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.
This is a good introduction that explains alot about the value of Javascript. It explains how it simplifies tasks that used to be server-intensive by placing some of the load on the user's local machine. It is more efficient, can be re-used and sends the server a simplified information set that is easily processed.
This is a graduation countdown until when I (and anyone else who plans on graduating next spring actually) app for facebook! It was a little confusing at first with the facebook api, but I once I got used to it it was just a matter getting the php to work. Facebook doesn't support javascript fully so I had to find a countdown in php....it doesn't look quite as cool as the javascript one, but it still works. FYI, it's a little plain...but it works!
I've begun to create the professor ratings page that I plan to complete for the final module. Here, I use javascript to display the form or hide the form depending on user input. If someone has javascript deactivated, those buttons do not appear (so as not to confuse them when they wouldn't work anyway). Hope you like it! I plan to build on this for the next module.
I also suggest checking out this site for some help with javascript and validation! unlike some other sites, the color properties of the different code help to make things visually clearer, and thus, easier to understand when trying to work out how the code is set up.
I was bel to find this really helpful site that provides detailed help on different web programming languages, code snipits, and tutorials. Of all the sites out there, I think this one has been the most helpful - easy to use and easy to understand.
I wish I had found this sooner!
Languages: ASP, PHP, Javascript, HTML, SQL
I noted that Professor Halavais talked about deprecated codes for Javascript that will have to be edited whenever you find older code you want to grab. So here is a handy list of what NOT to wear when you try on old code!
this page submits info into my database where i can read it, and then choose to respond.
i added the javascript to this pages that requires an entry in the name, email and comment fields as well as a valid email address... comments in the .js file show where i got my code and help from.
it validates
