Class Activity 1 : Flash Animation

Salam Dr. Zaidatun and frens,

Feel free to visit my first flash movie here:
MyFlash tutorial >>
Do not hesitate to leave your comment...
thanks..

Where's the idea comes from?
 The main idea is to create the human life cycle.. but i found too hard to sketch human body.. the  i got the idea to create some background with the animal.. more easy to sketch... i separate the body and head design.. then we can move with the different motion at different keyframe.. One more thing.. cat design totally different picture.. only play with our keyframe..

Lenght?
About 4 hours

Difficulties that u face when designing the animation.
Sure there are very difficult thing is to get an idea.. huhu

17Qs to share...

Standalone Applications and Web.
1. Are both using the same technology?
Nope.. stand alone normally used without network connection while Web with network and internet connection

2.What are the differences?
Standalone application runs on personal computers and work stations, so when we test the desktop application we are 
focusing on a specific environment. We will test complete application broadly in categories like GUI, functionality, 
Load, and backend i.e. DB.
Web application is a bit different and complex to test as 
tester don’t have that much control over the application. Application is loaded on the server whose location may or 
may not be known and no exe is installed on the client machine, we have to test it on different web browsers. Web 
applications are supposed to be tested on different browsers and OS platforms so broadly Web application is 
tested mainly for browser compatibility and operating system compatibility, error handling, static pages, backend 
testing and load testing.

3. When is the appropriate time to develop standalone applications or web-based application?
Normally standalone application was developed for individual purpose adn the installation only through single computer at one time. While web application normally used by multiple user to share the information and can be access by many user at one time..

4. Which one you prefer? 
For me, i prefer using web technology

Genius Komputer

Assalamualaikum and Salam 1 Malaysia,

hari ini saya terbaca satu artikel dalam surat khabar kosmo.com.my.. amat menarik yang mana sekumpulan pelajar yang genius kini menjadi rebutan syarikat gergasi-gergasi komputer.. semoga paparan akhbar ini dapat menaikkan semngat kita untuk membangunkan sebuah aplikasi yang menarik.. insyallah : berita penuh seperti di bawah yang saya petik dari akhbar berkenaan :


4 pelajar bakal saingi Zuckerberg



dari kiri ZUCKERBERG, Dan Thompson, Feross Aboukhadijeh dan Ashkay Kothari


NEW YORK, Amerika Syarikat (AS) - Empat pelajar AS yang merupakan usahawan muda kini menjadi rebutan syarikat gergasi Internet, lapor akhbar Daily Mail semalam.
Mereka dianggap sebagai genius Internet selepas mencipta beberapa aplikasi komputer yang berpotensi besar untuk dimajukan.
Kejayaan empat bakat baharu itu menyebabkan mereka turut menjadi buruan syarikat-syarikat gergasi Internet temasuk, Facebook, Google dan YouTube yang tidak mahu terlepas peluang untuk mengambil mereka bekerja.
Mereka muncul selepas kejayaan Mark Zuckerberg menghasilkan laman sosial Facebook bersama beberapa rakannya yang lain semasa belajar di Universiti Harvard.
Seorang usahawan muda itu, Feross Aboukhadijeh, 20, yang pernah bekerja di Facebook dan menjadi rakan Zuckerberg, mencipta nama kerana menghasilkan laman web YouTube Instant yang dapat menyiarkan klip video carian pengguna dengan cepat.
Laman web tersebut kini dilawati lebih sejuta kali manakala pelajar Universiti Stanford di AS itu turut mendapat tawaran kerja daripada firma enjin carian Internet, Google.
Dia pernah bertaruh dengan seorang rakan bahawa dia dapat menghasilkan laman web YouTube Instant dalam masa sejam.
"Saya kalah pertaruhan itu," katanya dalam temu bual bersama majalah tempatan, New York.
"Saya mengambil masa tiga jam untuk menyiapkan laman web tersebut," tambahnya lagi.
Seorang lagi pelajar, Joseph Huang turut menarik perhatian nama-nama besar Internet kerana mencipta sistem pengesanan global (GPS) yang dinamakan WiFiSlam untuk kegunaan dalam bangunan.
Aplikasi Android ciptaannya boleh memandu arah di dalam bangunan dengan teknologi tersebut berpotensi untuk dijual sebagai sistem navigasi untuk digunakan di dalam muzium dan pusat beli-belah.
Seorang lagi pelajar, Ashkay Kothari pula mengasaskan aplikasi berita, The App yang dibeli sebuah firma Internet pada harga AS$4 juta (RM12.2 juta), lima minggu selepas ia dihasilkan.
Turut tidak ketinggalan menjadi tumpuan penggiat industri Internet ialah pelajar dari negeri New Hampshire, Dan Thompson yang pakar menghasilkan pengaturcaraan Internet yang sukar. - Agensi

My first MPT1193 Class - 13/09/2011

Assalamualikum.. and hello frens..
alhamdullillah selepas cuti semester yang begitu panjang kita menyambung semula pengajian kat UTM.. Minggu pertama untuk kelas Authoring System MPT 1193 Dr Zaidatun banyak bercerita tentang penggunaan aplikasi yang akan kita gunakan sepanjang satu semester bagi subjek ini... nampak mmg menarik especially penggunaan flash yang dah lama sangat kat pasaran tapi tak berapa dikuasai.. minat dari dulu tue mmg ada, tapi tak berapa kreatif la kot... huhu...along this semester almost seven week kita akan mempelajari and menggunakan this software...


Flash is very powerful tools especially membuat animasi and montaj....
Then another thing yang kita orang akan belajar adalah menggunakan dreamweaver... this part yang paling saya suka.. Membangunkan sistem menggunakan ASP and PHP atau interactive web system... Most of the time nowadays, people more prefer menggunakan this technology especially dengan capaian internet yang semakin maju... malah budak-budak kecik pun boleh lepak-lepak kat kedai mamak and surf the net. that why this technology system interactive become more popular.. contoh paling popular sekarang ini adalah laman sosial facebook yang dibangunkan menggunakan PHP dan dibantu beberapa media yang lain...
This course evaluation almost take 70% adalah assigment.. and another 30% is final exam...lagi bagus and selamat... maknanya kena score bebetul dalam tugasan... secara ringkasnya:

  • Assignment 1 : 25%
  • Assignment 2 : 20%
  • Portfolio (Blog) : 10%
  • Lab Works (in class) : 15%
  • Final Exam : 30%
Kelas pertama ini juga diperkenalkan dengan authoring system... Authoring sistem ini adalah satu program yang digunakan untuk membantu kita membangunkan satu program yang interaktif dan mengandungi media pelbagai atau multimedia... Penggunaan authoring sistem ini begitu meluas bagi membantu pelbagai organisasi dalam memudahkan aktiviti harian mereka... Contoh yang paling baik adalah http://www.frog.com yang mana menyediakan pembelajaran dan permaianan interaktif dan multimedia bagi para pelajar...
Akhirnya diharap saya dapat belajar dan menghasilkan sistem dan grade yang baik sepanjang mengikuti kelas authoring system ini.. terima kasih kerana sudi membaca...
