Cutting edge trends in web design.

            In today's digital world Web design is among the fastest growing  careers. The internet has become an essential  part of ones daily lives starting from business user to any individual. In the recent past we are all acquainted with web design just the way we are with the internet. Web design trends are always changing as the content, layout , graphics of the internet has to stay updated according to the needs of the users. So the web design trends are continuously updating itself and adopting new technologies available in the market.

               Responsive and intuitive layouts are an increasing trend shown by  The World Wide Web these days. This is helpful and important especially for the mobile users to view important information on the web on a small platform. There is also a trend showing  to make the layout  universal so that web designers don’t have to create multiple codings, and can instead use one set of code that is uniform and also easily adaptable to new technologies. Another  first growing trend  is retina support. This means twice as many pixels in a given space as the retina displays require dense layouts to maintain a sharp image .The Apple’s newest iPad and other devices now support this technology and it has become like an ice cream topping for the companies. This means  web design courses these days include sections on how to code  a retina friendly layout. Computer courses will focus on building sites that focus on these new technologies so that users have the best experience. Both of these web design trends have influenced  mobile devices the most. The  header bar that is fixed and frequently seen on  web sites on all social media has  seen a surge in the last year. This had made site navigation easier from any platform.

                 These are the latest trends in web design.Another important and first growing trend is The Scorll Triggered Call-to-Action.Sometimes when you are not fairly certain the the user has not finished reading you don’t want to overwhelm content with calls-to-action.This is where the scroll trigerred call-to-action comes.Taken for example when an article is browsed in the New York Times the next article in the series will only come when one has reached the bottom of the current article.Another ongrowing trend is the use of user badges adopted by the websites.This has increased the participation and interest of the viewers.The animated html multiheader has made it easier to access multiple links all under a single header.Its advantage is two fold.Embeded infographics and designing around with illustration has made a site all the more colorful and acceptable to the gen-y users.Creative content format is also enpther trend contributing to better web designing these days.So a career in web design is no doubt increasing by leaps and bounds and there are a very few computer related courses with such versatile opportunities.

Agile Project Management.

           Agile Project Management is an iterative method of managing the design for information technology,engineering and other service development projects for example agile software development.Agile management techniques are best used small-scale projects or in complex projects which are tough for the customers to understand.Highly skilled individuals from relevant busyness are required with efficient supplier and customer input.They are also linked with Lean techniques, Kanban and Six sigma.It is sometimes called extreme project management.This is a part of the iterative life cycle where the deliverables are to be submitted in stages.But there is a basic difference between agile and iterative development.A small portion of the derivable is completed in each delivery cycle in agile development.Whereas,the iterative method submits the entire derivable at the end of the project making it more complex.                                                                                                                                                         

Agile Training.                                                                                                                                               Agile certified professionals offers agile training in many rightly affiliated institutions or may be online in some cases. Studies have revealed that agile training is gaining momentum in the recent past compared to scrum training. In a three day agile fundamental course additional knowledge is given to delve deep into initiation, governance and leadership practices handle a project fruitfully. On the other hand a scrum training for two days gives only a detailed understanding of the scrum process. Agile  training includes-1. Agile Fundamental Training, 2. Experience on at least one agile project, 3. Agile facilitation and 4. Iteration Management training. A complete agile curriculum with Agile fundamentals followed by a role based training helps a participant to become a Certified ICAgile Professional.                                                                                                        

Agile Project Management Training.

           Agile Project Management Training provides an organization with a more structured approach to project management. It provides a way to implement high-priority initiative program. In order to successfully implement projects agile project management is very useful which is  a set of frameworks  covering people, techniques and products. Agile is both suitable for software or system development and also for managing all sorts of business change. Agile Project Management Training goes through a number of steps. It includes programs like Agile (DSDM) with PRINCE2, Agile and Scrum Awareness, Agile Awareness Executive Overview, Agile Foundation and Practitioner , Agile Project Management and Agile Seminar. This training focuses on how to handle an agile project,  laying foundation for successful agile projects and clarify various management styles needed for successful agile projects.                                     

