This site also you to print off "cheat code" for a variety of programs including HTML and CSS. It may be useful for our class and easier to print off than make it yourself.

This is a great website that explains PHP in a very simple manner and includes pictures, tutorials and much much more. I found it VERY helpful when trying to gain a grasp of what exactly PHP is.

Can the video comment be in the form of a conversation with another person or do I have to be the only one in the video?

I am a Mac guy and I use this service for my work. they are Mac based so I do not have to think about anything too complicated :-)

This shows how to set up style sheets so you don't have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to design an element similar to what you did last time. This makes it easier for type, color and other elements to have a continuity and to feel more cohesive. It also saves valuable time if you know you are going to use a certain design style over and over.

W3Schools is an amazing resource. I used it in my last ICM class (512) for tutorials in XHTML and CSS. This particular page provides the hexadecimal codes for many colors that we can use in web pages as we go through our class challenges. Hope it helps! (I use it all the time!)

I had a lot of fun with revamping the look of my recipe page. I added a background image, jazzed up fonts & colors, had some fun with my bullets and even figured out how to add blinking text! One of the sites I got from CSS Zen Garden's CSS Resource Guide (listed as Web Developer's Handbook, which I will also bookmark) was a huge help. Enjoy!

Oh my! You have some fun stuff going on there! :)

This site provides 25 links to tutorials for php beginners, I will surely be taking advantage of tips found through this site!

My understanding is: do as many assignments as you want, or think you need to do. As for points, doing enough assignments correctly to total 100 points per module will get you an A-. An A- will be upgraded to an A if you show consistent creativity. Only those with an A- qualify for the "Creativity Upgrade". A grade of B won't do it. If I explained anything incorrectly, someone please correct me. My own take on it? Learn code because you really want to learn code, show effort, and try to have some fun with it. :)

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 page is just a basic intro/course description for an HTML class taught at UC Berkeley. It's really just a few sentences, but it's one of those short on words/long on meaning pieces of text that I admire because it gets to the meat of what HTML is all about in a very intelligent way. What struck me, though, was the line that states: "... it's valuable to know HTML even if your day job involves working with a content management system... " I work with a CMS all day! As I've mentioned before, I work for CNN.com and mainly produce interactive features and such, yet I know shockingly little about them there Internets! This course will hopefully help me bridge that gap between the material I am comfortable with, and that which intimidates me.

This is the section of lecture 2-2: Text Mess that I added a comment to. I hope you will check out the link I added if you are interested in how you can incorporate what you know about design aesthetics to what you are learning about CSS.

I added a comment on video 2-2 re: the div tag.

Question on video at around 23:30: While different browsers don't all support the same features, will they at least support basics like flow and positioning in like fashion? I recently had a heck of a time with a positioning difference between Firefox and IE, and I still wonder if it was my code, or the way IE dealt with it.

Also for my 512 class, I needed an FTP. Quinnipiac offers Fetch for free to students and this page is a guide on how to get the program for your computer. This page is for Mac users, but you can see on the left hand navigation bar that there is a link for PC users too.

so how do we get in here?

Clearly this page doesn't pertain to learning HTML per se, but it helps put in to perspective the whole notion of learning a new skill/language/subject. Knowing HTML may quite possibly be the one attribute that helps one candidate land a coveted job over another. Or, it may never come up in our careers -- but our minds will have been made "more interesting" nonetheless.

Just a quick question regarding the Fake Profile challenge. Should it be two or three pages minimum?
