Think aloud prototyping

Think aloud, otherwise referred to as think-out-loud is a protocol used in usability testing to help the facilitator understand the emotional and practical user experience of a product or prototype. Think aloud requires the user to not only say his or her thoughts out loud, but also to explain and justify them. For example, in a think aloud usability test for a website, a user might click on a link and might justify this action by explaining that they are interested in the product that the button is said to link to. Think aloud differs from talk aloud, which only requires a statement of intention, such as, “I will click here”. We are going to interview a person using think aloud prototyping. In this task we are going to give chance to a person who are not familiar with this site and tell him/her to do some tasks using that site.While he/she doing it, we are going to video what are he/her doing and him/her facial expressions. Here are some questions we are going to ask from that person.

                                                    Learn java from the beginning is an article series to teach you JAVA programming language from the beginning. In this article series I hope to teach you not only programming side of java but also very important theoretical parts in java language. My first article will help you to get a good start to learn java. Let’s start with a brief history of java. In 1991 James Gosling and his team from Sun Micro-systems made the foundation to develop java language.  They aimed to design a platform independent programming language to program home appliances which are controlled by a wide variety of computer processors. Originally this language is called “Oak” and in 1995 its name changed to “Java”. There was a very beautiful story goes with name “Java”. The developing team of this language want to register this language with the name “Oak”. When it was discovered there was already existed another programming language with same name. Therefo

Cloud Computing

The term "cloud computing" is everywhere. In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. Cloud computing is a term used to refer to a model of network computing where a program or application runs on a connected server or servers rather than on a local computing device such as a PC, tablet or smartphone. Like the traditional client-server model or older mainframe    computing, a user connects with a server to perform a task. The difference with cloud computing is that the computing process may run on one or many connected computers at the same time, utilizing the concept of visualization. With visualization, one or more physical servers can be configured and partitioned into multiple independent "virtual" servers, all functioning independently and appearing to the user to be a single physical device. Such virtual servers are in essence disassociated from their
