Dynamic web page Dynamic web page: example of server-side scripting (PHP and MySQL). A client-side dynamic web page processes the web page using HTML scripting running in the browser as it loads. JavaScript and other scripting languages determine the way the HTML in the received page is parsed into the Document Object Model, or DOM, that represents the loaded web page. DHTML is the umbrella term for technologies and methods used to create web pages that are not static web pages. Basic concepts[edit] Classical hypertext navigation, with HTML or XHTML alone, provides "static" content, meaning that the user requests a web page and simply views the page and the information on that page. However, a web page can also provide a "live", "dynamic", or "interactive" user experience. There are two ways to create this kind of effect: Web pages that use the first method must use presentation technology called, in a broader sense, rich interfaced pages.

Personal information management Personal information management (PIM) refers to the practice and the study of the activities people perform in order to acquire, organize, maintain, retrieve and use personal information items such as documents (paper-based and digital), web pages and email messages for everyday use to complete tasks (work-related or not) and fulfill a person’s various roles (as parent, employee, friend, member of community, etc.). There are six ways in which information can be personal: [1] Owned by "me"About "me"Directed toward "me"Sent/Posted by "me"Experienced by "me"Relevant to "me" One ideal of PIM is that people should always have the right information in the right place, in the right form, and of sufficient completeness and quality to meet their current need. Technologies and tools such as personal information managers help people spend less time with time-consuming and error-prone activities of PIM (such as looking for information).

Tyranny of dominant decomposition I’m in Portland, Oregon for the SPLASH conference. There’s a lot of energy and good ideas going around. I gave a talk about my project, Poplar, at the FREECO workshop. At the same workshop there was a very interesting talk given by Klaus Ostermann, outlining some of the various challenges facing software composition. He linked composition of software components to concepts in classical logic, and informally divided composition into a light side and a dark side. On the light side are ideal concepts such as monotonicity (the more axioms we have, the more we can prove), absence of side effects and a single, canonical decomposition of everything. One of the ideas that resonated the most with me is the tyranny of the dominant decomposition.
AJAX (תכנות) AJAX, ראשי תיבות של Asynchronous JavaScript And XML, היא טכניקה ליצירת יישומי דפדפן אינטראקטיביים המבוססים על קוד המורץ במסגרת דף HTML בודד, ולא כיישום מרובה דפים, כמקובל בסביבת הווב. מטרתה העיקרית של הטכניקה היא שיפור חוויית המשתמש והאצת מהירות הטעינה של דפי האינטרנט, מאחר שהיא מאפשרת לעדכן רק חלקים מבוקשים בדף האינטרנט, ללא צורך לטעון את הדף כולו מחדש במחשבו של המשתמש. מטרה זו מושגת באמצעות יצירת תקשורת והחלפת מידע בין מחשב הלקוח לשרת דפי האינטרנט באמצעות קוד JavaScript. כלומר, האינטראקטיביות של יישומי AJAX מושגת באמצעות קוד המורץ בצד-הלקוח, זאת בניגוד לשימוש טהור בטכנולוגיות כמו PHP ו-ASP, שבהן הקוד מורץ בצד-השרת, וללקוח מגיע דף HTML סטטי, ולא יישום מלא. כאשר משתמשים ב-AJAX עדיין יש צורך בטכנולוגיית צד-שרת כמו PHP או ASP, אלא שבמקום לשלוח דף HTML שלם, נשלח ללקוח רק המידע, והלקוח מפרש את המידע ומציג אותו למשתמש. טכניקת AJAX משתמשת בשילוב של טכנולוגיות קיימות: יתרונות השיטה: חסרונות השיטה:

Ooze Blog Create a Personal Knowledge Base to Track your Problem Solving History There are many different ways to track your ideas and to-do lists but do you remember them forever? There may have been many times, when you may have solved something difficult but never documented it, because you thought it would never happen again. Now when it does happen again, what do you do? Follow the same steps over and over again, and to be frank how many times do you remember what you exactly did to solve the problem? Image Credit In such cases you could have saved yourself some trouble by having documented those steps, ensuring that you don’t have to start from scratch always. A knowledge base (or knowledgebase; abbreviated KB, kb or Δ) is a special kind of database for knowledge management. There are several simple and open source softwares such as The Knowledgebase, FaqForge, FAQEngine and more to create your personal knowledge database, you can install and run it on your current website or choose to run it on your local machine. If you are wondering what I use?
Adobe Flash Flash manipulates vector and raster graphics to provide animation of text, drawings, and still images. It allows bidirectional streaming of audio and video, and it can capture user input via mouse, keyboard, microphone and camera. Flash applications and animations can be programmed using the object-oriented language called ActionScript. Adobe Flash Professional is the most popular and user-friendly authoring tool for creating the Flash content, which also allows automation via the JavaScript Flash language (JSFL). History[edit] Open Screen Project[edit] As of February 2009[update], the specifications removing the restrictions on the use of SWF and FLV/F4V specs have been published.[6] The Flash Cast protocol—now known as the Mobile Content Delivery Protocol—and AMF protocols have also been made available,[6] with AMF available as an open source implementation, BlazeDS. As of 2012[update], the Open Screen Project is no longer accepting new applications according to partner BSQuare.
Apps for Professional Development Twitter App (free) Twitter is one of the most active and beneficial social networks on the web. All educators would be wise to join the conversation. If you haven’t used Twitter yet, I would recommend that you read these excellent blog posts: Google Voice (free) Text and call for free! Skype (free) A beautiful app that allows you to make and receive VOIP calls on your iOS device. HeyTell (free) A fun “walkie-talkie” app for quick voice communication. Consumption Apps FlipBoard (free) A beautiful app that turns your RSS reader (such as Google Reader) into a magazine. Zite (free) Similar to FlipBoard, however instead of just providing a beautiful interface to view content you select, Zite tries to introduce you to new content sources based off of sources you currently read. QR Code Readers Quick-Response codes are the strange black and white boxes that have begun appearing everywhere. Diigo (free) Research Apps: Genius Scan (free)
Exceptions Tony Dye: Personal KnowledgeBase For more years than I want to admit, I’ve been searching for the perfect answer for a Personal Knowledgebase. I think a Personal KnowledgeBase is slightly different than a Corporate KnowledgeBase, but it would be nice if the two were extremely similar. I don’t have an exact definition of what “perfect” would look like, but I know it includes, at least: Free form – some stuff to be remembered is very random in structure Highly searchable Always available (web, notebook, mobile, desktop, other?) I’ve tried Personal Information Managers all the way back in the 80’s. Over the past few months, I may have closed in on something that comes pretty close, and it’s amazingly simple. Off-line Gmail solves part of the problem. Not being an iPhone user, I’m not certain the same capability exists there…but I suspect it does. So…what’s the down-side of this solution? I’m not sure I’m ready to put truly personal/private info into gmail. Anybody got a better solution?
