Practical web development
Basic
In
practice, many web developers will have basic interdisciplinary skills /
roles, including:
- Graphic design / web design
- Information architecture and copy-writing/copy-editing with web usability, accessibility and search engine optimization in mind
The
above list is a simple website development hierarchy and can be extended to
include all client side and server side aspects. It is still important to
remember that web development is generally split up into client side coding,
covering aspects such as the layout and design, and server side coding, which
covers the website's functionality and back-end systems.
Advanced
Some
more advanced web developers will also have these interdisciplinary
skills / roles:
Negative sides of the Zodiac Signs
Don`t we all hide a certain aspect of our personality from the world? Nobody`s an angel and there is a wicked side to everyone.
Here`s revealing what your friend or lover will probably never ever tell you or even you will not tell anyone - the darkest and deepest secrets of the different sun signs
Aries
Most Arians tend to be chauvinistic, there is nobody who they think is worthy enough of even standing before them. Well, if that were true all the leaders of the world would be Aries. Their ego is bigger than the universe and dare you hurt it, you would have to deal with that vicious tongue of theirs that pierces straight through the heart. And last but not the least, they are insanely self-obsessed.
Taurus
The lazy bulls have this special quality about them that surely sets them a thousand miles apart from the rest and that is called avarice. Greed can drive them insane; they crave for all the luxury in the world but don`t want to work hard for it. Funny, isn`t it?
Gemini
Do you really think your Gemini friend listens when you share your problems with him/her? For one, they do not and even if they do, then all that we can say is God bless you. Geminis only know how to talk, they never listen. Well, only sometimes when they think the gossip to be juicy enough and at the blink of an eye they will be telling your most intimate secrets to everybody.
Cancer
The crabs are so nice that it hurts, but they do have a wicked side like everybody else, may be not as wicked though, and depends on how you look at it. They tend to be clingy and dependable, emotionally unstable and freak out at the silliest of things.
Leo
Now, how can a dangerous animal like Lion be nice? Proud and loud, Leos, just like their fire mates Aries, have a thing for being boisterous. Cross their line of fire and you`d be sorry you met them in the first place.
Virgo
Their sugar coated words should never be trusted. Beneath that calm and composed exterior is a cunning person who doesn`t really mean it when he/she says that they admire you. And yes, how can one forget about their knack for perfection or rather irritating need to poke their nose in every matter, whether it concerns them or not, all the time.
Libra
No the scales do not turn in their favour, not this time. Vanity conscious and power hungry, this air sign literally takes the symbol of their sign, the scales too seriously. They can be so finicky and obsessed about equality that it makes them go crazy.
Scorpio
You probably were expecting a lot of "good things" about the Scorpio and well, you wouldn`t be disappointed. There are actually a lot of good things that you didn`t know (or already knew) about them. Manipulative, selfish, controlling all that`s fine but the best thing is they never forgive. Revenge is a dish best served cold and the Scorpio out of all the signs understands it the best.
Sagittarius
The saying - "promises are meant to be broken" was probably by a Sagittarius. To a Sagittarian, life without adventure is so plain and boring that they need to do everything adventurous (read stupid) to get their adrenaline pumping, even if it means breaking someone`s heart (but they do realize it later).
Capricorn
Goats and devilish? You`d probably say no way but here`s letting you on a little secret-they are selfish, very selfish indeed. One has to give it to the Capricorns for maintaining such a saintly image.
Aquarius
Aquarians have a deep desire for fame and they will do anything for it. Being detached is one thing and backstabbing is another but to an Aquarian they are all the same. They do so unintentionally though, if that is any consolation.
Pisces
Round and round the fish goes, planning the next best move to get what it wants. Sweet on the outside and "God knows what" on the inside, Pisceans can be really deceptive and manipulative. A grown up Piscean may even cry or bawl like a kid to get what he wants.
DON'T MISS The Right Job for Zodiac signs
There are no right or wrong people or right or wrong
jobs. This situation is more like the right people stuck with the wrong
career option, or the wrong people taken for the right job. So, how will
we deal with this confusion? Let`s take a look at what astrology has to
say about this. Let your zodiac sign help you guide your career path.
You never know, you might just make the most of it, starting today!
Aries:
Aries make great artists and sportsmen. People of this sign cannot take too much of interference with their work. These guys make great researchers, scientists and engineers too. They like to work at their pace and in their style. No, that doesn`t mean they can`t take orders, but try letting them be on their own and they`ll come up with the best results!
Taurus:
Taureans are creative souls. They have a taste for art and are talented entertainers. These guys cannot go by the hardcore corporate rules. They find it hard to breathe in a dishonest environment. Being great money managers, banking and accounting jobs are also great career options for them.
Gemini:
Geminis make outstanding journalists. Due to their innate nosy nature, these people fit perfectly in this profession. A Gemini person has strong verbal skills; a talk show host is a great option too! Translators, Public Relations, company HR and other such professions are more suitable for this bunch.
