World Wide Web Forms

I really found this to be a good article for me based on the way it was structured. It covered everything there is to know about digitally compressing and sharing music on the web, with details put in for even the most technologically inept. However, it never bogged the reader down with too much jargon, and didn't overiterate things to the point where it became difficult to the reader. Props to the writer of this article, as writing about how to put music on the internet and making ti interesting is no easy feat, I'm sure.

For someone like me, who is very limited in his scope on how the internet works, this articlle introduced a lot of concepts without being overly frightening. A lot of terms that I had heard before but never understood, such as bandwith and compression, were susinctly and simply explained, which is appreciated. After explaining the termonology, the writer did a great job of giving ideas on how to implement the concepts. I wouldn't have been creative enough to come up with ideas such as offering different-quality sound files for those with different bandwidths. Another thing I really appreciate is the HTML code to allow viewers to download mp3 files to their computer. Even in my current situation, I have had times when I needed to give some of my peers music files from a distance. Creating a small webpage with links to those files would have been a huge help.
