This site offers tutorials, demos, and explanations for using HTML. I found it particularly helpful when creating a site with frames. -- Free html tutorials and help, images, color codes and more for the web developer. Featuring tutorials on HTML tags, programming, basics, JavaScript, frames, hex codes and more. Our weekly newsletter provides the latest information for developers.

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.

Not sure if this will be useful in Module 1, but I've used this for adding Flash, ActionScript, and Photoshop content. Don't sleep on this site because they offer video tutorials that walk you through each step -- very helpful to "shadow" these instructors. -- A technical resource that provides easy-to-understand tutorials for Flash/ActionScript. C#, WPF, Expression Blend, PHP, Photoshop, and more!

I love the simplicity of 37Signals applications. It is based on Ruby On Rails and they have a terrific outlook on Web Application design and running a business.

CSS resources and tutorials for web designers and web developers. When creating my horizontal nav bar for challenge 2-f, I found the "Listamatic" sections of this site to be useful.

As one of my classmates pointed out...sometimes it's easier to learn complicated things when they are "kindergatenized" Here I found a site which appempts to explain PHP at the very bare minimum. I found it to be long and wordy...but I am actually understanding it, slowly.

Module 3 for me is beginning to shape up to be similar to Godfather III. At first I hated both but now I realize their value. OK, in this here bookmarked link, author Vikram Vaswani turns PHP into something akin to a nice novella with excellent screenshots as examples. This tutorial is engaging, friendly and filled to the brim with info.

A really nice, basic resource that explains PHP in a clear and understandable way. It makes a very nice complement to the instructional videos for the class.

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.

A review of the NearlyFreeSpeech server, and general explanation of the fee structure. All servers are NOT alike in how they handle fees and services, so this may be of interest to you.

Here is a site that may be useful to our class when trying to find ideas and sample css style sheets to help with building our own sites. There are examples of a variety of layouts including two and three columns.

Here is PHP and MySQL manual that Professor Halavais directed me to when I was having (and still having) trouble with Module 4's challenges.

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 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.

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

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!

I'm always being asked to provide chart information for my business stories in the newspaper, but what if I could do it in CSS and make it pretty? That's what this programming tip provides, and it looks pretty cool, too.

I think CSS charts are one of my favorite thing :). I am sure, someday, they will be superseded by built-in charting tags, but for now, I love 'em.

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.

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.

I am getting into web programming and eventually into this technology :-) I think SaaS is the way of the future and SproutCore makes the browser-based web application a better experience!
