Blog 16: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #2

My EQ is:  What is the most important element to a successful E-Commerce web site for small business management?
My second answer to the EQ is to have an intuitive UI for a pleasant and streamline experience for customers.
For example my 2nd source, "5 Basic Rules of Web Page Design and Layout," states that the site should be easy to navigate because people get frustrated and will lose interest quickly if they can't understand your navigation system. My 12th source, "Basic Web Design 101," taught me that I should keep the web site clean and organized so that the user isn't overwhelmed or distracted by everything they see. And my 15th source, "Applying Fitts’ Law To Mobile Interface Design," evaluates the efficiency of mouse movement across the screen.
I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by doing more research on how to design a better UI and by finding examples of my details on other sites.

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

I plan on working with my mentor to build an E-commerce web site.
Building a web site takes time and could vary based on the clients needs and wants. Also it's more mentorship.

Blog 14: Independent Component 1

Literal:
I, Xavier Albarran, student name, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.

Jonathan Rosales and cplusplus.com

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtlisBBFKsFudE5fUGhYNFBqdkZSdE45UmF0TkZaNXc&usp=sharing

INTERPRETIVE :

• The C++ part of my independent component was a introduction to code language and how it works. It gave me an insight on how important correct syntax is to the program even starting up.
• Image manipulation and altercation is important because being able to make a unique image for your website will set you apart from everyone else and will give you an identity.
• And HTML is important to know because it is the language that most websites use to publish themselves.

Applied:

• This component  helped me understand the foundation of web design by giving me an insight to how the code looks to every page on the web. Like when I look into the source code of the blog, it gave me a better understanding of how the language works. It has also showed me the importance of syntax, like the time I missed the ";" at the end of the lane so the program didn't work. It has also showed me how simple it is to set up a server and how little it needs to work. It's so little that I could fit one on my laptop with it's depleted amount of space.
