last week

finally. i have done my website. while, during this process of designing and learning, i do learn some.
today, i went to university to connect ftp database. but, it takes me a while. i made a mistake, seems i am so stupid. i set up my database in my pc. when i in uni, i just forgot to rename my database file.....
while, at last ,i made it right...

week11

i am still working on my website design.
while, it is not really easy for me. i meet lots of difficulties.
....

week10

i received feedback from my group member. it is not too bad.
and i still had lots problem need to solve.
nowadays i am working no connecting to my database.
here is the feedback:
1. Clear picture of users (eg personas, use cases, scenarios, sketches)

Rating: ****

From Jin Jin's explanation, I can understand the users scope of her system. And the functions that it provides to the users are enough fot them to make online shopping. But a search engine is probably needed

.

2. Exterior documentation (eg mockups, wireframes, screenshots)

Rating: ****

The sample pages of the website are good. They got good layout. And all the functions are nested reasonable.

3. Interior documentation (eg technologies, architecture, data flow)

Rating: ***

Jin Jin does not explain interior data flow very well. I could not fully understand this. Probably need more details.


4. Planning (eg phasing, scoping, timetables, schedule)

Rating: ****

Base on Jin Jin's schedule as well as the work that she has finished, I beleive Jin Jin will complete this project on time.

GENERAL COMMENTS

Jin Jin has done good job. The functions and the layout of her website are nice. I suggest more work need to be done on Interior documentation and working out a search engine for customer to locate their
interested commodities.

Hi JinJin

Here is my feedback on your report - I'll put it on the discussion
board too:

This looks much better - well done.
I think you might be confusing CSS (cascading style sheets) and RSS
(really simple syndication). Near the top of the report you say that
CSS is for 'broadcasting the latest updates...' - but I think you
really mean RSS. You've got it right in the CSS section below though.
You've referred to Andrew Trebac, from 2002 - I think that's a bit
old, it would be good to find a newer reference for that section of
the report. The full reference isn't at the bottom of the page so I
can't check it out, but from what you've written I think what he said
is a little bit out of date now.
You've put a few references at the bottom of the page, and you also
indicated some places in the text where you were referring to other
material. It's VERY important if you are actually quoting from
another source to indicate who you are quoting and exactly which
phrases or sentences are quoted - use italics or quotation marks to
do this and cite the author in brackets at the end of the quote. It
looks like there are a couple of places in the text where you have
forgotten to do this. You should double check and BE SURE to fix
anything that needs fixing before handing in the final version at the
end of the semester.
When you talk about "XML for website decoration" at the top of the
page do you mean Flex or something like that? In the XML section
below, you talk about normal XML, which is fine, but if you want to
include this then you need to say a bit more about how you will be
using it in your project- I'm not quite sure how it fits in.
The HTML section looks good, mostly these days we try to use XHTML,
which is just slightly different. I think the text would still be OK
if you just changed HTML to XHTML unless you have a special reason
for using HTML - in which case you need to explain your decision.
In the XML-micro, MySQL-micro, and CSS-Micro - the headings should be
XML-macro, MySQL-macro, CSS-Macro. The following section which is
about all three looks more like the micro analysis about how the
technologies apply to your particular project.
You've obviously done a lot of work on the updated report and it's
looking much better-well done. I hope this is some help and look
forward to seeing the final version of the report and the website at
the end of the semester.
Let me know if you need any more help.

regards

Alastair


firstly, thanks for Alastair comment. referring to the new problem . i will figure out. i will compare HTML with XHTML with the process of my study.
relating to the reference issues. i will pay more attentions. ...

thanks again.
