offering courses in every possible permutation - Web site design or graphic design with a focus on Web sites; certificates or full degrees - how do you decide which program meets your needs?
Tumblr media
Skills taught in a Web Design program
Web site designers require a vast array of skills, not all of which are (or can be!) taught in the classroom. However, there are certain skills that all Web designers should know. First among these is HTML (HyperText Markup Language) code, which comprises the building blocks of the Web. All Web sites, no matter how fancy or how focused on Flash animation, consist of HTML at their core.
Although most designers now use Web editing programs such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver to design Web sites, in order to understand what is actually happening when the Web site loads, you need to know HTML. For entry-level positions, this markup language can be enough, but for more advanced positions, you should learn one or more other markup languages, such as XML (eXtended Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), as well as one or more scripting languages, such as JavaScript
and ActiveX.
You will also need to learn the basics of making a Web site look neat and professional. Although it may seem elementary, there are a wide range of techniques involved in creating a Web site that flows well. A logical site is designed to allow the user to quickly understand the purpose of the Web site, and to easily find the information he or she needs. Although this is obviously more of an art than a science, there are many techniques that help users navigate each page within a site more effectively and quickly. As a Web
site designer, you should be fluent in these techniques.
To work on Web sites, you'll also need to understand the basics of how a computer operates. These technical skills enable you to set up and modify the Web site. Being able to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) clients to add pages and upload site changes is paramount. So is being able to modify the site contents manually by using text editor software. Some of this software allows you to view changes instantaneously, such as the Real-Time HTML Editor, which is available online. Other text editors are included with your
office computer, or can be installed, enabling you to work on site contents outside of a site editing program.
Finally, depending on the specific career path you have in mind, you may need to have other skills. If you are focusing more on the graphic design aspect of Web design, you will need to focus on learning about vector and raster graphics. Raster graphics, comprised of grids of tiny pixels, are dependent on the size and quality of the image - photographs are raster images, for example, and can look blurry or sharp, depending upon image size and resolution. Vector graphics use geographical points and coordinates
instead of pixels, and can be resized without losing image quality. Typography, or the art of choosing and using fonts and typefaces, is also important. Page layout, or the skill of combining pictures, text, links, and animated images on a Web site to create a pleasing overall design, is also very important.
If, however, you are more interested in the technical aspects of maintaining a Web site, you will need to focus more on server administration, namely by learning to use Web server software (such as Microsoft IIS or Apache), and understanding how to run log analysis so you can track who visits the site, and how frequently you receive unique visitors. There are other specific domains in the field of Web design, including site optimization, security, usability, and quality assurance. Each sub-specialty in the Web design field requires the knowing the design basics described above, plus additional skills which you can learn in class and on the job.
In summary, these are the type of Web design classes you can look forward to taking:
HTML and other markup/scripting languages
Web site graphics and layout design
Some technical skills necessary to publish a Web site
Other skills related to the specific type of Web design career you want to pursue

