jQuery Practise

This code right here. Took me a while as a beginner, but it feels so good that I was able fetch contents from different HTML pages and display them, based on the links that are being clicked. I am sure there are better and simpler ways of doing this.

Who has not felt the contradiction between two identities when you discover decorating your own profile #online. I find it fascinating how social networks have turned "the self" into a subjective concept. I find surprising how "free" some users seem to be on the internet, it seems admirable to me as they demolish prejudices, and the power with which they tell others how to live. It is fearless as some describe themselves "as the last desert Coca-Cola". I would like to have the same courage to live everyday with the same lying attitude of unbreakable personality. With the eternal smile of those who seem to feel nothing but happiness. Nobody fools me, will it be that they fool themselves? Quién no ha sentido la contradicción entre dos identidades cuando se descubre decorando su propio perfil online.  Me resulta fascinante como las redes sociales han convertio al "Yo" en un concepto subjetivo. Encuentro sorprendente lo "libres" que parecen ser algunos usuarios en internet, me parece muchas veces admirable como derriban prejuicios y la potestad con la que les dicen a otros cómo vivir. Es audaz como algunos se describen así mismos "como la ultima Colacola del desierto".  Me gustaría tener la valentía de vivir el día a día con la misma actitud mentirosa de personalidad inquebrantable. Con la sonrisa eterna de quien parece no sentir otra cosa más que felicidad. A mi no me engañan. Será que sí logran engañarse así mismos? #OnlineIdentity #TheSelf #Offline #beyourself Photo: @jhonprato

Adding the icons to our website may seem like a tedious task. Nevertheless. With the Fontastic portal, it's super easy. I recommend watching a tutorial on youtube, or read the instructions on the link I post. It is simple, and gives a super professional look to our project.

Click on the link above, and find out how cool it is to learn new languages.

Today companies such as Netflix, Spotify, Yahoo, Medium, Platzi, Uber and even NASA use it to build their technology platforms.

Today we can use JavaScript in almost anything we can think of, allowing something great: to make the code many times reusable, and to think in only one language.

Netflix uses JavaScript to build its applications for all the devices it supports.

Possibly learning JavaScript takes at least 6 months, but it will surely be worth if you are willing to create a competitive technological product.

PODCAST - Selfies: the cult of the self on Instagram users

Sharing personal photos through Internet has become normal for many people, technological innovations and applications for mobile phones dedicated to sharing photos, such as Instagram , allows its users to expose publicly experiences lived in real time. Psychologists, sociologists and other experts in human behaviour, have

mentioned that we live in the age of me, or in other words, they consider that we are living a moment where narcissism and individualism among young people is being fed by the excessive need to show a personal performance.

The cult to the self in users of Instagram, especially in young people between 20 and 24 years old, is a reality. 

The number of photographs shared daily on the internet, which repeat postures and gestures, confirm the existence of a fashion that turns the user creating a profile for public consumption.

The dynamic is to see and to be seen. 

The cult of the self is characterized by the individualistic spirit and exaltation of the personality.

Even though individualistic behaviour has existed since ancient times, technological tools are offering a personal performance. 

Now anyone with a smart cell phone and internet connection can produce a show that can be seen by everyone. 

The health or sickness of each behaviour will depend on the knowledge of the Instagram users.

Knowledge is power, and the availability to reflect on a fashion that seems to stay for much longer, can make the difference between an enjoyable social life,online or offline.

if...else #Javascript

The if control structure is practically the most used in JavaScript. By means of an "if" we can verify whether a certain condition is met or not, and then make a decision.

The if statement executes a statement if a specified condition is truthy. If the condition is falsy, another statement can be executed. (MDN Web Codes, https://developer.mozilla.org)

if (condition)  

Condition An expression that is considered to be either truthy or falsy.

 statement1

Statement that is executed if condition is truthy. Can be any statement, including further nested if statements. To execute multiple statements, use a block statement ({ ... }) to group those statements. To execute no statements, use an empty statement.

 [else    

statement2]

Statement that is executed if condition is falsy and the else clause exists. Can be any statement, including block statements and further nested if statements.

