I'm game <g>
> How many documents would you consider "a lot"?
1,000+ but it depends on the situation - a document house might consider
1,000,000+ "a lot"
> How many database records would you consider "a lot"?
Situation depending - if you're talking a number of employee records,
then it could be 500, if you're looking at activitiy of users over a
database, then you're looking in the millions
> How many lines of code in a document is "a lot"?
A single file? Less than a thousand
> What file size for a web graphic would you consider small?
Less than 100bytes <g>
Seriously, it depends on what the file is - if it's a high resolution
photo, then you could be talking several hundred kb and still call it
"small"
> What file size for a web graphic would you consider large?
Anything which is "bloated" for what it should be - for example, if
somebody saves a graphic which should clearly be a GIF in JPG format,
and it's about 2-3 times the size of the GIF, then that's "large"
Or when people put 1,000x1,000 graphics on their site, but resize them
with the HEIGHT and WIDTH paramters down to about 50x50 - that's LARGE
:P
> How many htm validation errors would you consider too many?
Depends on the site's use - for an Intranet application where you know
the user-base, as many as you want - for the general public, then it
depends on the level of the error - we try to keep our documents as
"clean" validation wise as possible
> What htm page size in KB would you consider too large?
Depends on the usage - a page which is used to generate a report could
be several hundred kb big, and all be information - if you have a "Hello
World" type page with loads of redundant HTML in it, then that's LARGE
> What htm page size in KB would you consider just right?
A page with limited white space, not over-used HTML tags for the sake of
the tags, and the right amount of information - whatever size that ends
up as <g>
> What is the "right" screen resolution?
Depending on usage:
For the average Internet user, 800x600 or 1024x768
For development, 1280x1024 per screen :)
> What makes an html page "too long"?
> How many items in a list are too many?
Not breaking a page up into segments - readability is far more important
that having one page with everything on it
> How many items in a list are too few?
ONE! Seriously, I've seen it!
> How many iteams in a list are just right?
Enough to convey the information in a concise way, without having too
much bloat or too little information
Wooly answers? Yes, but it all depends on the situation :)