I'm sitting on a stool at my desktop instead of my laptop this morning. You can spin around on it and point to the person on the left or right of you. There's nobody here as usual. Something that has been the same since I don't know how long. It's a good reminder sometimes that I get through a lot of things alone in this city. Yesterday I went to get coffee at Blue Bottle with my gear. I set up on the other side of the river in a chair. It's about the closest you could get to a New York vibe if this were as diverse and exciting as New York. I spent enough time there to take some notes about the wattage from the panel and the direction of the sun. These days I gauge how happy I am by how long I can sit in public and go unbothered. It's hard to go unnoticed now when you are me. Some people would claim that's a great thing. Celebrity opens so many doors. All of them are closed for me. Nobody speaks directly to me in public. Indirectly is another story. People still remember me as the guy who wears all the funny text on his clothes. I've been a lot less font oriented this season in terms of fashion. I've been dressing down considerably in comfortably fitting urban camping gear. Setting up a solar panel by the river is a vibe that fits that. I've read companies like Chanel were investing heavily in solar. It's not a bad idea. I get the same charge from the sun for my portable generator as I do from my outlet. I've never tried plugging it into anything else but it's 35 watts steady with no clouds or people standing in front of it. People definitely like to be seen out here. Mostly around me. It's like when people think you are a big deal here they'll test themselves against you. And that's about ninety nine percent of the traffic that tries to invade my personal space. I used to yell and scream about it. Mostly because I was overwhelmed by it. Yesterday was no different. The pinnacle was the Hare Krishna Yacht that made it a point to patrol the inlet chanting at the shore while drifting by. The secret about Illinois is that people love to shove their freedom in your face. Most of the time it's religious freedom. That goes hand in hand with tax evasion and racketeering for the most part. But Chicago is like that. When you talk about corruption, it's on parade every day here. Give yourself long enough in public and a group of them will track you down to use you as a soapbox. This is an every day thing with me. So much so that you have to read into every act of aggression as a terrorist act. This includes cutting the internet with no explanation. If you try to explain it, you'll end up on loop in your kitchen stomping the floor. Gaslighting that is running out of gas. There's more in heaven where that came from I guess.
It's gotten so out of control that it's hard to leave your doorstep without wondering if some revolutionary action is about to take place. I honestly have spent more than every waking moment trying to assess the threat. It would make sense if you had a cybersecurity skillset this would be the norm. My apartment these days is accountable as nearly seventy five percent of my office. I guess that's why they call it a studio. What I do behind closed doors when my internet connection isn't being stolen lies in the realm of "zero trust." It's a way to say anything that isn't safeguarded behind a layer of network security or three is not trusted. I trust these days when I go to the grocery that there are about two or three spotters on every trip. The same people wander by me two or three times every ten random blocks. It gets to be something of a nightmare. When I come home I shut the door and bask in the cabin fever. Which is why the river is a nice getaway for late summer. But with all this celebrity you wonder why anybody wants to be seen. It doesn't pay my bills exactly. There is a thing called investor confidence. But really my financial recovery is something I've held very close to my chest. Sure I make jokes about it. I invest in things I believe in. Clean energy, companies empowering women, and maybe even animal well being. But it always cuts into somebody's bottom line. Whose bottom line would be a question to ask this city. Nobody ever talks to me. And yet I'm supposed to read into their T-shirts they parade around me in a stalking fashion. The last one was literally a print of an article from a tabloid called the Cut. It read simply "I am a prisoner of my own vanity." Just a half hour before, a mediocre white man with a seafoam gildan peacocked in front of my solar panel. The words simply read "unplug." Was it a demand? I don't know. All I know is that right wing Christians have found a way to grief me on near terrorist levels. And it gets old trying to deal with it while everyone else pretends I'm some revolutionary. I'm just Tim. Meanwhile, people never talk. Never communicate. Simply stare off with a self satisfied smile that they know more about me than I do. It's all scary fucking shit when you have to process it daily. I don't bother processing it. It's sort of jumped the shark completely at this point. I know what I know and I don't actually know anything. I'm not part of some secret cadre of people. I don't literally have any information about where I'm going. Who cares about me is a very understood kind of thing. Nothing definite. Nothing guaranteed. I'm afraid to seek employment in this atmosphere particularly in this city because of social engineering. I'd rather save my money and wait for a clean exit. And therein it looks like if nothing happens by my birthday, I will need to flee somewhere alone altogether.
I don't actually think this will happen. There's a lot of good things that have happened over the last year. Financially things have been better than they've ever been. More so that I manage it better and no longer have debt. So much so that when I come home from an appointment, there are Christians protesting on my corner yelling at me directly. "Your bank account won't get you into heaven!" Does this sound familiar? Religious sects abusing your privacy to threaten you with religious persecution. This is Illinois. The sooner you get that these people are digging their own grave the better. People act like I'm the problem after abandoning me for over a year. The disgruntled worker's revolution from my old job is avenging my erased memory by forming a union without acknowledging I exist except to stalk me in the grocery aisle. Maybe that's why they've been following me around. Or is it the mob? Or is it the gangs? Or is it the police? I don't care who the fuck it is. You fucking bother me and it's dumb. Everybody expects to be part of a movement that nobody can call by name. I have one you know. It's called Tim. Less timid and more intimidating. I don't apologize for it. If I did I'd be dead by now. I'm grumpy for sure. Who wouldn't be when your civil rights have been pissed on daily like it's some moral play. All the stuff I bitch about is one hundred percent transparent and true. I guess that makes me a writer. A writer who can't generate any income from anything except mining ethereum and updating css on decade old websites for spare change. I have been isolated and alone. I have been better off because of it. And people just wait on the sidelines ready to dig their fingers into your corpse. I hate it here. I fucking literally hate everything about this town. These people. Their fucking silent expectant looks. Pay attention to me. Understand my pain. Listen to my problems. Fix this unfixable thing like you always do. It gets old. It gets dumb. And it doesn't get better. So I spend less money. I participate in less bullshit. I try to work out my anger in private. And nothing I can do fixes or changes anything. I reach out to the proper authorities and get no response. It only gets more invasive and dumb. And I just start getting more cocky and sardonic. I don't like being angry. I'm a very gentle person. I love animals. I love nature. I see things delicately and am constantly appalled at the barbaric and overbearing nature of the public. Everybody has something to say but never listens. Everybody has a comment for their soapbox but you never learn anything from it. Everybody is so hell bent at winner takes all that they'll break everything to squander it. I'm more about win win than anybody knows. And behind the scenes where I trust hardly anything I still think I'm winning through all of this. Regardless of what you see when you stalk me in the streets. You don't know shit, Chicago. <3 Tim

Equivalent Experiences: Thinking Equivalently
Constructing identical expertise could mean dynamical the means you think that regarding development and style, and potentially reevaluating your existing work. during this article, we’ll address common accessibility problems, and the way to best set about up them thus everybody will effortlessly access your content. This is the second of two articles on the topic of how digital.This is the second of two articles on the subject of however digital accessibility is enlightened by equivalency. Previously, we've got learned concerning the underlying biases that inform digital product creation, what identical expertise isn’t, the combination effects of inaccessible style and code, and powerful motivating forces for doing higher.
In this article, I will be able to discuss learning the way to embrace identical, comprehensive mentality. I will be able to additionally offer sensible, sturdy ways that to enhance your internet sites and web apps by providing solutions to common, everyday barriers cited by the individuals I interviewed. Setting a standard Setting a regular The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG ) outlines in conscientious detail a way to craft accessible digital experiences. whereas a protracted and dense document, it's unbelievably comprehensive — to the purpose wherever it’s been written as a global commonplace. For over ten years, we’ve had a globally arranged, canonical definition of what constitutes as usable. Can we?If you would like a bit facilitate constructing the initial mental framework the WCAG gets at, an issue I perpetually raise myself once creating one thing is, “How would i exploit this if…” It’s an issue that gets you to examine all the biases that may be moving you within the moment.

