Knowing Your Role in the Web Community

 Posted in: TipsWeb DesignWritten by: JamalJanuary 9th, 2012

The web design and development industry has a lot in common with sport teams if you really think about it, and of course know enough about sports to see the similarities. Let's take a minute and look at that. On any sports team, every player has a specific role they each must play for the team to win. A strong well-rounded team will have one star player, typically the leader as well, a diversely talented supporting cast that complement said star, a group of highly talented reserve players that can come into the game at any time and make their impact felt, the development/minor league team, and then the people who watch them and play as a hobby. The only problem a team built like this could face is that of the ego of the players. Since everyone believes they are the best, it's going to get even worse with the freshest faces on the block, everyone feels like they should be stars. If that doesn't sound like the web community to someone, then that person is either in denial or is oblivious to the truth.

What is the Future of Adobe Flash?

 Posted in: Social MediaWeb DesignWritten by: Rean John UeharaJune 11th, 2011

The fate of Adobe Flash is in a stir lately. Who wouldn't talk about it when two Steve's are out there to get it by the neck? Steve Jobs and Steve Ballmer have decided that Flash's reign is over. At least in the sense that Microsoft and Apple and other major technology companies have started shifting from Flash to different platforms. What's in store for developers and users? Users would wonder if they're affected by this change. Depending on what they use their devices for, it might make or break a lot of things. Take for example gamers. There are major gaming websites that focus on Flash like Kongregate and Newgrounds, I guess Apple users won't be able to play games anymore. For developers, this might be a problem (or a business) as they will have to rewrite their products. Apple is a behemoth that does not support Flash. Two Steve's are actually moving away from Flash, the other Steve is Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO. Imagine that? Two huge industry giants versus Adobe Flash! Is the future of Adobe Flash grim? Before addressing the real issue here, let's first look at why Flash is a target and not others.

15 Outstanding Tools to Collect, Organize and Share Your Web Experience

 Posted in: ToolsWeb DesignWritten by: Daniels MekšsMarch 19th, 2011

If you're a blogger, journalist or simply desire more knowledge, you've most definitely faced information organization problems. Sometimes being able to access and find information quickly is crucial. Nowadays the web is enormous and it's a big advantage to have a place where you can store all your bookmarks, pictures and links, access them anytime, anywhere and be able share them quickly. If you're as lazy as I am you've probably got something like a 'Do it later' folder in your bookmarks. And then you're just shoving links there until that list is the length of your screen. Sometimes you've got a great idea and you write it down on a notepad for example. Most likely you'd forget about it and never open it again. I'm kind of a pedant and I like when everything is organized neatly and quickly available. It's especially true with my web experience.

Pros and Cons of Freelancing: A Passion or a Profession?

 Posted in: FreelanceTipsWeb DesignWritten by: 1STWD EditorialApril 3rd, 2010

First of all we need to know what a freelancer is and what “freelancing” means? A freelancer is usually a self-employed person who works as a web designer, developer, content writer or even a blogger. More precisely, he contracts a small/medium (rarely large) task from various clients and receives money when the work is done. This means that, as a freelancer you can work at home while staying in your bed, anytime and keeping your own schedule.
