Today's lesson was the first day we met Dr. Zaidatun. She was explaining thoroughly about the class overview. Including the Facebook group (Facebooking authoring system together)
Some of the interesting new facts that i learnt today was:-
- flash is an actionscript
- metaphor of powerpoint is slide based
- metaphor of authorwave is icon based
- metaphor of flash is frame/time based
streaming - watch while it downloads
We also looked into the difference between dynamic and static webs.
Examples of dynamic web :- facebook, (those days)friendster, twitter
Examples of static webpages: webpages that potray informations and photos or video. no two way interaction
Besides that we learned about PHP and ASP. Both are programming languages used to create websites.
ASP - Active Server Pages, runs on Microsoft along side IIS(Internet Information Server) and uses access as database
PHP- Hypertext Preprocessor, can also run on windows,solaris,unix and linux, runs on Apache server and uses Mysql as database