Introduction
If you’re looking for a more approachable resource for how to dig into what the WCAG covers, the "
Inclusive Design Principles
" would be a great place to start. The seven principles it describes all map back to "
WCAG success criterion
".  
Its considered best if we learn from people who are actually using it.
You don’t need to apply my words in this. Below there are some basic problems  Wayfinding
Headings
Heading elements are incredibly important for maintaining an equivalent, accessible experience.
When made with talent and care, heading parts enable screen reader users to quickly verify the contents of a page or read and navigate to content relevant to their interests. This is often resembling however somebody may quickly flit around, scrolling till one thing that appears pertinent comes into read.
Justin Yarbrough
voices poorly-authored heading elements as a concern, and he’s not alone.
WebAIM’s screen reader survey
cites headings because the most vital thanks to realize data. This survey is well-worth being attentive to, because it provides valuable insight into however disabled individuals really use helpful technology.  
Landmarks
An addition to heading parts, in a different way to work out the structure and layout are
landmarks
. Landmarks are roles implicitly delineated by HTML(markup language sectioning parts), wont to facilitate describe the composition of the most page or read areas.
Here’s what Justin has to say:“If I’m just trying to find the main content, I’ll first try the Q JAWS shortcut key to see if a main region’s set up. If not, I’m just more or less stuck trying to scan the page to find it arrowing through the page.”
Much as however we'd use a layer cluster name of “primary nav” in our style file, or a category name of c-nav-primary  in our CSS, it’s vital we tend to conjointly use a nav sectioning component to explain our main website navigation (as well as the other navigation the page or read contains). Doing thus ensures intent is carried all the approach through from conception, to implementation, to use. a similar notion carries through for the opposite hypertext markup language sectioning parts that make landmarks for helpful technology.
Labeled Controls
Brian Moore
tells us about “form fields with no label or at least one that isn’t programmatically associated so it doesn’t read anything.”It’s another
frustratingly common problem
.
Providing a legitimate for/id  attribute pairing creates a programmatic association between type inputs and also the label that describes what it will. And after I say label, I mean the label part. Not a clickable div, a placeholder, aria-label, or another brittle and/or distraught answer. label components square measure a tried-and-true answer that enjoys wide and deep support for accessibility. In addition, a label part mustn't be employed by itself, say for a label on a diagram. This might sound counter-intuitive initially, however please bear with us.In addition, a label element should not be used by itself, say for a label on a diagram. This might seem counter-intuitive at first, but please bear with me.
<!-- Please do this --> <label for="your-name">Your name</label> <input type="text" id="your-name" name="your-name" autocomplete="name">   <!-- Don’t do this --> <label for="eye">Cornea</label> <label for="eye">Pupil</label> <label for="eye">Lens</label> <label for="eye">Retina</label> <label for="eye">Optic Nerve</label> <img id="eye" alt="A diagram of the human eye." src="parts-of-the-eye.png" />
The same varieties of helpful technology that permit} an individual jump to headings and landmarks additionally allow them to leap to input labels. Attributable to this, there's the expectation that once a "label" component is gift, there's additionally a corresponding input it's related to. Alternative Descriptions
If you've got low or no vision, and/or have problem understanding a picture, HTML’s ALT attribute (and not the title attribute) provides a mechanism to know what the image is there for. a similar principle applies for providing captions for video and audio content like podcasts.
Kenny Hitt
, mentions that when …someone posts something on Twitter, if it’s just an unlabeled image; I don’t even take the time to participate in the conversation. When you start every conversation by asking what’s in the picture, it really derails things.”
Up until last week
, the only way for Twitter to
provide alternative descriptions for its images
was to enable an option buried away in the subsection of a preference menu. Compare this to a platform like
Mastodon
, where the feature is enabled by default. Soren Hamby, mentions garment worker, a preferred podcast app. “The on boarding was plenty of themed graphics, however the altitude text for everyone was ‘unselected’ and for identical image with a analyzeit had been chosen. I believe it might be affordable for them to mention ‘sci-fi genre selected’ […] it’s such a tiny low factor however it makes all the distinction.Ensuring that alternate description content is succinct and descriptive is simply as vital as as well as the flexibility to feature it.
Daniel Göransson, a developer for Axess research laboratory, includes a nice article on a way to write them effectively. Robust, accessible options may also be a part of analysis criteria, in addition as an excellent methodology for building client loyalty.
Soren mentions that they're “often the deciding issue, particularly between services.” above all; they cite Netflix’s audio descriptions. Aria
One topic Daniel Göransson’s article on different descriptions mentions is to not over-describe things. This includes info like that it's a picture, WHO the creative person is, and keyword stuffing.The same principle applies for Accessible made net Applications (ARIA). ARIA may be a set of attributes designed to increase hypertext mark-up language to fill within the gaps between interactive content and helpful technology.
Brian explains: “There looks to be a perception that a lot of ARIA fixes accessibility and it will facilitate, however an excessive amount of either reads wrong things or simply talks approach an excessive amount of.  If on screen text of 1 or 2 words is nice enough for everybody else, it's ok for screen reader users too. we tend to don’t want whole sentence or 2 descriptions of buttons or links i.e. ‘link privacy policy’ is way higher than one thing like ‘this link can open our privacy policy, this link can open during a new window’ once the on screen link text is ‘privacy policy.’”Provided that you utilize the acceptable native hypertext mark-up language part, helpful technology can handle all of that for you. Do more, additional robustly, with less effort? Sounds nice to me!
Unlike most of hypertext markup language, CSS, and JS, the success of enforced ARIA is discourse, variable, and mostly invisible. In spite of this, we have a tendency to appear to be slathering ARIA onto everything while not bothering to envision not providing it truly works, however additionally what the those that truly use it think about it. Support for ARIA is fragmented across operational systems, browsers, and helpful technology offerings, all their individual versions, and each potential permutation of all 3. Simply put, writing ARIA and trusting it'll work as meant isn’t enough. If misconfigured and/or over-applied, ARIA will break. it's going to not report actual practicality, announce the incorrect practicality, and (accurately or inaccurately) over-describe practicality. Obviously, these experiences aren’t equivalent.   Representation matters. to induce a far better understanding of however the ARIA code you wrote truly works, i like to recommend hiring folks to inform you.
Here are four such services that do specifically that:·
Accessible360
·
AccessWorks (by Knowbility)

Fable Tech Labs
·
Perkins School For The Blind
Contrast
Color Contrast
Color distinction is another common issue, one whose severity usually appears to be downplayed. If I may wager a guess, it’s as a result of it’s straightforward to forget that alternative people’s vision may well be totally different than your own.
Regardless, it's a priority that affects a large swath of the world population, and that we ought to treat the difficulty with the seriousness it deserves.
The Click-Away Pound Survey tells US that out of the highest problems Janus-faced by users with access wants, distinction and legibility weighs in because the fifth most important issue.
On high of that, it's enhanced as a priority, going from four hundred and forty yards of respondents in 2016 to fifty fifth in 2019.
We board an age wherever there’s additional color distinction checking resources than I will count. Product like Stark will facilitate designers audit their styles before it's translated into code.
Tools like Eightshape’s distinction Grid and Atul Varma’s Accessible color palette builder allow you to craft your style systems with sturdy, accessible color mixtures out of the gate.
The somewhat ironic issue regarding color distinction is however, ah, visible it's. whereas a number of the previous accessibility problems area unit invisible—hidden away because the underlying code—contrast could be a pretty easy issue.Mostly, distinction could be a binary state of affairs, therein you either will or cannot see content.
So, following time you check your web site or webapp with an automatic accessibility checker like Deque’s axe, don’t be thus fast to downplay the colour distinction errors it reports.
High Contrast
There square measure technology solutions for things wherever even satisfactory color distinction ratios isn’t sufficient—namely, inverted colours mode and High distinction Mode. Several participants I interviewed mentioned victimization these show modes throughout their daily laptop use.  Provided you employ linguistics markup language, each of those modes don’t want a lot of effort on the event finish of things to figure well.  The vital bit is to visualize out what you’re building in these 2 modes to create certain everything is functioning as meant.  Striving For Perfection To quote