Cancer:
Cancerians can find their perfect stop as a judge or a lawyer. With their perfect sense of judgment, and ability to not let wrong happen, these people will do just great. Being affectionate and very caring, they make great nurses too! As writers, artists and filmmakers, Cancer is known to outshine most other signs.
Leo:
Leo loves to be the center of attraction, a clerical job involving backend paperwork would be so frustrating for him. A Leo actor might be the most satisfied person on earth! With oh-so-much-attention, what more could he ask for! These guys make excellent spokespersons or publicists.
Virgo:
Computer scientists, engineers, financial advisers and architects; you`ll find Virgos perform outstandingly in these professions. With an eye for detail, these jobs are some of the best options for this lot.
Libra:
Librans have a balanced temperament. These people know how to balance things and are very serious about making no mistakes in that. With such unbiased approach, Librans prove to be great teachers and counselors. Librans also have a thing for beauty. Stylists, beauticians and interior decorators are also some perfect options for them. The legal field attracts Librans and most Librans are doing well as lawyers and judges.
Scorpio:
Scorpions are very dedicated and hard working professionals. They are very secretive and at the same time, willing to know other people`s problems and secrets. These people will fit well as investigators. They also make great therapists and hypnotists. Don`t be startled to find a scorpion working in the science lab or as a researcher.
Sagittarius:
Sagittarians are the always-happy
ones. They like solving problems and bringing a smile on others` faces.
Psychiatrists, school counselors, customer service desks, managers,
they`ll excel in all these career options!
Capricorn:
With a very high level of concentration, Capricorns prove to be perfect doctors and electrical engineers; they are the perfect choice for project managers too! Work which requires a lot of reading, analyzing and writing are also perfect for them.
Aquarius:
Aquarians are free birds, restricting them to a 9 to 5 schedule will suffocate them. The urge to do something different, independently, makes flexible working conditions favourable for this sign. Excellence in the field of science and technology is expected from an Aquarian person. Social work and politics are also preferable fields for them.
Pisces:
Pisceans have very strong visual imagination. A creative field such as animation is one of the best options for them, with confirmed success! Other career options include photography, filmmaking, and teaching.
4 Strategies For Remembering Everything You Learn
If you're going to learn anything, you need two kinds of prior knowledge:
The bad news: Our education system kinda skips one of them, which is
terrifying, given that your ability to learn is such a huge predictor of
success in life, from achieving in academics to getting ahead at work.
It all requires mastering skill after skill.
"Parents and educators are pretty good at imparting the first kind of knowledge," shares psych writer Annie Murphy Paul. "We're comfortable talking about concrete information: names, dates, numbers, facts. But the guidance we offer on the act of learning itself — the 'metacognitive' aspects of learning — is more hit-or-miss, and it shows."
To wit, new education research shows that low-achieving students have "substantial deficits" in their understanding of the cognitive strategies that allow people to learn well. This, Paul says, suggests that part of the reason students perform poorly is that they don't know a lot about how learning actually works.
It's a culture-wide issue.
Henry Roediger and Mark McDaniel, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis and coauthors of "Make It Stick: The Science Of Successful Learning," say that "how we teach and study is largely a mix of theory, lore, and intuition."
So let's cut through that lore. Here are learning strategies that really work.
Force yourself to recall.
The least-fun part of effective learning is that it's hard. In fact, the "Make It Stick" authors contend that when learning if difficult, you're doing your best learning, in the same way that lifting a weight at the limit of your capacity makes you strongest.
It's simple, though not easy, to take advantage of this: force yourself to recall a fact. Flashcards are a great ally in this, since they force you to supply answers.
Don't fall for fluency.
When you're reading something and it feels easy, what you're experiencing is fluency.
It'll only get you in trouble.
Example: Say, for instance, you're at the airport and you're trying to remember which gate your flight to Chicago is waiting for you at. You look at the terminal monitors — it's B44. You think to yourself, oh, B44, that's easy. Then you walk away, idly check your phone, and instantly forget where you're going.
The alternative: You read the gate number. Then you turn away from the monitor and ask yourself, what's the gate? If you can recall that it's B44, you're good to go.
Connect the new thing to the old things.
"The more you can explain about the way your new learning relates to prior knowledge," the "Make It Stick" authors write, "the stronger your grasp of the new learning will be, and the more connections you create that will help you remember it later."
When you're weaving in new threads into your pre-existing web of knowledge, you're elaborating.
One killer technique is to come up with real-life examples of principles you've just uncovered. If you've just learned about slant rhyme, you could read poems that exhibit it. If you've just discovered heat transfer, you could think of the way a warm cup of cocoa disperses warmth into your hands on a cold winter's day.
Reflect, reflect, reflect.
Looking back helps. In a Harvard Business School study , employees who were onboarded to a call center had 22.8% higher performance than the control group when they spent just 15 minutes reflecting on their work at the end of the day.
"When people have the opportunity to reflect, they experience a boost in self-efficacy," HBS professor Francesca Gino tells us. "They feel more confident that they can achieve things. As a result, they put more effort into what they're doing and what they learn."
While reflecting may seem like it leads to working less, it leads to achieving more.
