Web Site Philosophy

Web Page Philosophy

The Web is a means of distributing information: it is NOT a substitute for television. The most annoying aspect of the World Wide Web is the World Wide WAIT. Consequently, in my Web sites I don’t use flashy graphics, nor graphics at all except insofar as they contribute to readability or navigability.

Furthermore, while I can write HTML straight up, having considerable experience in writing and teaching structured programming languages, I prefer to use an editor. In general I use FrontPage, despite my dislike of Microsoft (remember, MSS), because FP makes it easy to quickly create and "publish" a site. I don’t mind a "canned" site if it serves the purpose of distributing information.

See Jakob Neilsen's many articles about website usability.

"A teacher is never a giver of truth - he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. A good teacher is merely a catalyst." (Martial Arts quote)
