PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES, PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Git
Git is version control software, that keeps a track on the changes made to a file, so we can jump back to previous edition of the file.
It allows to work on parts separately and then merge them together.
We can branch i.e; parallely work on different iterations of the same project and select to keep one or merge parts from the various interactions to form a new one.
Git is distributed, every user has a separate repository, which he then merges into the main repository
GitLab
Git lab is a place to host and manage remote git repositories. It provides easy access and sharing of data
Steps to make Git repo and host them on GitLab
Git add -all
Git commit -m "Adding test file" (this adds all the files in the folder to the Git Repository)
git push origin master
Website Development
Adobe Muse offers great graphical tools for building a website. It works in perfect tandem with other Adobe softwares, making website development very agile.
Basic guidelines to work with Muse
Define the page width, 960 pixels generally works best on all screens.
Master layout defines the styling and navigation that will feature consistently across the entire website. ( + ) symbols around can be used to add more master layout on either side. To enter into the master layout, double click on the white space.
To add in menu, access the widget library and select menus, where the option of aligning them horizontal and vertical is available. Images can be added to the header by dragging and dropping them in. For text type T and drag the text box to the required size.
Menu buttons can be color coded to highlight the active page. Double click on the button, then fill and stroke color can be played around with.
Home page is created by default, then others can be added using the (+) button. Clicking on the (+) button at the bottom, creates sub-pages. Double clicking on the name activates the renaming option.
Text appearance can also be changed, by accessing the sates option. It can color differently for mouse rollover, etc
Widget library provides the option to add in sideshows. Clicked on the basic type and dragged it to the page.
References lines were added by holding down on the rulers and dragging to the page. This works wonders in getting everything aligned well.
