  • Just Another Perl Hack Neil Bowers1 Canon Research Centre Europe
    Weblint: Just Another Perl Hack Neil Bowers1 Canon Research Centre Europe Abstract Weblint is a utility for checking the syntax and style of HTML pages. It was inspired by lint [15], which performs a similar function for C and C++ programmers. Weblint does not aspire to be a strict SGML validator, but to provide helpful comments for humans. The importance of quality assurance for web sites is introduced, and one particular area, validation of HTML, is described in more detail. The bulk of the paper is devoted to weblint: what it is, how it is used, and the design and implementation of the current development version. 1. Introduction The conclusion opens with a summary of the information and opinions given in this paper. A Web sites are becoming an increasingly critical part of selection of the lessons learned over the last four years how many companies do business. For many companies is given, followed by plans for the future, and related web sites are their business. It is therefore critical that ideas. owners of web sites perform regular testing and analysis, to ensure quality of service. 2. Web Site Quality Assurance There are many different checks and analyses which The following are some of the questions you should be you can run on a site. For example, how usable is your asking yourself if you have a web presence. I have site when accessed via a modem? An incomplete list of limited the list to those points which are relevant to similar analyses are given at the start of Section 2.

  • Mobile Phones and Cloud Computing
    Mobile phones and cloud computing A quantitative research paper on mobile phone application offloading by cloud computing utilization Oskar Hamrén Department of informatics Human Computer Interaction Master’s programme Master thesis 2-year level, 30 credits SPM 2012.07 Abstract The development of the mobile phone has been rapid. From being a device mainly used for phone calls and writing text messages the mobile phone of today, or commonly referred to as the smartphone, has become a multi-purpose device. Because of its size and thermal constraints there are certain limitations in areas of battery life and computational capabilities. Some say that cloud computing is just another buzzword, a way to sell already existing technology. Others claim that it has the potential to transform the whole IT-industry. This thesis is covering the intersection of these two fields by investigating if it is possible to increase the speed of mobile phones by offloading computational heavy mobile phone application functions by using cloud computing. A mobile phone application was developed that conducts three computational heavy tests. The tests were run twice, by not using cloud computing offloading and by using it. The time taken to carry out the tests were saved and later compared to see if it is faster to use cloud computing in comparison to not use it. The results showed that it is not beneficial to use cloud computing to carry out these types of tasks; it is faster to use the mobile phone. 1 Table of Contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................................... 1 Table of Contents ..................................................................................................................... 2 1.

  • Cascading Style Sheet Web Tool
    CASCADING STYLE SHEET WEB TOOL _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Computer Science _______________ by Kalthoum Y. Adam Summer 2011 iii Copyright © 2011 by Kalthoum Y. Adam All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION I dedicate this work to my parents who taught me not to give up on fulfilling my dreams. To my faithful husband for his continued support and motivation. To my sons who were my great inspiration. To all my family and friends for being there for me when I needed them most. v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Cascading Style Sheet Web Tool by Kalthoum Y. Adam Master of Science in Computer Science San Diego State University, 2011 Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) is a style language that separates the style of a web document from its content. It is used to customize the layout and control the appearance of web pages written by markup languages. CSS saves time while developing the web page by applying the same layout and style to all pages in the website. Furthermore, it makes the website easy to maintain by just editing one file. In this thesis, we developed a CSS web tool that is intended to web developers who will hand-code their HTML and CSS to have a complete control over the web page layout and style. The tool is a form wizard that helps developers through a user-friendly interface to create a website template with a valid CSS and XHTML code.

Contributor the vast majority of you probably know me (or have at least seen me H around the forums), I feel that I should take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Daniel Griffiths, and I am a 26-year-old independent contractor in Delaware, US. Throughout my life, I have wandered through various UNIX/Linux systems including (but not limited to) MINIX, RedHat, Mandrake, Slackware, Gentoo, Debian, and even two home made distributions based on Linux From Scratch. I finally found Arch in 2007 and instantly fell in love with its elegant simplicity. Some of our more attentive readers may note that Arch already has a monthly newsletter. With the existence of the aformentioned newsletter, what is the point of adding another news medium to the mix? Fear not, newsletter readers, I have no intention of letting Arch User Magazine take the place of the newsletter. In fact, Arch User Magazine and the newsletter are intended to fill two very different needs in the Arch community.

  • Create HTML Template Speech Cursor Actions When Sending Bulk Email in Sumac, You Usually Want to Use a Template
    Create HTML Template Speech Cursor Actions When sending bulk email in Sumac, you usually want to use a template. For example, if you email your newsletter , you use a template for the newsletter to ensure that each recipient receives a personalized newsletter in their inbox. When creating a template for an email, the template should be in xls --> spreadsheet HTML format. HTML is an abbreviation for Hypertext Markup doc --> word processing Language. HTML is a document format for data being sent over the Internet, just like .xls is a format for spreadsheets, or .docx is a format for a word processing documents. The HTML format allows links, pictures, tables, different colours and fonts, all in the body of an email. You have used HTML hundreds of times because a web browser hmtl --> web pages and email is actually just a program for viewing HTML documents. Just as you would use a spreadsheet program to edit and .xls file, you need a specific program to edit an HTML document. Most word processing programs have the ability to save a document in HTML format. Although it may seem convenient to use Microsoft Word, don't do it. It will not work. Microsoft Word inserts a variety of codes into HTML which are incorrectly interpreted by email programs, including Outlook. If you do not already have an HTML editor, consider Sea Monkey. This open source program runs on Macintosh, Windows and Linux computers. It creates very standard HTML which works with most email programs. We use Sea Monkey to create all our newsletters!
