「愛台灣，我的選擇」系列第二發

「我就是在台灣找到了《靈山》的中文版，這本書的作者是第一個榮獲諾貝爾獎的華人[高行健]，但中國從來沒有真正承認過這個得主。做為一個經濟官，我們大概知道優秀的合作夥伴要具備什麼特質。的確，美台之間也許有些貿易障礙，但就整個台灣經濟體系的價值觀而言，以及像美國一樣作為一個開放的民主社會，能有這樣的合作夥伴對我的工作來說是非常珍貴的。台灣政府充分響應民意，並奠基了創新創業和知識自由的基礎，就是這樣的知識自由有助於建立知識型社會及知識型經濟，台灣、美國就是很好的例子。在台灣這樣允許言論自由、反覆試驗不怕失敗的環境下，研發才得以存在並精進，相反的，沒有這些自由就沒有好的研發。派駐台灣可說是我經濟官職涯中的亮點，而且，比起其他我去過的地方，台灣人民真的非常友善，也非常尊重他人。」安恬（Dannielle Andrews）美國在台協會經濟組組長。

＊安恬女士來台之前，曾擔任美國國務院法律事務局區域全球功能事務辦公室代理副助卿。她於2017年6月以優異成績畢業於美國國防大學，取得國家戰爭學院國家安全戰略碩士學位，以及資訊網路空間學院網路安全證書。安恬女士於2002年加入國務院，並曾任職於美國駐瀋陽總領事館、美國駐巴西巴西利亞大使館，以及美國駐迦納阿克拉大使館。她也曾先後於美國國務院擔任中國暨蒙古事務辦公室經濟組組長，核能風險降低中心資深觀察官，以及經濟暨商業事務局助理。在加入國務院之前，安恬女士曾於加州總體經濟研究公司擔任研究員及客戶關係主管；她也在巴西、中國和迦納積極參與志工活動。安恬女士先後取得維吉尼亞州威廉斯堡威廉與瑪麗學院學士學位，以及德州大學奧斯汀分校碩士學位。她通曉葡萄牙語、中文、俄語及西班牙語。#WhyIChoseTaiwan #愛台灣我的選擇 #RealFriendsRealProgress #美台關係 #真朋友真進展

Why I Chose Taiwan #2

“It’s here in Taiwan that I got a version of 靈山, which was written by a PRC author who the Chinese have never actually acknowledged as the first Chinese person to win a Nobel prize for literature...As an econ officer, we all kinda know who the great partners are. Yes, there are some barriers to trade between the U.S. and Taiwan, but in terms of the overall value of the economic system and to Taiwan having a society like ours, it’s invaluable to my work. Taiwan is responsive to its citizenry, which lays the foundation for entrepreneurship and intellectual freedom. Intellectual freedom is what helps build knowledge-based societies and knowledge-based economies, like Taiwan’s, like the United States’. Research and Development, exist and are perfected in places like this, not in places where you aren’t allowed to express freely what is tested, failed, tested again. I already know that this is the highlight of my economic officer career. Also, the kindness and respect for your fellow human being that I found here more than anywhere else that I’ve been when I’ve traveled around.” Dannielle Andrews, AIT’s Economic Section Chief.

Prior to her arrival in Taiwan, Ms. Andrews served as Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Regional, Global, and Functional Affairs in the Department of State’s Bureau of Legislative Affairs. She graduated with honors in June 2017 with a Master of Science in National Security Strategy from the National War College and a certification in CyberSecurity from the College of Information and Cyber Space at the National Defense University.

麻煩大家幫忙
留下優秀的一家人

他們來自波多黎各
父母親都是名校約翰霍普金大學的電腦碩士
(Master Degree in Computer Science - Johns Hopkins University at Laurel, MD)
他們著五個孩子，到全世界學習
Diego 17歲 Paula 13 歲 Alonzo 12 歲
Felizi 8 歲 Matteo 6 歲

八月，他們到了台灣
發覺這是一個非常適合的生活環境
有好的醫療、中文學習環境、電腦產業、和超好吃的水果
九月，Diego , Paula, Alonzo進入惠文高中寄讀
他們來了之後，學校形成一個很棒的英語學習情境
台灣學生都被迫用英文跟他們互動

