Different languages of coding:
What you see:
HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language
CSS - Cascading Style Sheets
The functionality / How things work:
Java - Android Language
Java Scrips - Advanced effects and added interactivity
Server languages that communicates between a webpage and a server. If you were designing a website like sos you would need developers who know how to use:
SQL (sequel)- Database language
PHP - Sever Based language
iOS - Apple language
Ruby - Twitter
The iphone replaced flash and action script - massive shift in programmes, no one uses action script anymore.
Designing for screen involves designing for browsers such as google chrome, firefox, safari, internet explorer and opera on devices such as Desktop Computers, laptops, tablets, mobile phones and televisions.
Designers must take into consideration the screen proportions and orientations of devices and create responsive screen designs. eg:
Burger button: Drop down menu / list of different buttons - good for mobile phone devices.
Row of buttons at the top of the laptop screen.
72 ppi is the default resolution of the size of file due to the speed of the internet that the user is accessing the page through. Users give a website 2 seconds to load or leave.
Accessibility for all
Text on the internet has to be actual text and not an image as it needs to be able to be read out by screen readers for users with visual impairments. This is the law. Photographs also need tabs to describe what is in the image.
Have to find royalty free typefaces that can be distributed for free on screen. As typefaces can be downloaded for free and are accessible to everyone who visits the website.
HTML
Works with open and closed tabs: <home> open </home> close