cites headings because the most vital thanks to realize data. This survey is well-worth being attentive to, because it provides valuable insight into however disabled individuals really use helpful technology.  
Landmarks
An addition to heading parts, in a different way to work out the structure and layout are
landmarks
. Landmarks are roles implicitly delineated by HTML(markup language sectioning parts), wont to facilitate describe the composition of the most page or read areas.
Here’s what Justin has to say:“If I’m just trying to find the main content, I’ll first try the Q JAWS shortcut key to see if a main region’s set up. If not, I’m just more or less stuck trying to scan the page to find it arrowing through the page.”
Much as however we'd use a layer cluster name of “primary nav” in our style file, or a category name of c-nav-primary  in our CSS, it’s vital we tend to conjointly use a nav sectioning component to explain our main website navigation (as well as the other navigation the page or read contains). Doing thus ensures intent is carried all the approach through from conception, to implementation, to use. a similar notion carries through for the opposite hypertext markup language sectioning parts that make landmarks for helpful technology.
Labeled Controls
Brian Moore
tells us about “form fields with no label or at least one that isn’t programmatically associated so it doesn’t read anything.”It’s another
frustratingly common problem
.
Providing a legitimate for/id  attribute pairing creates a programmatic association between type inputs and also the label that describes what it will. And after I say label, I mean the label part. Not a clickable div, a placeholder, aria-label, or another brittle and/or distraught answer. label components square measure a tried-and-true answer that enjoys wide and deep support for accessibility. In addition, a label part mustn't be employed by itself, say for a label on a diagram. This might sound counter-intuitive initially, however please bear with us.In addition, a label element should not be used by itself, say for a label on a diagram. This might seem counter-intuitive at first, but please bear with me.
<!-- Please do this --> <label for="your-name">Your name</label> <input type="text" id="your-name" name="your-name" autocomplete="name">   <!-- Don’t do this --> <label for="eye">Cornea</label> <label for="eye">Pupil</label> <label for="eye">Lens</label> <label for="eye">Retina</label> <label for="eye">Optic Nerve</label> <img id="eye" alt="A diagram of the human eye." src="parts-of-the-eye.png" />
The same varieties of helpful technology that permit} an individual jump to headings and landmarks additionally allow them to leap to input labels. Attributable to this, there's the expectation that once a "label" component is gift, there's additionally a corresponding input it's related to. Alternative Descriptions
If you've got low or no vision, and/or have problem understanding a picture, HTML’s ALT attribute (and not the title attribute) provides a mechanism to know what the image is there for. a similar principle applies for providing captions for video and audio content like podcasts.
Kenny Hitt
, mentions that when …someone posts something on Twitter, if it’s just an unlabeled image; I don’t even take the time to participate in the conversation. When you start every conversation by asking what’s in the picture, it really derails things.”
Up until last week
, the only way for Twitter to
provide alternative descriptions for its images
was to enable an option buried away in the subsection of a preference menu. Compare this to a platform like
Mastodon
, where the feature is enabled by default. Soren Hamby, mentions garment worker, a preferred podcast app. “The on boarding was plenty of themed graphics, however the altitude text for everyone was ‘unselected’ and for identical image with a analyzeit had been chosen. I believe it might be affordable for them to mention ‘sci-fi genre selected’ […] it’s such a tiny low factor however it makes all the distinction.Ensuring that alternate description content is succinct and descriptive is simply as vital as as well as the flexibility to feature it.
Daniel Göransson, a developer for Axess research laboratory, includes a nice article on a way to write them effectively. Robust, accessible options may also be a part of analysis criteria, in addition as an excellent methodology for building client loyalty.
Soren mentions that they're “often the deciding issue, particularly between services.” above all; they cite Netflix’s audio descriptions. Aria
One topic Daniel Göransson’s article on different descriptions mentions is to not over-describe things. This includes info like that it's a picture, WHO the creative person is, and keyword stuffing.The same principle applies for Accessible made net Applications (ARIA). ARIA may be a set of attributes designed to increase hypertext mark-up language to fill within the gaps between interactive content and helpful technology.
Brian explains: “There looks to be a perception that a lot of ARIA fixes accessibility and it will facilitate, however an excessive amount of either reads wrong things or simply talks approach an excessive amount of.  If on screen text of 1 or 2 words is nice enough for everybody else, it's ok for screen reader users too. we tend to don’t want whole sentence or 2 descriptions of buttons or links i.e. ‘link privacy policy’ is way higher than one thing like ‘this link can open our privacy policy, this link can open during a new window’ once the on screen link text is ‘privacy policy.’”Provided that you utilize the acceptable native hypertext mark-up language part, helpful technology can handle all of that for you. Do more, additional robustly, with less effort? Sounds nice to me!
Unlike most of hypertext markup language, CSS, and JS, the success of enforced ARIA is discourse, variable, and mostly invisible. In spite of this, we have a tendency to appear to be slathering ARIA onto everything while not bothering to envision not providing it truly works, however additionally what the those that truly use it think about it. Support for ARIA is fragmented across operational systems, browsers, and helpful technology offerings, all their individual versions, and each potential permutation of all 3. Simply put, writing ARIA and trusting it'll work as meant isn’t enough. If misconfigured and/or over-applied, ARIA will break. it's going to not report actual practicality, announce the incorrect practicality, and (accurately or inaccurately) over-describe practicality. Obviously, these experiences aren’t equivalent.   Representation matters. to induce a far better understanding of however the ARIA code you wrote truly works, i like to recommend hiring folks to inform you.

