This site simplified my webpage and asked me to take out certain tags. After doing so, the page was still readable however, XHTML approved.

I have published a page that is up to XHTML standard. I used my recipe for peach daquiris for this validator service. I had nine errors when I first typed it in and after following the directions I was told that my document was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 transitional.

This is a free HTML tutorial site that requires "no prior knowledge of programming." It is a step by step, 15 lesson tutorial that is short with photo examples. It also promises to equip you with information that will have you creating a website within an hour. Simple. Quick. Easy to understand.

Some people collect coins or stamps. Imelda Marcos collected shoes. I collect domain names and have been registering different ones for over a decade. No, I'm not a squatter, but I did take KerryEdwards.org 18 months before there was a Kerry-Edwards ticket. They didn't offer to buy it. But I did sell TheFrequency.com to some guy for $15K; he hasn't done anything with it. I've used Network Solutions, Register.com, GoDaddy and Yahoo! Domains. If I'm maintaining a site myself, I usually stick to Yahoo! because it's dumbed down and easy to use. I have a Web Hosting Starter account there for my personal site www.ahoving.com. It takes a few extra clicks to get where I need to go to manage the files, but I haven't had too much trouble with it. You can upload files directly (no other FTP client needed). And there's none of that DNS stuff I sometimes run into that totally confuses me.

Review of Yahoo! Web Hosting

To paraphrase Denzel Washington's character in "Philadelphia" (Heck, this may even be a direct quote considering I've seen this film so many times... ): "I want you to explain it to me like I'm a two-year-old." This site does just that! When I am learning a new skill, I want material that is utterly foreign to me to be Kindergarten-ized as much as possible. I would not be the least offended if I saw the following (and hopefully with pictures!): "See Spot mark up the plain text document. Mark up the plain text document, Spot, mark up the plain text document!"

LearnStreet is an online education platform for coding languages such as Ruby, Python, and JavaScript (as of January 2013). The program is designed to help users learn fundamental coding skills and apply them to a number of real-world projects.

online education platform that democratizes coding via a completely new mindset and approach ­ for teaching people how to code.

Is Derek Jeter a future Hall of Famer? My page from Module 1's been updated to be XTHML/CSS friendly, with a navigation bar thanks to the tutorial here - http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5153115.html

Googled Xampp for Mac and came up with something called apachefriends.org. Saw a security warning in the documentation. Wondered if I could trust the site and the software.

anybody already using this on a Mac OSx?

This is a brief, six question quiz to see how much of a Harry Potter nerd you are. If you get the easy ones wrong, the response you receive on the answer page will insult you accordingly. Ch.14 in the HTML & CSS book was incredibly helpful, as was Ch.1 Head First PHP & MySQL. I love the Head First books. I found this challenge to be easier than the dice, believe it or not.

Here is a link to the XAMPP program that Professor Halavais recommended in video 3-1, if you want to "test things on your machine as if it were on the server" (Halavais mentions this around the 19:50 mark). The program is free and is compatible with Windows, Mac, and others.

A cool website that shows what can be artistically done with CSS

I assumed this was 1-a, and added that tag :).

For those who have not picked an FTP client yet, this seems like a solid option. It's free, so that's a start! I had troubles with FileZilla because it said I needed Mac OS X 10.5 or newer and I'm on 10.4.

FireFTP is an add-on for Firefox. It's the FPT client I'm going to use for this class. This bookmark has an FAQ for installing and using the client, which like I said before, I really need because I've never done this before.

Fixed the webprog-1-a tag.

Derek Jeter is a great baseball player, but is he Hall of Fame caliber? Check out his statistics against a couple of other Hall of Hame shortstops and decide for yourself.

Good--and appropriate!--use of the <table> tag. Note, however, that <font> is deprecated, and should be avoided.

Five basic rules to follow when converting from traditional HTML to XHTML 1.0. Librarians are good at explaining stuff.

When I view my recipe page on the desktop the image and links work fine. But when I publish it to the internet, the link for the image works but the image does not show up. I followed the steps meticulously and cannot figure out what has happened. Can you let me know what I missed?

Hopefully I already answered this, but in case not: *Everything* for the site has to get uploaded to the server. So, if you are including an image, the image also has to go up to the server. Next week, when we do style sheets, the style sheet has to go up to the server. Since it's a whole 'nother computer, you need to make sure all the pieces that make up your page/site make it up.

This simple 3 page Guitar Primer attempts to satisfy webprog-1-g, and give guitar curious wannabes the guidance they need to get started right!

Cool--getting my 2 month old started on air guitar with impossibly loud stereo to start. Glad he's setting off on the right foot. (Well, that metaphor is a little off, for now.)

RateMyStudents.com (hosted at http://kellyuttgrubb.nfshost.com/RateMyStudents.html) allows professors to publicly rate students. Compare notes with other professors before you select a graduate student, award a fellowship, or provide a recommendation.

this is my version of the card game page, but where the card facing down is a random card, not the established heart card. i spent a few min. hitting the same card to see if they would eventually match, but then i got bored. I think this code should work, should is key. Prof, i will email it to you as per the webprog instructions to see if theoretically it would work.

Deja vu. Thought I commented on this, but maybe not. It sends the following as the realcard: cards[0]. Hard to match that with a 1 through 5.

This is a clear and simple introduction for newbies like me. I'm willing to learn from any source possible. So the more intros I get, the better.

I came across this site dealing with HTML through Google. Browsing through, I found it to be great, even for myself, a stone cold beginner to this stuff. It's pretty much a complete tutorial regarding HTML starting from the most basic parts all the way to the advanced material and know-how. In the page itself you will see [Previous] and [Next] buttons which walk you to the next level of the tutorial, down the left side of the page is each part of the tutorial. Hope this helps!

Monica mentioned a web browser called Opera Dragonfly. Here is a site with more information. It is supposed to be good at debugging Javascript and editing CSS.

When choosing text and background colors, it's useful to have a hex code chart to make sure you're choosing the color you really want. I like Webmonkey's chart because the color boxes are a little bigger than most other charts. Plus, they also provide the HTML coding to change the background color in case you forget. -- The Web Developer's Resource

Good call on WebMonkey. That was one of the first sites I ever used when I was learning HTML in undergrad. I loved it! Plus, how can you not love it with a name like that!

:) I thought I was the only one who would be amused by the name alone! I didn't realize this site was years old. Thanks for vouching for it
