[COLLECTING SOURCES] Zotero, a app that lets us collect sources very easily

-- Class Log--
In class today, we were showed how to use Zotero and its great features for collecting and crediting sources. Zotero was made by researchers, and its open source (yay!).
There was a problem about "installing" on the school PC. I believe you can install and use the app without getting permission (plus, you can launch the app from USB drive) by installing a "portable version" of Zotero.

With the portable version, you can carry the app with the USB and launch it with any device without re-installing. The DOWNLOAD LINK.


-- Dev Log--
From the fact that Zotero is open-source, i believe as a developer myself, creating a new Japanese article reading plugin for Zotero will be a great help for many users here in Japan.

Also, I believe integrating the whole app format to whole web app will help in cases of device support and the time that it takes to sync the data. Although this can be easily made, I don't have the permission to use Zotero's data reader and crawler. So, I will consider creating something like Zotero, but on the web. (I like the "turning feel" of how it is like creating Google Docs when there is Microsoft Word).

[LEARNED] Launching a Site & Rules of Design

Google Sites provides us a great service on creating a new website, sharing and staying connected simply. Today, we have learned about Google Sites. You can consider Google Sites as a Google Docs that allows you to publish sites with an awesome management tools and options for several new pages to add to your site. The introduction to Google Sites has lead us to learn some designing rules, which are the colours, images, and the fonts. Keeping the rules of design on my mind should help me on my presentation and projects.

[5/9] [ARCHIVE/REFLECT] About body languages

In the past, I have indeed learned about the posture to have when giving presentations, in the past class by Rab Paterson. In todays class, rather than learning what to do, we have learned about what to not do. Don't become a robot. Don't put coins in your pocket. Don't do martial arts style guarding (where it hides the center of your body).

[IDEAS] Two Types of Slide Designs

I believe that there are two types of designs for slideshows. The first design, is based on making each slide simple with images and minimum text. This method gives the viewers static image on what the speaker is talking about. The second design method I use is the "Material UI Design". Since it is a UI design, the whole design interacts to the users with geometrical and photographic elements animated and placed according to a layout. (the layout guidelines are set by Google). For example, if you were to tell a user about a new feature, this is what Material UI Design will solve the task: https://storage.googleapis.com/material-design/publish/material_v_12/assets/0B4kv-3uZbS1qQVhNbFlVdlNsOEE/engagement-featurediscovery-single-flow.mp4