Contrast
Color Contrast
Color distinction is another common issue, one whose severity usually appears to be downplayed. If I may wager a guess, it’s as a result of it’s straightforward to forget that alternative people’s vision may well be totally different than your own.
Regardless, it's a priority that affects a large swath of the world population, and that we ought to treat the difficulty with the seriousness it deserves.
The Click-Away Pound Survey tells US that out of the highest problems Janus-faced by users with access wants, distinction and legibility weighs in because the fifth most important issue.
On high of that, it's enhanced as a priority, going from four hundred and forty yards of respondents in 2016 to fifty fifth in 2019.
We board an age wherever there’s additional color distinction checking resources than I will count. Product like Stark will facilitate designers audit their styles before it's translated into code.
Tools like Eightshape’s distinction Grid and Atul Varma’s Accessible color palette builder allow you to craft your style systems with sturdy, accessible color mixtures out of the gate.
The somewhat ironic issue regarding color distinction is however, ah, visible it's. whereas a number of the previous accessibility problems area unit invisible—hidden away because the underlying code—contrast could be a pretty easy issue.Mostly, distinction could be a binary state of affairs, therein you either will or cannot see content.
So, following time you check your web site or webapp with an automatic accessibility checker like Deque’s axe, don’t be thus fast to downplay the colour distinction errors it reports.
High Contrast
There square measure technology solutions for things wherever even satisfactory color distinction ratios isn’t sufficient—namely, inverted colours mode and High distinction Mode. Several participants I interviewed mentioned victimization these show modes throughout their daily laptop use.  Provided you employ linguistics markup language, each of those modes don’t want a lot of effort on the event finish of things to figure well.  The vital bit is to visualize out what you’re building in these 2 modes to create certain everything is functioning as meant.  Striving For Perfection To quote

Development after feedback
I have made the font sizes bigger on the skills check title and in the buttons. I have also changed the text to “please select any categories that you feel like you already have skills in, are good at or you enjoy doing”, this is because previously I have mentioned about inmates literacy skills all being different so I think I need to limit the amount of reading in the web-app, especially large amounts all at once. 
Tumblr media
I have started working on the ‘help’ page, this is a similar layout the to ‘extra skills’ page as they both have the same use on the webapp, where the user can input information and submit it. I have added a dropdown menu where the user can select the subject that most suites the reason they are contacting their coach, this makes it easier for the coach to categorise what messages are most important to reply to.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have decided to use buttons that the user can select as this is the style I used in the skills check section so it makes sense to lay it out like this and I think design wise it works better than the dropdown too. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have decided to remove the ‘your account’ section of the webapp as there was only a small amount of information I could include in that section therefore it meant there was a large amount of negative space and it almost made the page unnecessary as it was a collection of information that is already specified on other pages. 
Juan suggested I add a hover feature to the log in button as there is animations like this on the other pages so I have added a hover feature where the colour of the button changes when its hovered over.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seen as I took the ‘my account’ page out of the webapp, I needed a page that the program would take the user to after submitting their extra skills answers otherwise it was taking them straight to their work which didn’t flow right. I have started to make a welcome/landing page that the user will be taken to after submitting their answers. 
Tumblr media
When the user enters this page the text will fade in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I like the use of the blue border around the white background on the welcome page so I decided to use it in the work pages too as I want the design to be coherent throughout the program and I feel that adding these borders adds extra dimension to the title and makes it stand out more.
Tumblr media
Another thing I want to look at adding to the program is animations between the pages as at the moment it jumps between each page which I think looks a bit like the webapp is lagging and it makes it look less professional and like a real-world webapp, I think it will improve the user experience.
I have started adding a fade-in effect to each page when you open the page.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m not completely happy how this transition looks between the pages so I want to try out some other code I can use to get it exactly how I imagine it to look.
I managed to create an animation where the page went from small to big on the page but I don’t particularly like this either. The thing I’ve found when researching animations in code is that a lot of the examples that come up include JavaScript which I am not experienced in and for this webapp I am just using HTML and CSS so this is holding me back a bit in regard to what I can achieve.

Things to Consider in a Web Site Design App

Skills educated in a Internet Site Design application
Site designers demand a huge collection of skills, perhaps not a lot that can be (or may be!) Educated in the class room. But, there are particular skills that most Internet designers ought to understand. First one of these is HTML (HyperText Markup Language) code, that comprises the inspiration of the internet. All Internet websites, however elaborate or focused on Flash cartoon, include HTML in their center.
Even though most designers use Internet editing programs like FrontPage or Dreamweaver to create Internet websites, as a way to comprehend what's actually happening as soon as the net site heaps, you want to understand HTML. For entry rankings, this markup language may be sufficient, but also for more complex positions, you need to find one or other markup formats, for example XML (eXtended Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Stylesheets ), also as a couple of scripting languages, including Java Script And Active X.
You'll even have to discover the basic principles of producing an internet site appear professional and neat. Even though it might appear basic, you can find always a large selection of methods involved in making an internet site that escapes well. A logical website was made to permit an individual to quickly know the goal of the internet site, also to readily locate the information she or he needs. Even though this is clearly more of an art form than a science, then there are lots of methods that help users browse each page within a site more effortlessly and fast. As a Internet Site designer, so you need to be fluent in such methods.
To do the job on Internet sites, you can also must comprehend that the basic principles of how the computer functions. These technical skills allow one to install and alter the internet empresa diseño web Zaragoza. Having the capability to utilize FTP (File Transfer Protocol) customers to incorporate pages and upload blog changes is overriding. Therefore is having the ability to alter the website contents by using text editor program. A number with the computer software lets you see changes immediately, like the realtime HTML Editor, that can be found on the web.

