I was on an interview when the perspective employer asked whether I was
familiar with standards regarding the formatting of screens, the best
colors to choose for ease of viewing, etc. She didn't know the name and
her description of the relative standards was vague (she said "it's called
something like 'workflow'"). Can anybody help with this one?
Also, would someone be so kind as to inform me what SGML is? This was also
brought up, and she stated that you can go to a certification program or
something to learn the standards.(?????) Please advise.
