This is a MySQL tutorial that you can download to help you understand MySQL databases and php.

The following is a site complete with all sorts of tutorials for PHP and MySQL. It is separated by topics such as Setup, Admin, Syntax, Database, Connect, etc, and allows you to jump in where ever you feel the need to. I'm a newbie, so this site has been great to read through.

This site tells how to add links to your Website using HTML coding. Links are a key to the interactivity of the Internet, so I thought it would be good to know.

About.com is always a good place to start because it provides a general overview with links to other resources. The MySQL article on About.com explains the basics you need to learn SQL code to use with your MySQL database.

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!

I was browsing through the web and found that there is a "Viewable With Any Browser" campaign. Has anyone heard of such a campaign? It really stresses the importance of designing text and images that do not require the "this page is best viewed with Browser X" message.

I read through this site and the tutorials. It was a little on the wordy side, but for me, it's almost a bit easier to understand. For those of you who are still teetering on CSS, this might help, it's working for me. (I'm not getting paid to say that either :-P)

I stumbled across this article on the always useful "A List Apart" and bookmarked it because I'm attempting to create a global horizontal drop down menu. I want to top off all the blogs at blogs.courant.com with a horizontal CSS menu so each have useful, obvious links back to content on www.courant.com. I'll let you know if I succeed.

The key to this tutorial is that it is created for "the total non-programmer." This site is a step by step break down of javascript and answers many questions you may have.

I found this site by searching "HTML for Dummies" I had read the book version some time ago when I was starting out with HTML and got distracted by something and lost the book. It gives you some great tips on how to do what you want to do!

This column offers a helpful "cheat" for programmers seeking to have a vertical background color extend all the way down the page. A quirk in CSS sometimes results in making it difficult for columns to extend the full length. The solution is to create a vertically tiled background image that "forces" vertical columns to extend all the way.

This may be my new favorite coding assistant. I found it on the Web Developer's Handbook, as linked to from CSS Zen Garden's CSS Resource Guide. Seriously, this rocks.

This website is also from w3schools. And this involves changing colors of text, background etc. It shows examples like the book does and is very easy to follow.

This site also helped me out last semester. The biggest problem I had just simply understanding the concepts behind HTML. Once I got the patterns down, it was just a matter of learning the tags, etc.

This is a simple document that explains how to add an API. It breaks down the different types and the pros and cons of each. As I searched for API info this one seemed the easiest to digest.

HTML Help was created by the Web Design Group, which was founded to "promote the creation of non-browser specific, non-resolution specific, creative and informative sites that are accessible to all users worldwide." If you check the site out, there is an HTML Validator, CSS Checker, Help Forums, and more! Style Guides, Image info, you name it!

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.

One of our challenges is to create a horizontal menu bar, which we did not go over. I am in the process of creating mine now and found this helpful. You might too! Hope it helps!

I'm finding this page to be very useful. It has many different "cheats" for not only CSS but other web development programs.

This is extremely helpful...thanks!

Download a .pdf of a CSS Cheat Sheet that looks very much like the one Alex is seen using in his Module 2 CSS lectures. Could it be? :) There are other Cheat Sheets on the site as well.

Webmonkey, which I found while doing in ICM 501, is a great resource. I like the fact that it is at the "Primate" level of skill and yet has a 4-out of-5 banana rating. For those who aren't into coding and have a hard time remembering what kind of tags go before what you want to do, it's great to have open in a different window to reference.
