Fun fact about the phrase shopping cart: it’s an American English term. In the United Kingdom, the thing you push around in a grocery store is a trolley. The smaller version you carry around is called a basket in both countries. Online in the UK, ecommerce sites tend to use shopping basket instead of shopping cart. For example, if you look at the Amazon.com site you’ll see “cart”. If you visit Amazon.co.uk, you’ll put items in a “basket”. Regardless of terminology, the functionality is the sa...

Whether it’s a web or native user interface, automatic tabbing has been the best invention since cooked food. Users can fill out an online form on desktop or phone, with the form guiding them conveniently through by automatically advancing to the next field. What happens if you don’t have focus functionality in place for auto-tabbing? What impact does do incorrect input field types have on the user experience?

In the article Buttons in UI Design: The Evolution of Style and Best Practices, UX Planet takes us through a journey in time, from three-dimensional drop shadow buttons to skeuomorphic buttons that looked like real-life objects. There are many different ways to create and implement buttons, whether you are dragging and dropping, programming a button or something else. How do you diagnose the cause if tapping a logout button crashes in a Swift-built app?

Xcode, Android Studio, React js, Angular js, Xamarin, no matter your guilty pleasure for app building, you’ve utilized view controllers. Enticing users screen by screen, designing and developing an interface that speaks to their user behavior. What happens if a view controller is not retaining data when a user navigates to another screen?

In order to understand transmitted transfers you must first become familiar with the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model, one of the most useful things I learned while studying Information Science. Not only is the OSI model important for understanding network security, it’s important for understanding FTP technology. Developed by the International Standards Organization, the OSI model divides network communication into seven layers. Each layer takes care of a very specific job, and then p...

I felt a sense of nostalgia writing this, so much that I had to look up the history of webforms. In the early days, web forms were used mainly for search and submission tasks. The interface was very basic, HTML-based with no CSS styling. By 1994 we were able to order pizza online. Not long after this, Amazon and eBay launched, both using web forms. Web forms have constantly evolved over the years. What happens if a web form only uses basic validation and data validation?

For an interview early in my career, I created a website showcasing my javascript scrolling marquee skills. Don’t laugh at me. I know now, that it wasn’t the best way to showcase my talents. Even today, Javascript is used to develop some pretty advanced things, such as storing and defining values for forms. What happens when the field of a form displays an undefined primitive data type or value, rather than the entered value? What happens if users can’t complete sign up because of this?

How many times have you registered or signed up on a site with your mobile device? Your big fingers clumsily typing away as you switch your keyboard from text to special characters. Wait, let’s not forget that you also need uppercase and lowercase characters. You’ve entered your password once and now you are being asked to enter it again. It probably made you just want to abandon the form and say, “forget this!” It turns out that you’re not alone.

This is the decade of “do it yourself”. With the rise of entrepreneurship and emerging technology everyone wants to create their own website, or expand on it. Expanding on your online presence can include creating a subdomain or getting the right subdomain on another platform or website. What happens if there’s a bug preventing subdomain creation?

Dear Computer Science majors, everything you learned in data structures class was for online shopping. Nowadays it’s pretty clear what arrays and sorting can be used for. Data algorithms have taken the Internet by storm for quite some time now. However, if you were a CS major in the late 90’s like I was, you probably wondered how they would fit into everyday life.
