Colours & Markup Validation Service

Adobe Kuler allows us to select a range of colour rules.

The three main ones I need are Analogous, Monochromatic and Complementary.

What is Analogous?
If you think of the colour wheel as wedges of a pie, the colors in one-fourth of the pie are analogous. Three colors next to each other on the colour wheel comprise an analogous colour scheme.


What is Monochromatic?
In this type of scheme, various darker shades, grayer tones, and paler tints of the main colour may be included in the palette.

What is Complementary?
A complementary colour scheme uses colours across the colour wheel from each other as the main focus

An Important Computing Innovation

Skype

Skype is a software application like instant messenger (msn) that allows the user to interact with people face to face over the internet or web. People can makevoice calls for free instead of using the landline. Skype allows users to use webcams and voices to communicate with the other user they are talking to, compared to msn this is better because msn does not use voices. Skype has adapted over the years to be able to do file transfers and instant messenging and video confrencing; for example if a businessman is in the UK but wants to make a business call to China, all he needs to have is skype and a webcam, this will allow him to see, hear and speak while the business in china listen.

This has made video confrencing easier to use and navigate. I do not use skype a lot but I have it incase I ever need it :)

What Is A Markup Language?

A markup language is a coding system, such as HTML and SGML, used to structure, index and link text files. A standard text coding system consists of a set of symbols inserted in a text document to control it's formatting and structure, the symbols are then processed which tells a screen or printer how the document should look.

What Is The Difference Between The Internet & The WWW?

The Internet
The internet is a massive network of networks, it connects millions of computers together globally; forming a network in which any computer can communicate with any other computer as long as they are both connected to the internet. Information that travels across the internet is done so in a variety of languages called protocols.


The World Wide Web (www)
The web is an information-sharing model that is built on top of the Internet. The Web uses the HTTP protocol, only one of the languages spoken over the Internet, to transmit data. Web services, which use HTTP to allow applications to communicate in order to exchange business logic, use the the Web to share information. The Web also utilizes browsers, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, to access Web documents called Web pages that are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Web documents also contain graphics, sounds, text and video,

What is the difference from Computing and ICT?

Ict has a more practical side to the subjest, for example using software programmes and the uses of applications; using spreadsheets and databases. Computing on the other hand includes the use of programming language and the technical side of how the software used in ICT is created.