If you're focusing on the graphic design element of internet design, you'll want to concentrate on researching vector and raster images. Raster images, included of grids of small pixels, are all determined by the dimensions and caliber of the image - photographs are all raster graphics, as an instance, and are able to seem sharp or fuzzy, determined by image resolution and size. Vector images use geographic factors and coordinates
Tumblr media
Rather than pixels, and may be resized without sacrificing image quality. Typography, or even the craft of choosing and using fonts and typefaces, can also be crucial. Page design, or perhaps the art of combining text, pictures, links, and animated pictures on a site in order to generate a satisfying overall layout, is likewise extremely essential.
If, nevertheless, you might be more enthusiastic about the technical facets of keeping up an internet site, you need to target more on server management, especially by learning how to utilize Internet host applications (like Microsoft IIS or Apache), and also focusing on just how to conduct log analysis and that means that you may track who visits your website, and how often you receive particular traffic. There are additional special domains within the business of web site structure, including site optimisation, usability, security, and quality guarantee. Each sub-specialty from the Internet design field demands that the knowing the look principles explained previously, and additional skills that you'll be able to learn in class and at work.
In Conclusion, these are the type of Web Site Design courses you can anticipate to accepting:

Can anyone suggest an accessible web browser? for photosensitive readers?
I’ve been using Firefox 84, with numerous accessibility hacks, but:
1. It’s not entirely accessible.
2. It’s not enough to protect against standard web design.
I need to be able to set:
1. a readable font in a readable size (done in Firefox),
2. without text overlapping other text (not done),
3. with decent contrast between foreground and background in readable colors (sometimes done using about:reader and css to fix about:reader).
I need to be able to count on:
1. page down, scrolling software, and my keyboard (not done).
I need to be able to block:
1. animated gifs (done in Firefox),
2. animated pngs (done),
3. other autoplaying sound of video (only some types blocked in Firefox),
4. all strobe effects (not done),
5. blinking cursors (done),
6. animated headers/animated top bars (not done),
7. non-scrolling sidebars (not done, and some built into the prefs),
8. non-scrolling backgrounds (not done),
9. any elements which won’t scroll with the rest of the page (not done),
10. any elements which initially scroll but then animate, change size, or jump about, because pain is engagement is good (not done),
11. any elements which animate, change size, zoom, etc., in response to scrolling, mouseover, etc. (not done).
12. any zooming animation, carousel animation, side-scrolling animation, jitter animation, toaster animation, parallax animation, pain animation, animation pain, pain pain, and other pain (not done).
13. smooth scrolling, autoscroll, and auto-smooth-painscrolling (not done).

Week 3 (14/9-18/9)
I have to admit, I thought I had written about this week but apparently not so I’m writing this post a couple of weeks after it occurred but I will try to be as detailed as I can. Since I am writing this some time after I will also include thoughts and reflections about our process. 
It’s the last week and I am feeling stressed. This week has been all about working on the square and making it work. A big problem we have had is to make it move in a smooth way. We have tried to do it stepwise but it doesn’t look very good, when googling we also found a way to put a maximum size and a minimum size on it and then add a transition with CSS. The problem here is that we don’t really want it to just go from small to big or big to small but rather be reactive all the time and show small little changes as well as the big ones. We were given a small code snippet last week to turn the size into percentages and then it should be easier to have it change dynamically to the sound. During every coaching we are also hammered with the fact that we need more nuance which I get, but it is really hard to think about. It has to be an interesting interaction because that what it is all about after all. Right now, what we had at the beginning of the week was mostly a visualisation of the sound. At this time I was feeling very insecure about asking for help, both from teachers and fellow classmates. I always felt like I disturbed my classmates or felt stupid for not understanding. Since we had gotten this code I thought in the lines that we are supposed to understand this and work with it. What i didn’t realise then is that all of us struggled a lot with it. During the last couple of days we received A LOT of help from another group that was pretty far along already. They didn’t do everything but they helped us with most of the logic. We based the size of the square to the decibel of the assigned bucket which made it constantly change since the volume of the noise changed. Now it just needed some fine tuning because it was almost too sensitive at this point, it was fidgeting all over the place and was very hard to make sense of. But the people helping us had encountered a similar problem and put in what we called a gain, that lowered all the highest values and made it look less sensitive. 
Since sound is different depending on the environment we sometimes have to change what buckets the square reacts to but it wasn’t a very big problem. Usually it was about the same when you whistle so I usually did that for one of the inputs and then a tone generator for the other one. Around this time the week was already going towards Friday and the show ‘n’ tell which meant we really had to add the nuance. Coding in this module took forever compared to the other two and I realise that if we could have gone back we could probably have done such a better job and also gotten it to a more interesting stage with more to it. Of course, I think this is what everyone else feels like and probably how this course usually turns out every year. You get used to the method of working with these fast modules and realising where you should be in the process each week. We spent most of the first week on tinkering and didn’t really get anywhere and since we started fresh this last week we didn’t really have time to add that much of the nuance. In the second module we had gotten a lot further by the second week and could start thinking about inputs. Here, in the first module, we underestimated the input factor and instead got very stuck on the nuance of the square. When losing the input part we lost the skill factor along with it. The module was Skill & Sound and in Dreyfus’ (2002) paper he talks very much about skill-full actions and, though in a very psychological way, there are very important mentioned things we can apply when designing interaction. The different levels of expertise and how we store everything we learn and do for later occasions. How we can think about the learning curve and that we can use humans previous experiences to make the interaction more meaningful or interesting, if it’s challenging what we know or take advantage of our basic skills. It’s an interesting paper but it’s very heavy for me who is not very acquainted with psychology or philosophy, I don’t even quite know what it counts as, psychological or philosophical. 
Back to the module!  On Thursday, very last minute, we managed to get some nuance in there at last. With the very reactive behaviour of the square almost reminded me of something alive. So we wanted to add to that liveliness, making it something you had to get to know and cherish. When getting to know a new person or especially an animal many things can be scary, among them sudden movements or noise. This was something we could apply to our square so when there was a sudden peak in the sound we wanted the square to act like it got startled and to gain back its trust you had to be patient and simply wait for it to come back to you. Whenever this peak occurred the square gets a fixed size and the opacity disappears. It then slowly increases and until it comes back to 100% you can’t manipulate or “hang out” with the square. So you’d have to learn how it worked, what sound it reacted to but not too forward or hectic. The time when you couldn’t manipulate the square differed, this wasn’t actually intentional and I still don’t know why it acts this way but it turned out pretty well.
Tumblr media
SHOW ‘N’ TELL
I am a nervous speaker but the format of this wasn’t too bad actually. I liked that everyone sat down on the same level, it made it feel more like a talk among equals and not as the spotlight was aimed at us in the same way as when you talk in front of the class with the lights out and a presentation on the whiteboard. We got five minutes to talk which isn’t that much, especially when you have things to show at the same time. Of course there is the pressure of making sure everything is working when you show it. It went well, I said everything I was supposed to and so did my partner. I will go through the critique we got as well. I wasn’t very good at taking notes in this module, something I got massively better at since then. 
These are the notes that I’ve written down from the first show ‘n’ tell, it’s so bad I almost don’t want to show them but here we go, let’s make this a learning opportunity! 
“Different visualisations can still be basically the same sort of interaction - Basic same state. Imagine a knob that you amp up or dial down.
Think of something interesting to explore beforehand. Set a “concept” beforehand Scrap ideas and start from scratch. Get a fresh perspective. “leave that and find something else”
Make many iterations, rather than just evolving/changing one
Aesthetics vs organic Nuance of input didn’t match the nuance of output Used a square to not make it a specific thing.”
Alright, so I will try to unpack this and make sense of it. The text that is not bold is critique that others got that I thought was valuable.  Many groups had something that almost worked just like visuals of the sound volume, like ours did a couple of days prior. Some people had done different sketches but the state of the interaction and what was happening on the screen weren’t that different if you started to compare them. They were manipulated by the same values and the input was also sort of the same just a different bodily skill. 
Since this module was the first, all of us were a little lost in what the intended idea of the projects was. It felt like we had been put in a blank empty room and was told to “just do something”. It wasn’t until the the show ‘n’ tell was finished that I had understood that this was about exploring something, unpacking something that could be interesting for our industry and that was why it could be a good method to have an idea of what you wanted to explore so you could figure out different ways of doing that instead of working with your current sketch as a main source of inspiration, there was no real thought behind it. This is why we were recommended to iterate as much as we could and then scrap our sketches at some point and start fresh, but still with the same exploration idea in mind. To get a broader knowledge base and cover more ground. 
And then comes the bold text, I remember they talked about aesthetics vs organic but not exactly what was said. I can imagine that it had something to do with the different approaches among the groups. It was almost that either you had gone for something that looked very aesthetically pleasing or something that acted like an organic creature, like ours. I know a couple of other groups created something animalistic as well. We had a line in our presentation that we got a really good reaction from. “our nuance of input didn’t match the nuance of output”. We said this when talking about the texts that just capitalised or went from smaller to bigger in one jump. It didn’t matter how smooth the whistle or sound was, the length of it or anything really, they just did this stepwise change that didn’t match the feeling of our input. It created a feeling of disconnect from what was happening on screen. They also liked that we had intentionally used a square for it to not be relatable to anything so I’m very happy with that choice. Something I didn’t write down but remember is that an interesting point was that we shifted the control between the user and the square, the system itself. By adding the feature of the faded square that you couldn’t manipulate we give the system momentarily control and time to reconvene its calm. 
This module was really intense, looking back to it now it was very interesting but at the time I just wanted it to be over. I was sick of feeling lost in the process, of course the next modules followed the same pattern but at least then you had this feedback to go on and you had a better picture on how it you could work with these quick and intense projects. I wasn’t really interested in noise and think this was probably the module I enjoyed the least, it was a good module to start the year off with though. You got right in to the practical work and I’m happy this warmed us up for the next ones as they were much more interesting in my mind.

