After way too long of attempting to figure out how to make this page, the light bulb finally lit up (dim, but it turned on). Instead of just numbers rotating randomly, I incorporated images of dice. I also implemented CSS stylesheet for the background and text. Also, instead of a using the brower refresh button, I added my own :-)

I think I'm finally starting to understand php. It's not the easiest language, thats for sure! (or is it!?) With that said, here is my Fibonacci Sequence up to 500. I looked a variety of different codes online, but didn't use just one. After looking at a whole bunch I realized there are quite a few ways to write this code. Which in my mind, only compicated matters more...

Yes! It's true of most programming tasks: there are many ways to accomplish the same thing. In some ways it does complicate things, but it's also (though it may not feel like it now) makes it fun! It's especially good when you find a "good hack"--a shortcut that makes your code better, faster, shorter, and more simple. Congrats on this one, it's a hard program to puzzle out.

Since counters are critical to the usability of MySQL, I thought this copy-and-past version of a counter code would be handy for people.

This bookmark is a combination of 2-d and 2-f: it is my restyled recipe and horizontal menu for the CSS portion of the course. At first, I was a little hesitant / confused about learning the CSS formatting. Once I got used to the concept of the css formatting I found myself wiring code with ease. There was many back and forth between typing and viewing in the browser, but I got the hang of it. The one issue I had was with browser compatibility - the margin: auto; code did not render well in IE7, but had not bugs in firefox. The most difficult potion of the menu was hiding the attributes that the browser assumes should be included with a bulleted list and links hence why a css style sheet comes in handy.

Very nice. Should make it a habit to title your pages. But well done.

I retooled my green smoothie recipe with a cascading style sheet for all elements. I have multiple divs, an image that "floats" to the right, and a fixed background image.

Well done. Need to keep a keen eye on legibility with background images. But like the direction you moved in.

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?

I restyled my recipe for blueberry muffins, giving it a border, colorful headlines and some interest in the type style. I can't believe how difficult this all is!!

Looks nice - and reminds me of Willy Wonka!

My attempt at creating a header for my previously created site about Pilates.

This is my 3 page, well 4 page website for module 2. They are all linked to the same CSS sheet. It's about great rivalries in Boston Sports and has a lot of other fun links too. Enjoy!

Hello Dr. Halavais, What is the login name/password to view this bookmark? I keep getting a window asking for both. Thanks, Eva

Hi, Eva: I'm really sorry, I just posted this to the wrong group. Nothing to see here :). (It's for my other class.)

Recipe with comment form - much love to the Head First PHP & MySQL book, whose fabulous chapters 2-4 were very helpful, and kept many tears away. And love to Erica, for letting me know that creating the additional user was a MANDATORY step. <3

Astrological Pickup Maximizer. Calculate her sign like the best of the lounge lizards. Works great in Firefox, nonfunctional in IE. Still thinking about it - something in the CSS. Bill, dude - your browser is killing me! :) Thanks to Professor Halavais for helping with the endgame.

Why do I feel slightly dirtier now?

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 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!

I created a working, horizontal menu bar on the main page HTML file for the web site I created earlier in the semester. The menu bar allows people to click on individual presidents' names to find out their favorite foods.

I asked 2 questions related to Javascript.

At the 17:23 mark in the first video of the JavaScript module, I asked if Professor Halavais could clarify some text on the screen. However, the text may have been blurred out deliberately since the surrounding text is fuzzy but not as bad. Just don't want to miss any important steps!

Its interesting that javascript is fading off the design of html pages, yet it is becoming a key tool for flash programming...maybe javascript was just misplaced in the early development of the web.

This page has the php that shows the comments that are in the mySQL db table. They are displayed for all the world to see.

A quick and easy way to resize your images for the web.

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.
