  1. yes got it the day it game out Trails HD is the best arcade download todate

  2. get big pack l LOVE it
    but thats my opinion my gt is bmanc2000

  3. Goto http://www.elance.com, there are all kinds of freelance projects up for bid, try a small project, see how it goes. If you start doing work people like, via a site like that, you'll start getting more business.

  4. You can try using a site like Elance.com. You just post the project (describe what you need) and then web designers can "bid" to win your project. The prices are competitive since they want to get the project instead of the other designers.

    No matter who you hire, be sure to look carefully over their portfolio and reviews (in this case, both are available on Elance).

  5. I have been coding HTML for about 6 years. Started with Notepad as my editing program. Have recently decided to take some formal instructions in coding HTML and CSS. Notepad is the ONLY editing program permitted for the class. So it is back to Notepad.

    However, years ago after doing 2 web sites I finally started using HTML-Kit, a free program from http://www.htmlkit.com/ It will require that you know something about HTML tags and code structure.

    There is no software that will produce for you professional appearing web designs right out of the box. It will become necessary for you to learn HTML, CSS, Javascript, php and perhaps more.

  6. You will need your master's degree to teach at a community college. It might be good to try to land a tutoring job at a community college while you work on completing your education. This way by the time you are certified to teach at this level, you already have some experience working with college level students and you may have your foot in the door.

    Good luck.

  7. It is a real hard thing to say being those examples are fully developed applications for the most part. To build the base yourself you would have to look into a web development language like Ruby, PHP, ASP, or etc. I would recommend PHP or Ruby for the open source community behind them. Then using a framework and MVC pattern to structure your code and make things easier. (i.e. Rails or Zend)

    Now their are a few open source platforms created already you can install, but none offer the complete solution really. If you want basic functionality and something easy to use I would look into the PHP solution of Wordpress, Drupal, or CMS Made Simple. You can customize these to do what you want with less code and maybe some prebuilt plugins but they will not be as clean or nice as building your own.

    Then lastly when it comes down to designing your modules and pages you should look at just using your typical design software from Adobe or the open source programs GIMP or so forth. Just plan out what you want your application to do before you being and keep that in mind while actually designing the modules. If you lose sight of the end scope you could box yourself in with a design that does not function modularly.

    Sorry for possibly stating things that were not needed but I wanted to cover most bases in case the information was not known.

    EDIT: I forgot to add the information about the Front-End Interface. Both those sites use what is called AJAX, which is basically using JavaScript to reload and send data to code in the back end to return results to the front page so that the user never has to leave his current page, if you google this you will find many resources and there are even a couple frameworks for this like JQuery and MooTools.

  8. @Antony523 i run the bigest tournaments on Xbox live with WSOP2007/08 poker games you can win prizes too

  9. Sounds like a fair price, what more do you expect for £1,500 / $3,000 ?.

    That said, It would all depend on what the site currently makes in profit, the layout change might not make much difference, but if they can improve the traffic and search engine page rank then you might increase profit enough to justify it.

  10. wow, that's incredibly vague. You should include things like what language you're programming in, ideally post some code along with the question. I'm not trying to chew you out or anything, just trying to help you ask future questions a little more clearly. That being said…

    Basically you're going to need to make an HTML form with some inputs so the user can input whatever data you need for a user. Also, you need to set the action attribute on the form to the name of the file that will process the information (php, python, jsp, etc file).


    <form action="file.php">
    <input type='text' name='name'/>
    <input type='password' name='password'/>
    <input type='text' name='email'/>
    <input type='submit'/>
    </form>

    clicking the submit button will push the input's data to file.php. Depending on what language you're using, you will use different syntax to get those parameters and enter them into the database. I'd at least need to know what language you're programming in to help you out anymore. good luck, hope that was some help ;)

  11. Adobe (previously Macromedia) Flash, Dreamweaver if you don't like writing html, and Photoshop

  12. Web design is pretty much what it sounds like- it's designing for the internet, whether it's creating websites or working in programs like Flash. Also, you do have to be some what creative when designing websites, but I know some web design majors who prefer the coding part rather than the design part.

    Graphic design is designing mostly for print, with some designing for the web (ex: banner ads). In graphic design you can do numerous things like working on layouts for magazines, creating logos or designing packaging for consumer goods.

    As far as income goes, it all depends on where you live, how much experience you have and what your job title is. A junior designer obviously won't be making as much as a senior designer or an art director. You'll just have to do some of your own research to figure out how much a graphic designer makes versus a web designer.

    I will tell you from personal experience that there does seem to be a lot more web design jobs out there. I majored in graphic design and although I enjoy what I do, its been really tough finding a full-time job, but hopefully the economy will get better soon!

  13. Aptana Studio is very good, free version contains almost everything you need for writing a good website.

  14. hands down, MIT and all of those bigger schools. from what i have found though, michigan has the best program.

    You can repurpose your skills in so many ways. Graphic design is connected to editorial, writing, artwork, programming, technical skills, web development. It's really as far as you want to take it

  17. Not hard

    Start by learning HTML

    http://www.w3schools.com/html/DEFAULT.asp

    then go to java,flash, php, peral, CGI-bin, and all others lol

  18. The most effective way to obtain the requirements is through interviews. Make an appointment with you customer and ask them what they want on their website. Prepare the questions well in advance.
    Type of questions:

    1. Functional Requirements
    – This basically tells you what the website should do and how does it functions.
    – Example: What the website do? What is it for? What function should be there?

    2. Non-Functional Requirements
    – This is not about the functionality of the website rather than it relates to how should the website looks and anything that is not in the functional side.
    – This requirements if it is not done the website will still function perfectly as it was intended to.
    – Example: Whats the website layout? Whats the color theme? What is the tolerable amount of time for the website to response to a request.

    These are some basic yet the most important requirements you need to know.
    You can always search at Yahoo! and Google for a more detailed design/software/ website requirement document sample and template.

  19. Web designers make websites like Facebook appealing, eye-catching, and graphically functional.
    Web developers make websites like Facebook work.

    I daresay the developers are paid more because they are computer programmers, not just graphic designers on Macs. (And no, having a Mac isn't required; it's cheaper but not as elitist to have a PC).
