This is my rendering of the fibonacci sequence. I must admit that i had done this previously using javascript (when I was an undergrad, 4+yrs ago) and I would not let myself 'cheat' by researching other web sites. After sketching out the functionality and few tries I was able to get it, but I did have some difficulty with the formatting, for whatever reason, I could not get the '\n' to work, instead, i decided to echo a
tag.

Hmmm... close enough. 0 1 1 2 3 5 etc.

I can't believe it. I actually figured this out!! After staring at it for about 2 weeks, I finally saw what I did wrong! Wow, do I feel some major relief! Enjoy the dropdown, folks. I know I will, now that I made it work.

Lecture 3-3, at 26:52: I just got "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$'" on that line. Is that the error you are talking about, or did I do something wrong in addition? This could be something as basic as opening/closing brackets or a semicolon for all I know. Or, perhaps we really need a variable there. Hey! What about the two equal signs after the pointer? Is this the old "freak out the noobs with the double equal sign" trick?

Visualized the Dice! It took me a while but I finally got it! Instead of the random numbers popping up I replaced them with some die images that I found. I had to perform a list of "if" statements to make that happen. I also thought it would be cool to make this in to an advertising site, and give each user 3 rolls to roll a pair, if so, they win a small prize of sort, depending on the advertisement, possibly for a casino? We'll see..

I think I finally got it! I think that figuring out the mathematical equation behind this was the hardest part. Math is def not one of my strong points. I was able to figure out the php coding for the most part, but couldn't figure out how to add the sum of the previous two numbers (I kept adding one instead). Once I was walked through the equation, it made a lot more sense. Hopefully this is correct.

Here is the page I made to calculate your Zodiac Sign. I cannot believe how much difficulty I had figuring this out! I finally did so with help from the videos, a few online resources (although I definitely had to tweak them a bit), and a couple of my fellow ICMers :) Enjoy!

Tweaking online scripts is perfectly OK. Just remember to give credit!

Ooopssss..sorry I didn't included these. Here are the sources that I found online. http://www.spiration.co.uk/post/1290/calculate%20zodiac%20/%20star%20sign%20in%20PHP%20for%20mysql%20date and http://www.2wap.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4866&pid=32711&mode=threaded&start=

i am re-bookmarking this site and re-tagging it with the mod 2 tag, because i have adjusted things a bit in my FTP... organized things a bit. So the old site bookmarked with the url http://thisandthat.nfshost.com/picturehome.html WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE. to reach that page, you need to hit this url: http://thisandthat.nfshost.com/moduletwo/picturehome.html which is the page bookmarked here. i did this because i am adjusting somethings on this page for mod 4 and when im done, i will retag with mod 4 challenges, but im not ready, at this point in time 3/10/09 to do that yet.

Here is a 4 page site I made for upcoming Connecticut concerts for the month of February. I included a splash page that includes links to Toad's Place, Mohegan Sun, and The Webster. On each of the 3 venue pages, I included links to the venues' official website as well. Then, I included text about upcoming concerts. I purposely didn't link back to the splash page, thinking that once the user is into the venue sites, it wasn't necessary to return there.

I figured I would use this 3-page site to tell a little more about myself (and, hopefully, make you laugh a little bit). It is very simple, but it should give you a little more insight into what you're dealing with.

Hahaha. Thanks, man. We made 3 that day (the third went to my nephew for XMas), and they give them to you in clear plastic bags. So The best part of the whole experience was the reaction from people I passed on the streets of Manhattan!

What coding did you use to place the 3 hyperlinks next to each other, across the top? I'm going to do my 3-page site now, but will most likely leave them vertically.

Question asked on movie timeline around 17 minute mark...

This method of drawing out the program steps is one of the best solutions for creating a program. My flow charts are usually not this complicated, but I have found them to be very helpful in creating the solution. It helps determine the switched ans loops required to complete the task - I typically will detail what type of loop i need between steps (where the arrows go). Doing one of these charts actually helped me solve the Fibonacci challenge

At 02:45 I point out something that perhaps doesn't fall under the category of worthwhile to our lesson, but whatever -- Rosie the Robot (of 'Jetsons' fame) would never need instructions on how to make a PB&J sandwich. She would make it with love, too. Also, she could not make 50,000 because she'd get tired.

I can't belive I FINALLY got this!!! I probably wrote a lot of unnecessary code in this one, but every time I tried to combine strings I would get an error message. Check to find out what your zodiac sign is.

I found this website by googling php for dummies. I was having a difficult time after reading and watching the tutorials so I immediately began looking for the basics and some explainations. This site made it easy to get the basics and a lot of alternative ways to find tutorials. I recommend it for anyone as confused as I was at the getgo.

I am documenting this to keep it academically honest. I admit that the devilish character depicted on this website is disturbing.

I have reached my level of incompetence as far as programming is concerned. I have to use other smarts now. Since prof has already made reference to laziness being a virtue and other folks who have kindly done this stuff before, I am now searching for sample PHP Wiki code that I can adapt for this Challenge.

Getting columnated is a little tricky for beginners like myself. In lecture 2-3: Columnated, I added a comment with a link to a site that lays out the fundamentals of the language used. I think this would be especially helpful to someone who aspires to be a web producer because a producer needs to speak in html and css language. The link is http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/definitions.htm

There is a comment and link on the third video, second module for challenge 2-b. It may be found at 1:24. Thanks.

Made a few comments regarding photoshop and other aspects to the 2-column layout. Long lecture, but helpful in understanding the layout neccessities.

Finally! The mistake I was making was silly, and I was so annoyed at myself when I realized what it was. Here in all of its purple glory (it's my favorite color, so prepare to see lots of it this semester), I present to you my Fibonacci sequence.

cruft? or uncruft?

I've been exploring Google Book Search (I met with some members of the team recently) and I find many other people aren't aware of it. I was hoping to be able to find and browse an O'Reilly book here, but I see they don't fully participate in the program. There are, however, many books offering a Limited Preview, so hopefully others will find this bookmark of value.

On the 3-2 video, I posted a question about using if/else VS. switch around the 23:45 mark. This is for challenge 3-b. Thanks.

A comment I placed on the Lecture 3-2 video...

Tagged a few comments in here on the time lecture. seems like the easiest of all the php stuff.

Ok I know what you are thinking...why is he bookmarking a flash reference site - flash in a web programming class? Well I decided it was important to bookmark the ActionScript reference page because the structure of ActionScript 3 is similar to javascript used in many webpages. No, you don't need javascript to create a webpage, but adding it can allow for additional site functionality. It is also important to know the potential of integrating flash into a website and allowing for variables to be passed form the webpage and communicated to the flash movie.
