Jules May asked: We 'd be the first to admit that there are dozens - hundreds - of Web site programmers out there. But not all programmers are the same. Here, we present our humble guide to the Internet Programs species. Quant0 recognize? The days of KiddieThese code, schools teach children how a Web page and how to do Powerpoint. It 's part of the national Curriculum.Why don' t that schools never learn? Twenty years ago, did the same thing with BASIC. A generation of adolescents, thinking could write programs, used their toy computers and their superficial knowledge of BASIC school book to write and trade programs estimate - without the benefit of all trade or experience to estimate at all! A generation of small businesses went bust because they were fairly mute rely on these programs toy computers that run on the toy. And now, it 's that happens again. The teenagers are leaving school thinking that they know plan, but really without a clue. Every teenager has a computer, every teenager can obtain a copy of Dreamweaver or Interdev and all the teenager who wants a bit of extra money is suddenly in trade, colpente out the Web site from his bedroom. Nobody would open a language translation with nothing but the French school book. None dream of giving advice without structural engineering for Mathematics High School anymore. So why schoolchildren up and down the country they believe can program the Web site without most of the classroom? They 'VE seduced by the technology. The difficulty is that a modern web browser is a very helpful thing - for a minimum investment of effort you can get some stuff attractive and nicely animated looking good as most commercial sites (and in many cases, much better). All the deceptive stuff, the stuff behind-the-scenes, the real programming, they 'the VE never actually seen any of that. It 's not taught aa school (it' s too hard to invent evidence about the programming), of course, precisely because it 's behind the scenes, it' s never seen in commercial places. For a teenager, the extraordinary sophistication of Bebo or Myspace is just the same as that they 'VE made to the school: * In an exercise of the school, you can model a database with some complex, hand-crafted pages. But there 's no database there and the Web site won' t scale of the real Web site .* must drill in the school, you can sense the fixed-plan provisions that seem right on school computers, but fall to peaks when used with the tools of accessibility. (See the graphic arts mad) * an exercise in the school, you don 't need to even think of the data proteggenti, because you' re not allowed to know something about someone and you 're not allowed say anything even if you did. Programmers real don 't regard to these exercises as a Web site. The real programmers consider them as models - views that may help to understand how the Web site is doing real work, but ultimately pointless as those of mobile phones display-model without the innards that are on display in supermarkets. The Lego EngineerOf course, not all adolescents is that naive. There are some out there who understand that a Web site needs a degree of interactivity. And they know exactly provide it! Subscriptions! The way it works is this: instead of programming of incorporation need in your Web site, other people have already done the hard work for them and have included in their Web site. All you have to do is to tell your their Web site, hit on some leather and there you have it - instant professionalism!. It seems that what behavior you want, subscription services are out there .* you want to sell the stuff? Rent and-buy! * Do you want a catalog animated? Subscribe to a sewage service! * Want to email? Commit to yourself! * Want to talk about how great you are? Configure your blogspace! * You want your customers to talk about how great you are? Slot in a gallery! And your web developer, just select these services out of a shelf, grooves together like Lego bricks and - shots, pop "- a moment Web site! A cheap, quick, sure! But there are problems with using the subscription services. What is all boil down: control. Or rather, lack thereof. You see, when you use any of these, you don 't have your data, ago. And that means: When you need subscriptionsActually, I 'm that does not suggest that all subscription services are defective. Some are actually very good and some are almost essential (such as fulfillment services credit card). For very small, the Web site of the toy, subscriptions are a really good sense to get going quickly and economically. And everyone has a place in which your Web site is still largely beyond your control (such as an eBay store - whether in a service subscription). * No secret: they can read all the data you 're conservation. Your responsibilities of the DPA out of the window! * No loyalty: they can modify or delete data they 're representation. The places ordinarily include free ads (often for your competitors) in their pages - sometimes right in your meet! All services have editorial controls to protect them from litigation in what country seem to be functioning in any property .*: may limit your ability to load or programs which support your own data. You do not have backups .* nessun'affidabilità real: All the scans from time to time. The free services are not protesting in any reliability, but the paid-for services shut off if the stop to pay the costs either direction, it 's that you look stupid if half of your site goes missing! * No technical resistance: These companies routinely run to change the way their Web site. Sometimes the service falls just outside your place, awaiting some remedial programming and sometimes things just go matte. Each time you use any of these, you 're giving up control. Whenever cosegnate one of your guests to rise subscription, the service now has full control of what appears in "your" Web site. At least they 'll be on is promoting their service next to whatever you want to say. Every time you pass over a guest, they 'll notice that the graphics change a po'e know they' re not in Kansas anymore. And if you want to ever take the service back under your control, they 'll is the thing that can stop. If you pay a fee or not - if you don 't subscribe, don' t the gains. So they want to keep. That 's why: no support. The graphic arts LoonyYou 'd think, wouldn' t that a graphic designer rid of mice exactly one a Web site? At least, you 'd think he' d can design a beautiful Web site? But the funny thing is, some of the world 's most defective, less usable Web site is attributable to the madness of graphic arts! For the most part, graphic designers have full control over what they 're working with. Decide the size and the shape of the page, in which the visual elements are going to be positioned as the text works with the images, even as the luster on paper can be controlled. They work really hard to achieve a harmonious and effective at. When graphic designers begin designing Web site, take the same approach - they do exactly that 'the VE taught to do in art school. But a Web page isn 't the same as every piece of paper. The designer has no control over the format or even the shape of the window, the viewer ago. In fact, the designer can 't even control the format of the text, because the page may be visited by a user that has partially sighted text format tremendous result, or a normal-sighted user that is squinting at a mobile phone . You may even be completely blind and are using a voice synthesizer to read a page to him. And even without these difficulties, the designer has no control over software that the viewer is using - pages of each browser shows a po'in a different way. And so the designer crazy ago the first of his two cardinal mistakes. It tries to take control of the visitor 's calculator Generate a provision that requires hard the entire surface of a screen high definition. It 's beautiful, to be sure, but it' s tough, as the board. So when those annoying people don 't automatically uses its entire screen, the arrogant fool gives instructions: "Better to 1280×1024 noted FireBrick in the sunlight" in the evening;. Replaces the text (which he can 't control) with little image (which can, but you can' t). If everything you 'the VE has obtained the corner of the screen of a laptop computer, or you' re using a mobile phone, or contact your goals are gone all the confused, what are you supposed to do? I guess that the designer would consider crazy that you 'the VE has not obtained the commerce that is on its creation - you should find a place of ugly for WAP browse preferably! The second major mistake is camouflage. Features and meaning (what in the trade of drawing is called "affordance") is sacrificed to design integrity. The madman shall provide the keys that don 't look for the keys to the images that make and all species of thingumajigs that incite a sense only once you know operate the Web site. The Web site seems great, but it doesn 't tells him how to use it. And so, it doesn 't get used. And that, basically, is the center of loony 'error s. A graphic designer is interested only obstinate to the screen itself. To him, it 's the area that is interesting. But the visitor to a place, but can appreciate the performances, want to reach through the screen by the graphics, the Web site and do something. Just as the owner of the Web site, the visitor is interested in what 's behind the screen. And this kind of design it just prevented from entering. Flash HarryYou 'VE seen the flash - it' s the thing that makes those small windows with animations alarms in them. Treated correctly, the flash is really good .* it ena
