Subject:Web based application naming conventions From:Claire Philpott <claire -dot- philpott -at- alphanova -dot- co -dot- uk> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Sun, 10 Dec 2000 16:09:15 +0200
Dear All,
I'm writing a User Guide for a Web based application. This is my first shot
at this kind of application, all my previous experience is with Windows
based applications.
My query.
In windows I would say, for example, "Services are defined in the Services
Definition window."
To what do I refer for a web based application?
"Services are defined in the Services Definition page."
or
"Services are defined in the Services Definition screen."
BTW if any one can point me to a book like the Microsoft manual of Style
regarding web conventions I would be very grateful.
Regards
Claire Philpott
