Psion 5 & Pocket Book - Creating Web Pages - Learners' Column
John Woodthorpe, Psion 5 and Pocket Book Columnist for Archive, has set up a website dedicated to supporting Psion users.
Written using Series 5 and Acorn machines, the site concentrates on the issue of connecting Psions to other computers. Much of the information from John's columns is available from the site, and it is updated regularly to track the software development effort.
Tim Wiser has taken on the task of describing the intricacies of web design.
Understanding the effect of HTML tags is but the first stage of web page design. Creating Web Pages explains how best to use the tools HTML provides to create an attractive and open design. To support his points, Tim has provided examples on his site; these will be expanded as further topics are covered in the column.
Tim's personal pages are also recommended as a demonstration of the principles described.
The Learners' Column is dedicated to the use of Acorn computers. It addresses some of the more obscure or less well-known features of RISC OS and the applications that run on it. Ray Favre is guided by readers' queries as he explores the techniques that make using the computer easier and more productive.
Originally the Beginners' Column, it was renamed because its contents were useful not just for the new Acorn user but for everyone - even the most experienced have something new to learn.
In the past, it has been suggested that Archive Magazine is too technical. To ensure that the needs of Acorn Users were not overlooked, Paul Beverley launched a Learners' Initiative; the Learners' Column is its flagship. Ray's website contains details of the topics that have been covered so far.