星期五與台北歌德學院簽訂德國「PASCH夥伴學校」時
他們三個和學校弦樂社一起合奏卡農(見影片)
非常非常有教養的一家人

然而他們11月就必須離開台灣
因為他們來台灣的第五天
得到美國總公司的通知
他們收掉波多黎各的公司
爸爸Tommy失業了
所以這幾天，他在台中接一個英文家教
但經濟仍是問題

如果台中的朋友可以提供11月4日前的短期英文、西班牙文家教工作
或是提供長期電腦工程師的工作
麻煩和Tommy聯絡
以下是他的聯絡方式及完整資歷
(願意幫他們申請工作簽證更好)
他們很願意把台灣當成第二個家

PS
覺得政府說要把英文變成第二語言
最棒的方式是吸引國外的學生進入我們的校園
在人才即國力的年代
讓優秀的國際人才留在台灣
如果在台灣就有很好的英語學習環境
我們就不用一窩蜂跑到國外

 Mr. Irizarry developed a web based application for the State Home Per Diem Office, which manages millions of dollars in payments to the state homes, to replace an Access database. The Access database was converted to MS SQL Server database and all data was migrated successfully. He created a web based interface using the standard VA intranet look and feel. He also developed a custom interface for each of the 3 roles (CBO, VAMC and VISN). Tools were built for the administrator to view current reports, view missing reports lists, and configure many parameters in the application. The VAMC report form was heavily automated using jQuery to perform auto calculations, increasing data validation and saving time to the users. After the application was launched users commented frequently about how user friendly is the new interface and about the time savings. Tasks that will take 2 hours to be completed now take 15 minutes. We have close to 12,000 reports in the system.

He created an Excel template which management will upload to an FTP server with information and details about remote employee access and the sensibility of the data accessed by those users. He also created VB Scripts to validate those Excel files an upload that information into an MS SQL database. Reports for upper management in Central Office were then created which prompted management to enforce stronger security measures, like hard drives encryption.

工程師怎麼學視覺設計
美學相對於其他理論是較為抽象、主觀的
但並非沒有快速上手的方法
首先要先將問題簡化
修圖、色彩學、排版、UI、字型學先視為獨立理論
我們應專注在特定的主題上學習

### 設計的基準，整齊 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
這是最簡單也是最難的
在一開始不要挑戰 "有特色" 的排版
而是依據不同的平台、載具、呈現環境
參考相依的設計文件規範來制定格線
然後將物件依據格線排列
Web 來說可以參考 Bootstrap
Android 可以參考 Material Design 等
觀念可參考：https://material.io/guidelines/layout/responsive-ui.html#responsive-ui-grid

### 色彩的配置 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
在美感之前
色彩是用來吸引目光的
以網頁來說我們可以把用途歸類三個等級
1. 內容、不重要的訊息等 (黑、白、灰階)
2. 可操作的內容，主要的訊息、品牌色調 (主色)
3. 最重要的行為，例如購買 (強調色)
依據這個配置只能選擇兩個色彩
主色、強調色
主色用於大部分的情境
強調色只在唯一最重要的行為 (甚至不使用)
剩下都是黑、白、灰階
這是目前相當主流的配色方法
簡單、穩定、且訊息傳達力強
觀念可參考：https://material.io/guidelines/style/color.html#color-usability

### 字體配置 ⭐⭐⭐
字體可以表現出一句文字的
文化、語氣、重要性、氣質、個性等等
就如同我們看日本人與其他亞洲人
就算沒有透過語言
從行為舉止及穿著幾乎可以認定氣質上的差異

簡化說明
字體就類型上分為兩大類
- 無襯線字體 - 也稱為黑體
- 有襯線字體 - 也稱為明體、宋體
以識別性來說首推黑體
可以避免在不同系統上的呈現落差
中文可用：Noto Sans、蘋方、微軟正黑體
英文可用：Helvetica Neue, Roboto, Segoe UI, Ubuntu ...
(英文可用的非常多，以上只是常見的)

---
除了以上說明外
不外乎就是多看相關文件
以及實作練習
可參考設計文件：
- Material Design
- iOS Human Interface Guidelines
- Bootstrap
Bootstrap 嚴格來說不算是純設計文件，
但其中觀念非常值得參考
