DISSERTATION APPROVAL the Abstract And DISSERTATION APPROVAL The abstract and dissertation of Emerson Murphy-Hill for the Doctor of Philoso- phy in Computer Science were presented on February 26, 2009, and accepted by the dissertation committee and the doctoral program. COMMITTEE APPROVALS: Andrew P. Black, Chair Stephane´ Ducasse Mark Jones Susan Palmiter Suresh Singh Douglas Hall Representative of the Office of Graduate Studies DOCTORAL PROGRAM APPROVAL: Wu-chi Feng, Director Computer Science Ph.D. Program ABSTRACT An abstract of the dissertation of Emerson Murphy-Hill for the Doctor of Philoso- phy in Computer Science presented February 26, 2009. Title: Programmer Friendly Refactoring Tools Tools that perform semi-automated refactoring are currently under-utilized by programmers. If more programmers adopted refactoring tools, software projects could make enormous productivity gains. However, as more advanced refactor- ing tools are designed, a great chasm widens between how the tools must be used and how programmers want to use them. This dissertation begins to bridge this chasm by exposing usability guidelines to direct the design of the next generation of programmer-friendly refactoring tools, so that refactoring tools fit the way program- mers behave, not vice-versa.

You can also import other media elements, such as Flash, Shockwave, and QuickTime movies, as well as ImageReady slice elements and Photoshop or ImageReady images and animations. ImageReady is a great start to laying out a page design, how- ever, and you can easily import slice elements from it into either GoLive or Dreamweaver. A quick overview of using Photoshop and ImageReady images or animations in these applications is covered later in this chapter. What’s more important to note is that GoLive and Dreamweaver offer much more in the way of site management tools.

  • Dreamweaver 1
    Using Dreamweaver CS6 Overview Using Dreamweaver CS6 1 – Overview About the Web The worldwide web has become one of the most common uses for the Internet. It allows people to access a wide range of documents and other media from all over the world in a simple to use format. Designing content for the web is not so straight forward though. Many people learning to create websites are used to using word processors such as Microsoft Word, and try to create web pages the same way they’d create a Word document. Unfortunately this doesn’t usually work too well since the online world and print world are very different. Sure, you can make a web page the same way you’d make a word processed document, but it often won’t work too well and will be vulnerable to a variety of problems. The first thing a new web developer needs to do is to change their thinking and gain an understanding of how the web works. You need to remember that some things that will work well in a web page, won’t work well in a printed document and vice-versa. The Web began in the 80s when Tim Berners Lee (pictured) wanted to create a system to facilitate the sharing of information among researchers. The first web site was created in 1991 and in 1994, the World Wide Web Consortium1 (W3C) was established to create standards and improve the quality of the web. It was around that time that a new web browser called Netscape Navigator became available, helping to popularise the web due to its ease of use.
