I think I might be interested in using X-Ray Goggles. It’s interesting that users can look at a web page and see the code behind it. For my job as a technical writer, and in past professional writing classes, we have had to look at basic HTML and CSS. I think this is interesting and […]

Today, we looked at past projects for interrogating an interface. My group looked at a project about Haiku Deck, which is a presentation app. When I create my project, I would like to use tabs and/or links for easy navigation. The Haiku Deck interrogation is fairly organized, and it is well written; however, everything is […]

I chose this site because I’ve never heard of it or used anything like it before. My first choice was taken, and this […]