Agile Certification.                                                                                                                                               Agile Certification is a global benchmark for judging agile capability which helps one to master the hows and whys.Such certifications tells us that a person has been exposed to a particular knowledge or has passed a test in this field of knowledge.Gaining mere knowledge is good but to transform it to business one needs performance achieved through skill.A skill based certification shortens the hiring process and certified individuals are given first priority.Real projects needs much of learning and through knowledge.So,at the end of the day this learning is worth certification.Knowledge based certifications such as Certified Scrum Master and Foundation as easy to achieve.Higher level certification needs a project experience, a written project synopsis and a viva.

বাঙালির mall-culture

     আজ বিকেলে সোনালি free নেই।Plan-বন্ধুদের সাথে আড্ডা আর window shopping। হুড়মুড় করে সবাই mall-এ ঢুকতেই সোনালি বলল, “ hey guys, lets have some coffee first”।

     শুধু সোনালি নয়, যে দিকেই তাকান আপনার,আমার মাঝে ৯৯% বাঙালি-ই shopping mall-এ ঢোকা মাত্র মল,মূত্র ত্যাগ করার মতই বাংলা ভাষা ত্যাগ করে English বলতে শুরু করেন। এই প্রথা shopping mall নামক জায়গাটির rules and regulations-এর মধ্যে পরে কিনা তা এখনও জানা যায়নি। Shopping mall-এ যাওয়ার পথে বাস-এ যে বাঙালি পরিষ্কার বাংলায় মনের সাধ মিটিয়ে পরনিন্দা,পরচর্চা করেন সেই বাঙালির যে কেন shopping mall-এ ঢুকলেই এহেন পরিবর্তন ঘটে তাও অত্যন্ত চিন্তার বিষয়। মাস কাবারি বাজার করতে সাহা বাবু’র দোকানে গিয়ে, “রামু ৫০ মুগডাল দে তো” না বললে বাঙালির আশ মিটিয়ে বাজার করা হয় না।কিন্তু shopping mall-এ গিয়ে, “এক কিলো আলু কিনব” বললেই মহা বিপদ।

     এতো গেল বাংলা থেকে ইংলিশ-এ বঙ্গানুবাদ-এর পালা।এবার আসা যাক আড্ডা তে।যে বাঙালির মন সন্ধ্যে সাতটার পর-ই পারার রক এর প্রতি আকৃষ্ট হয়ে সেই আসল বাঙ্গালি।নিখাদ সোনা!কিন্তু এক্ষেত্রেও নতুন চমক!সদলবলে আড্ডা মারার উপযুক্ত যায়গা এখন shopping mall।বিনা পয়সায় A.C-র হাওয়ার হাতছানি উপেক্ষা করাটা ঠিক পরস্ত্রী-র দিকে তাকানোর অদম্য ইচ্ছা কে নিজের বউ এর নজরদারির ভয় মনে পুষে রাখার মতোই সাংঘাতিক!

     এবার আসা যাক shopping mall-এর এক এবং অদ্বিতীয় বৈশিষ্ট্য-তে...window shopping।শব্দ টির সম্ভাব্য মানে কেনার ইচ্ছা ছাড়াই দোকানে সাজানো জিনিসপত্র দেখা।মানে কেনার মত ট্যাঁকের জোর নেই বলে চোখ দিয়ে গিলে খাওয়া।অনেকটা দুধের স্বাদ ঘোলে মেটানোর মতো।তাতেই বাঙালির পরম তৃপ্তি।এখানেই সিমাবধ্য নয় shopping mall-এর বৈশিষ্ট্য।প্রেমের সহজ পাঠ পরা যুগলদের-ও এখন আর পড়ন্ত বিকেলের আলোয় ভিক্টোরিয়া আর বাদাম ভাজা পছন্দ নয়।প্রেমের নতুন ঠিকানা এখন food court।

    এক কথায় বলাই যায় বাঙালির সুখের সংসারে যায়গা করে নিয়েছে shopping mall।Shopping mall-এর রূপ,রস,গন্ধে বাঙালি মুহ্যমান।