Tumblr media
  Accelerated Mobile Pages, or AMP, is an open-source initiative by Google. In their words, it helps "make the web better for all".
So is this true? Some critics (mostly publishers) say that it will help Google dominate the web. But we can't jump to any conclusions by just considering one perspective.
To help us out, I have divided this article into three sections, so we can consider AMP from three different perspectives.
The first considers the perspective of publishing sites and the people who maintain them. The second considers the perspective of the user. And the final perspective considers Google's take on it, as a search engine.
If you think about AMP from all these angles, you will be able to make the right decision for your website.
Because of this, this article doesn't have a straightforward conclusion as to whether you should or shouldn't use AMP. That's up to you, in the end. This article will just help you to move in the proper direction.
Let's look at our first perspective.
Publishing sites and their maintainers
AMP was launched in 2015, which means it's just 5 years old. So people and sites who have been publishing long before that time might worry that all their articles will suddenly become outdated. But that's not the case. Still, like big companies, they want to resist change.
Their criticism is completely valid from their perspective, as Google AMP has some strict conditions that must be met. For example:
Forget JavaScript (though there are some workarounds). Traditional use of JavaScript is not allowed at all.
If you are creating an AMP version of a page, the AMP version and the canonical page (the original page) should have identical design and functionality.
You can't use external CSS, but instead you have to inline everything. Since that would be inefficient, a customized library is preferable.
This is a minimal AMP page from the Google AMP docs:

Apart from the contents of the body tag, the rest is the minimal amount of code you need to be a valid AMP page.
Anything that can slow down the webpage is either not allowed or has a different format. For example, images have to use the <amp-img> tag instead of just the <img> tag. Similarly iframe and video tags have a different format.
You have complete freedom to use CSS inline the way you want to, except for some CSS animations (as it slows down the page).
If your canonical page has lots of dynamic stuff, like signup forms and carousels, then you will have a hard time creating an identical AMP version.
If you want to avoid that trouble, you are left with two options: either make your canonical page super simple or discard the canonical page and use just an AMP page.
This is what bothers most publishing sites and the people who manage them: Google will have immense control over the internet, which goes against the concept of net neutrality.
Google says it does not favour AMP pages in search results. However, there are rich cards which are only possible via AMP. So, in a way, Google is indirectly forcing you to use AMP to survive.

