Week 12 - Publishing

Components of website publishing
1) Hosting
2) Domain

There are chargeable hosting and domain.
There also free hosting and domain.

www.freeservers.com
- has template

blog
- has template
- has widget
- space besar (berbanding dulu)

blogspot (google punya)
- gmail --> besar, simple, memenuhi keperluan pengguna
- pemasaran
- teknologi

Choosing a commercial web host
- reliability
- data transfer (traffic / bandwith)
- disk space
- technical support
- platform / os
- php, asp, cgi, mysql ftp, telnet
- SSL (secure  server)
- linux / windows / coldfusion - hosting


- trend hosting --> bertukar pada Apps
- 3 step untuk bangunkan apps
- flash baru, boleh terus tukar pada apps
- sekali upload di google play - USD25

ftp
- sangat mudah

File manager vs Ftp
- Commercial web host - File manager n FTP
- Free web host - File manager only (susah nak upload / download, file by file)

Example of commercial web hosting
- articulate x
- internet-webhosting.com
- wordpress.com (translation, template based)
- blogengin.net

kenapa perlu LUKIS design?
- Interaction design - participant design
- design datang dari USERS
- participant design - applicable to ICT website, Architecture, etc

Potential Research
- DESIGN sahaja can be a research on its own
- emotion in online learning - trend
- second life - free virtual environment (avatar)
- ineraction design - boleh sampai peringkat masters dan phD
- research mesti berdasarkan yang boleh dikembangkan dan dikecilkan scopenya dan menjadi
  sole expert dalam bidang tu
- University Rad.. Holland, menghasilkan nobel laureate prize winners
- setiap course perlu masukkan banyak unsur research - cadangan dr. henry


Degree
- melatih supaya boleh buat kerja

Masters
- specific bidang
- pakar dalam bidang yang general

pHD
- customized research
- pakar dalam scope bidang yang specific
- contribution of your knowledge

Waa! Enough topic for today, okay.. basically Dr. Fandy implied that the design business can be further explore, not jus in the website.. but also in petty teaching techniques...
