Dr Norasykin also make an announcement for weekend workshop under Educational Faculty  on 15 the Feb 2014 ( Saturday) - " Microsoft Word course for Thesis"  .She also explaining on the differences of domain or webpage based on the purpose of the webpage. For example :

• . edu - educational  ( http://www.upm.edu.my) 
• .com- commercial   (http://www.yahoo.com)
• .gov - government   (http://www.moe.gov.my)

Apart from that, she also share her experience attended a  course for  mobile apps  - the application was made using note++ . After listening to her explanation on mobile apps.  My conclusion is note ++ is a hybrid of note application and dreamweaver .  An  interesting topic because this is my first time expose basically  to  the other side  of mobile apps although always use my mobile to browse around by click on  the icon on my phone (eg : instagram ).Another site recommended by her and related to build up mobile apps is jquery mobile : http://www.jquerymobile.com .

In the computer lab -Both software is under Adobe Master Collection CS3 package along with others software available in this package. (Will update the list later next week entry..).

 Before start blogging , as a newbie i  need to search for information related to blogging , such as criteria of good blogs...Hope i can follow this guidelines... :)

guidelines

From my observation and  hands on practical, we need to play around all the button - try and error...my advice don't be afraid to change anything in the blog options .. just 3 simple steps : read ,choose and try.If you love the option use it, if not change it back.. ;)
