Being a junior, mid-level, or senior developer isn’t just about years of programming experience you have. A junior developer can even be older than a senior developer. It all comes down to skill. But more than just coding skills, it is what differentiates the senior developer from the junior and mid-level developer. So what exactly are the differences? 1. Years of experiences A junior level programmer is a professional who has less than two years of experience. If he is above this time, then he can be considered mid-tier.

What is html?The HyperText Markup Language or HTML is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript.And why hypertext? Because it is not just about a sequential text, but about all the possible links that we can integrate in it, from other designed pages to complex tables, videos or games, among others.

HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, and is a protocol – or a prescribed order and syntax for presenting information -, used to transfer data over a network. Most information sent over the Internet, including website content and API calls, uses the HTTP protocol. How does HTTP works? The operation of the protocol, as we have already mentioned, is executed between a client and a server located somewhere in the world. Step by step, HTTP works like this: It all starts when we enter the browser and look for a web page, for example xupxup.net The browser understands that we are making an HTTP request.Read More →

The use of dynamic maps and geolocation in interactive experiences is continually improving. Right now there are many JavaScript Libraries available to help us to create dynamic maps and extend the functionality of the Google Maps APIs (and other data-set providers) with various customization options, check out the selection in Polymaps. You also have MapBox GL JS, which allows you to totally change the graphic style of your map, or you could integrate three.js into your maps using libraries such as Threebox. Take a look at 5 Inspirational Examples of Interactive Maps and Street View experiences in Web Design. 1.iMapa by CHYRKOV studio 2. ListeningRead More →

Stephen P. Anderson through his 2010 seminar, “Seductive Interaction Design,” where he looks at ways we can employ psychology to design interactions that are more fun, engaging, and effective. An example he gives of seductive interaction design in a set of stairs that have been painted to look like piano keys with sensors to play notes when stepped on. The design put use of the stairs up 66 percent in comparison of the stairs right next to them. There are many paths to creating the type of innovative designs Anderson describes, but often, the need for familiarity and intuitiveness in interaction design takes precedence overRead More →

Branding can be critically important when consumers decide whether to make a purchase, use a service, apply for employment, or sign up for a newsletter. While the perception of a brand cannot be strictly controlled, it can certainly be influenced by its User Interface and User Experience. Almost every aspect of a digital interface can influence the representation of an organization’s brand identity or “personality”, including: Visual design: how the UI looks Content design: how the UI is structured. Interaction design: how the UI feels Making changes in interaction design with an eye towards brand impact can be challenging. This challenge has to do withRead More →

The metaverse is a concept from science fiction that describes a single fully virtual 3d world that users can connect to via the internet and interact with each other and the virtual world around them.

Especially when the world looks and sounds so real that you are fully immersed the second you can’t do something youRead More →

Graphene, a sheet of carbon with only one atom thick, has spectacular strength, flexibility, transparency, and electrical conductivity. Encouraged by its potential, the application in new devices such as touch screens and solar panels, several researchers have tried to create ways to make large sheets of pure graphene . However, during the thirty years since the discovery of graphene, laboratory experiments have been able to produce mainly only simple pieces of the material, and mass production has been considered to be viable in a very distant in time. A group of researchers from Samsung and Sungkyunkwan University in Korea has produced a continuous layer ofRead More →

With the arrival of new technologies, museums “of the future” have become a reality that attracts the public thanks to experiences that go far beyond contemplating a painting or a sculpture.
