Week 4 Online Platforms

The document discusses online platforms and provides definitions and levels of online platforms. It covers web design principles, elements, using templates, and cloud computing and mapping. The first website was created by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in Geneva in 1990. Platforms are underlying systems that allow applications to run and are the base for other technologies. There are different levels of online platforms including access APIs, plugin APIs, and runtime environments.

How does API
Work?

User API System

Customer Waiter Kitchen


Developer's application code
lives outside the platform

Access API
Building and running is left
entirely to the developer
(programming language,
database, servers, storage,
networking, security, etc)
Access API
Developers build new functions
that can be plugged in to the
core system (platform itself) and
user interface

Plugin API
Third party application codes
run inside the platform
(developer code is uploaded and
runs online inside the platform
itself)
Runtime Environment

planning,
creating and
maintaining
websites
process of creatively
designing and
constructing a
website and updating
it regularly to
incorporate changes
Visual Hierarchy

elements should be ranked

reduce number of choices


for better user experience
Fitts'
Law

the larger the object/target


and the shorter the distance,
the easier it would be to move
it or reach it
Accessibility

user must be able to access


each bit of info in the easiest
manner
Visible Language

design must be clear,


consistent, economical
