Medium Post - Software Butler

By -
After reading this article,  I was blown away by how Zuckerberg’s AI “Jarvis” processed commands and improved its own performance. Jarvis can do much more than just play music, turn on lights, and manage the home’s alarm system, which is what similar systems on the market can do. Zuckerberg has developed this impressive software to take commands via text, entertain his one-year-old daughter, understand who commands are coming from, and even learn patterns from its users in order to continuously perform with greater accuracy. This technology sounds like it would need support from a house filled with IoT devices, however, Jarvis does not require the home alarm or the thermostat to be connected to the internet, making this technology less intrusive and more secure.

Bootstrap Studio seems to have a lot of potential. It's user interface is simplistic and removes the need for hard coding. The software makes website design a swift process without the hassle. However, the demo is very limiting in terms of assets and restricting in design. I found it difficult to fulfill my idea and had to resort to using the templates.

A Case Study (?) of a JavaScript Problem

By -
This week at work, I ran into a very basic problem that needed to be solved with JavaScript. It involved lots of trial and error, but after 3 hours or so, I finally solved it. I wrote an article on my personal blog detailing my thought processes and research trail, in case anyone is interested:  http://emilyserven.net/2016/09/30/js-problem.html (I also included a bunch of footnotes, so if any jargon is confusing, it should hopefully be explained in those.)

UI Animations Medium Post

v https://uxplanet.org/3-key-uses-for-animation-in-mobile-ui-design-4d7c482dd84b#.3p0xvb9y      So over the past few weeks I've been doing a lot of reading on animations and uses for animation on web.  To me being able to make a website or app feel like it's alive is a great feeling. It adds so much to the interactivity. By simply adding small animations the page suddenly feels alive. It can also make the user experience better overall.      An example is the use of animated loading screens or progress indicators. Using a creative progress indicator reduces the user perception of time. Animations can also make the sit or app seem better than it really is.  Another really useful time to use animations is when drawing the users attention. A good example of this is in notifications.  By animating the notification you can draw the users attention more easily. Overall animations should be used in most websites and can add a lot of value to the user and the creator.
