Support
The website was originally tested and designed for the Windows native browser Internet Explorer 6.0.x, Opera 7.11 browser, and Mozilla 1.7.1.. It has been enhanced to work with Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Firefox.
Regarding portability (transfer of information to other systems and browsers), my hope is that partial to complete compliance with certain web standards will allow users with browsers compliant with the standards listed below to view the information fine. I admit though that I have not standardized everything (e.g. my resume, resource documents, linking) nor done "rigorous" testing on looks. I have not been analytical down to the fine points mainly because this website is a pleasure activity as much as it is for learning and demonstration. So there is probably errors and non-compliance to some of the standards.
How this website was created
This site (artemis v.1) is my first attempt using web technologies like:
- XML (eXtensible Markup Language)
- XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations)
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
- RDF (Resource Description Framework)
- XHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup Language)
Though it is my second time using XHTML, I never used it to this large a scale. The main advantages of choosing these languages and data representations would be for long term maintenence of the page, portability, resource access, and being one of many examples of how a website can be made using these technologies. The disadvantages being the time taken to set up all the conversion processes and standardizing data.
These pages were designed and tested for use with transformations from XML core data using Microsoft's MSXML version 3. MSXML is Internet Explorer's own XSLT processor within the browser which generates HTML. The default HTML for the site is generated via Java using Apache's Xalan-J XSLT processor and Apache's Xerces XML processor from exactly the same XML source and same XSLT stylesheet.
If you have any questions or input regarding the technical or design aspects of the website, please do contact me as I love hearing feedback on ways to improve the site overall.
