Qualitative Verses Quantitantive

Posted in Uncategorized on March 22, 2009 by buu122

Qualitative

The Design Emerges As The Study Unfolds, The Reasearcher Only might know roughley what he or she is looking for. The Aim Of Qualitative Is A Complete Detailed Description. It is reccomended during the early phasis of research. The Data is in words, pictures or objects.

Quantitantive

The aim is to classify features also count the features and to construct statistical models in an atempt to explain what is observed. Another difference is in Quantitantive the researcher knows what they are looking for. The Researcher uses tools such as questionaires and graphs to help with gathering information and counting numbers. The data is in the form of numbers and statistics wheather in Qualitative Its Just words, pictures and objects.

Websites I Like

Bebo

The first website i enjoy would have to be bebo. Bebo is frequently changing and is a great way to stay in contact with all your friends online. It is really easy to use and log in. The homepage is designed so you can see what your friends have currently been doing with their page eg. adding pictures and adding new friends and commenting peoples pictures. Also A good thing about Bebos homepage is it lets you moderate and check your comments and tells you if you have any friend requests. Here is A link to bebo.

Under The Radarbringmethehorizon1

Under the radar is a new zealand based website that is used to find out when and where all the latest gigs and concerts are on. Under the radar is a quick and easy to use website with the main links to buying tickets and news links on the very top of the page big and bold. This website allows you to buy tickets cheaper then what you can normally get them, also when clicking on the tickets links it will bring up all the concerts and gigs around new zealand where they are and how much they cost. A great way to get tickets nice and easy.

Websites I Dont Like

WordPress

This is one website i havn’t yet quite got the hang off adding people and adding pictures and things to your homepage is slow and always a hassle. You should be able to add contacts from msn, gmail or yahoo. Not have to find individual people in person to blog with. Thats just lame. If you enjoy wordpress all i can say is good luck with that. Here’s a link.

Myspace

This is one social website that i do not like at all. It takes a lot of effort to make a good myspace layout page. If you didnt know how to use coding you would have no idea how to work this social side of the web. Its not good for people who dont know to much about computors comapared to bebo when you dont need to know how to code.  Another thing i dont like about myspace is the set up of your page.

Lecture

Posted in Uncategorized on March 2, 2009 by buu122

Today we had a lecture From Collin Phillips who is a successful  web designer.  He taught us about the history of the internet and how far it has come since early years.  I learnt that Pc’s are better then macs because there are a lot more people using Pc’s then there are macs around the world which means there will be  a lot more opportunity for web designers and computor it to get work using Pc’s. Collin phillips worked and designed the first Ford motor company then worked for Synergy for a period of time. Then he brought out the company basetwo and employed web designers to create a very successful buisness. Link to his website http://www.basetwo.co.nz

Graphics Comparison!

Posted in Uncategorized on February 24, 2009 by buu122

TonyHawk Project 8Xbox 360 has been out for over a year now but still can compare with the graphics in the ps3. The graphics in games like Cod3 (call of duty 3) are much better on xbox 360 than any other console The Xbox 360’s version is nice and gritty looking when the ps3 version looks far to washed.  When the ps3 came out it came out with a lot of versions of games from which the  Xbox 360 had already came out with. For example Tiger Woods and Tony Hawk Project 8.  In Tony Hawk Project 8 on xbox 360 the resolution is set a lot higher so when you are standing in like a dark garage looking out into a street you can see the brightness of both areas. On ps3 the Standing in a dark garage looking out onto the same street  Its just really bright and you are unable to see the street.  The ps3 does come with a few good things though like blue ray and its free connectivity to watch videos on the go.

Overall i think the graphics on xobox 360 are much better thought out and are much better the ps3!                              What do you think?