Google Rich Cards example
AMP also allows only one ad per page, which might affect ad revenue, considering that all your organic traffic will see the AMP version. There is limited support for other ad networks.
You also can't use other analytics providers other than the ones supported.
All these points need to be considered before you make a decision.
But it's not all bad news. Now let's talk about the benefits publishers recieve:
Google shows AMP pages from an AMP cache, which drastically reduces bandwidth usage on the publisher's server. This may or may not be beneficial to you.
Your website will load really fast, because of the severe limitations of AMP. So there is nothing to slow it down. Google also preloads webpages before someone clicks them, so the load time is negligible, apparently.
Your website can appear as rich cards, or carousels if properly configured, which increases the click through rate.
Now the most important thing: AMP implies that your website should be strictly mobile-friendly. And being mobile-friendly is such a necessity these days that websites can't ignore it, AMP or not.
So we've looked at Google AMP from the perspective of publishers. In the end, if you have a web app with a lot of functionality, I wouldn't suggest that you go for AMP. Now, let's move on to the second perspective.
Users
Publishers are the ones who might have trouble implementing AMP on their pages.
As a user, your primary motive is to surf the web. Not many mobile users have great internet speed and a non mobile-friendly and slow website with slow internet speed is the worst combination.
If you are searching for something online, your first priority is getting a result. Not all websites are fast, and even though they may have great content, they will likely suffer if they're slow to load. But Google AMP helps them to be fast and accessible.
A significant portion of any audience these days is made up of mobile users. For example, check out the user distribution of freeCodeCamp based on operating system:
Tumblr media

So, the users are the ones who are and should be benefitting from AMP. Google is a user-centered company. Each and every decision it makes will benefit its users.
As a user, if you are searching for something, you have a very little attention span. You have a whole list of results to go through. If a website doesn't load within 5 seconds, you will most likely move on to the next result.
Let's try to compare the performance difference between the AMP and non-AMP versions of one of my freeCodeCamp articles.
This is the non-AMP version on a mobile device:
Tumblr media
The non-AMP version works fine on desktop (score of 94) but that's because desktops have faster load times compared to mobile devices. But the non-AMP version is pretty slow on mobile devices.
Now let's test the AMP version:
Tumblr media
It's much better than the non-AMP version, especially on mobile. And the desktop score got boosted too (98 this time). This makes it clear that AMP is faster.
But the major performance boost is because Google preloads the results which makes the load time negligible. The load times for the AMP version and Non-AMP version were as follows:
Tumblr media
Load Times for AMP version
Tumblr media
Load times for Non-AMP version
You can see the performance boost you get if you use AMP. And as a user, it's beneficial to you. You don't want to wait for results, you just want to get the answer real quick. And Google tries its best to find the answers for you so that you don't have to search manually.
Google even shows featured snippets for most queries so that you don't even have to open the webpage. Here's an example:
Tumblr media
As you can see, Google tries it's very best to answer questions and make your experience faster. AMP is just a way to make it even faster for users who just want to find an answer quickly.
AMP also makes sure a page looks the same across platforms and browsers, thus removing many limitations of web design. So from a user's perspective, AMP is an absolute win.
Now let's move on to the third, and the most important perspective for our purposes.
Google, as a search engine
Before discussing this perspective, let's summarize what Google AMP really does:
Accelerated Mobile Pages or AMP as the name suggests is a way of designing web pages to improve user experience especially on mobile devices. These pages have workarounds for things that can possibly slow down a page. There are plugins for most dynamic elements like carousels, dynamic lists, forms, and embeds. The content is served from the AMP cache which, combined with preloading, creates a fast loading effect.
There is no one guide for designing a webpage. You have HTML, CSS and your creativity and a blank canvas.
That being said, there are some good artists and some bad artists. If there was a guide to how every page should be, there would be way less variation across pages.
Still, there is the concept of Semantic HTML which helps us organize our web pages.
Semantic HTML is the practice of using meaningful tags for certain parts of a webpage instead of using general <div> and <span> tags for everything. For example, using <h1> for headings, <nav> for navigation, <header> and <footer> for headers and footers, respectively.
So, using <header> is much better than using something like <div class="header">
If every web page was forced to use such conventions, search engines would easily be able to identify what the main content was and display much better results. But, you can't force everyone to use such conventions.
To simplify extracting information from webpages, Google encourages developers to use Structured Data. This is an organised form of what is present on the webpage. For example the structured data of this article is the following:
{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Article", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "freeCodeCamp.org", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/content/images/2019/11/fcc_primary_large_24X210.svg", "width": 210, "height": 24 } }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Abhishek Chaudhary", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/content/images/2020/08/image.jpg", "width": 2000, "height": 2000 }, "sameAs": [ "https://theabbie.github.io", "https://www.facebook.com/abhishek.vice.versa", "https://twitter.com/theabbiee" ] }, "headline": "Is Google AMP the right choice for your website?", "url": "https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/p/efcffd53-9fa2-49ba-a144-9c627fde4d86/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1533292362155-d79af6b08b77?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&q=80&fm=jpg&crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&w=2000&fit=max&ixid=eyJhcHBfaWQiOjExNzczfQ", "width": 2000, "height": 1333 }, "description": "Accelerated Mobile Pages or AMP is an open-source initiative by google. In there words the motive is to "make the web better for all". Whether it's actually true or not is highly debatable, Some critics (mostly publishers) say that this will make Google dominate the web. But we can't jump", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/" } }
Google doesn't rely on this alone, as people might misuse it. But it helps Google understand what is present on the page. These can also help in displaying rich results, for example:
Tumblr media
Rich results for tutorial
The good thing about AMP is that it encourages developers to use structured data. Also, due to the severe limitations, the page has a much cleaner design. This makes the task of search engines much easier.
And almost everyone would agree that cleaner, faster webpages are also important in general.
So how do you decide?
In this article, we saw that AMP is beneficial to both users and Google, and can also be beneficial to publishers if they don't resist change. And everyone is a user at some point.
If you hate slow, non mobile-friendly websites, think about how other users feel, too. A cleaner internet is always better.
That being said, if your only motive is to create a clean and fast webpage, you can do so without AMP too. Just avoid unnecessary components and design efficiently.
This article was an overview of AMP, and its pros and cons. Now you know why it may or may not be useful to you. And just a note - freeCodeCamp uses AMP, and it's great. I hope you make a good decision for your site.
