Imagine they (control structures) are like a police officer directing traffic around an accident, a really big accident. An accident that just about deleted the internets. They say turn, you turn. They say stop, you do it.

For is a control structure. It says ‘repeat this until Simon says stop.”‘

While is the same way.

If says ‘ONLY do this WHEN Simon says.’

That’s programming.

Oh, and else is the weird cling-on that follows If around and cleans up the leftover mess with a pooper-scooper.”

Using visual imagery to help me better understand how programming works, Chris has illustrated programming for me.

For today’s post I am posting some interesting links.

Milissa Tarquini’s Blasting the Myth of the Fold
When I first started my career as a web designer, I remember the old adage “design for the fold” & “don’t make the users scroll too much”. Milissa’s article argues that people are now use to scrolling and that the fold no longer has the relevance it use to. However, you still want to lay out the information and design on the page in order to encourage the user(s) to scroll to the remaining content below the fold.