Multiple if...else statements can be nested to create an else if clause. Note that there is no elseif (in one word) keyword in JavaScript.

if (x > 5) {

/* do the right thing */ 

}else if (x > 50) {

 /* do the right thing */ 

} else { /* do the right thing */ 

}

We are already in the moment in which learning to use technology is not enough, but it is also necessary to learn how to create technology. 

Knowledge in computer science should not be seen as a luxury or education for a few, but as a necessity.

This article from The New York time explains how people over 55 years old, are willing to create their own apps.

Html codes for web pages

There are different types of basic codes that you can use for your web page.

The main ones are those that shape the title, the body of the page, and the images and videos.

It is important to know the nature of html codes, their function and what we want to build with each of them. "Style" is one of the most basic html codes. However, understanding how it works makes the difference between being a person in "beginning level" vs a person in the level "I don't know even who I am"

Style

<style> this label is fundamental. With it you can define the style of your content:

ColorSizeTypography

Simply add the name of the color, the size of the font and the Pantone code of the colors you want to be displayed. For example, <style> body: black; font size: 12px; color network </ style>.

Basic html codes:

html

<html> is the one that should be used in all codes because it tells browsers that the document has html code, so it can read it that way.

Title

<tittle> is the label that gives a title to the web page, in this way the site will have a name with which users can identify it.

Header

<head> is the label that is used for the header of the page. Its main function is to contain all the information on the operation of the site. Because of this it is an encrypted code that people who view the page can not see.

Body

<body> is the label that will be used throughout the site. It will help you to add text, images, videos or any other functionality that you wish to add as content.

Titles and subtitles

<h1> <h2> <h3> are tags that work to add titles and subtitles to the web page. They are used after the <body> tag to continue with the organization of the site.

Images

<img> with this tag you can add images to the body of your page. All you have to do is add the <img> tag after the <body> tag.

Hyperlinks

<a> this tag is added to insert a hyperlink to the page. For example, the link to your social networks or to another website with which you want to connect your page.

Internal links

<li> <ul> serve to add lists to create menus on your site that direct you to other pages within it. With these tags you will give sequence to all your content, because users can go from one page to another without any problem.

<! DOCTYPE html> is the last label you should use and it is very important that you do it because it will close your site with a flourish. It will return your site readable in any browser and, in addition, it will provide the specification of the language in which the page will appear with the tag <html lang = "en">.

To close the codes

It is very important that you do not forget to close all your codes because otherwise they will not be able to be displayed on the page as we show you above. To close them you must include a diagonal, as in the following example:

<html> <tittle> Page Design </ html> </ tittle>

This information came from my Web Authoring class at Griffith College, and from different articles about html code.

If you want a better code, make sure you validate it!

Color Theory for Web Design

Holla everyone.

We are almost about to develop our website. And as everyone knows, color is fundamental to transmit a better messaging and create a great experience for our users.

Check out this infographic by DesignMantic. The success of the interface of social networks goes hand in hand with colors. Or why Twitter and Facebook keep the color blue on their design?

I believe that using the color psychology and a standard hierarchy is one of the keys to keep the user engage with our product.

What’s the Difference between HTML vs CSS?

Building a website mainly comprises knowledge of HTML and CSS. However, setting the difference between one and the other is necessary to start in the world of web development.

HTML is a markup language for describing web documents (web pages).” – w3schools

In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web with HTML as its publishing language. HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) was created to help programmers describe the content on a website like <this is a heading>, <this is a paragraph>. HTML uses tags to help you add paragraphs, headers, pictures, bullets and other pieces of structure. Just like you would write something on a word document, HTML helps you write something on a website. (Wiki, w3schools)

Simply put, HTML is used to create the actual content of the page, such as written text.

CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media.” – w3schools

CSS was first proposed by Hakom Lie and co-created by Bert Bos around 1996. Created to compliment HTML, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is what makes a website look and feel amazing. Presentation and ease of use have been some of the qualities CSS has brought to web development. It is more involved with changing a websites style rather than its content. Kind of like changing the font size, font color and positioning on a word document. CSS is in charge of the way the content looks on a page and what else goes on it to compliment that content.  (Wiki, w3schools)

CSS (Cascade Styling Sheets) is responsible for the design or style of the website, including design, visual effects and background color.

After understanding the difference between one and the other, it's time to put the codes into practice and boot up with a good visual idea and powerful content.
