Communication is very important in our daily lives. Unfortunately, there is a minority group of people who suffers from both speech and physical disability. For example, people with cerebral palsies (CP) suffer from speech and physical, and also mental disability in some cases. Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) or Assistive Communication tools have been developed to help them to communicate. However, due to the limitations of these tools, it is less efficient and effective in helping them. This research proposed an enhanced assistive communication tools as enhancement to the existing AAC tools. Results have shown that our proposed tool has the potential to assist people with Cerebral Palsy to communicate through facial expressions.

Web applications are an important platform in today's society, which humans rely on to complete daily tasks. Most of the web applications were developed with sophisticated, well-known, and powerful web development frameworks. While these frameworks evolve and grow at exponential rate, it become very complex, challenging to learn and no longer intuitive for web application developers, especially those who are inexperience and amateur. There is a need for a simpler web development framework which is sufficient for contemporary web application development. Pigeon-table is a simple module developed under ngPigeon project with the aim to generate web content, i.e. table using data from MySQL database with a single html tag. Pigeon-table is intuitive and easy to learn as it was developed with the principle “web developer-centred design” in mind. A pilot test was conducted in this study to evaluate the satisfactory level among amateur web application developers towards pigeon-table as nano-framework.
