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.
For those who have not picked an FTP client yet, this seems like a solid option. It's free, so that's a start! I had troubles with FileZilla because it said I needed Mac OS X 10.5 or newer and I'm on 10.4.
FireFTP is an add-on for Firefox. It's the FPT client I'm going to use for this class. This bookmark has an FAQ for installing and using the client, which like I said before, I really need because I've never done this before.
I found this really great site that details browser compatibility with CSS tags. It doesn't depict all css tags (prob. because they all don't have bugs), but details the bugs and compatibility that are known. What is nice is that it lays them out in a tabular format and includes many browsers (including the iPhone).
I figured I would use this 3-page site to tell a little more about myself (and, hopefully, make you laugh a little bit). It is very simple, but it should give you a little more insight into what you're dealing with.
Hahaha. Thanks, man. We made 3 that day (the third went to my nephew for XMas), and they give them to you in clear plastic bags. So The best part of the whole experience was the reaction from people I passed on the streets of Manhattan!
What coding did you use to place the 3 hyperlinks next to each other, across the top? I'm going to do my 3-page site now, but will most likely leave them vertically.
Here is a 4 page site I made for upcoming Connecticut concerts for the month of February. I included a splash page that includes links to Toad's Place, Mohegan Sun, and The Webster. On each of the 3 venue pages, I included links to the venues' official website as well. Then, I included text about upcoming concerts. I purposely didn't link back to the splash page, thinking that once the user is into the venue sites, it wasn't necessary to return there.
A group of ten nice PHP instructional articles. The first is a friendly Introduction to PHP tutorial. The entire site (AllSyntax.com) looks like a good resource for ICM 505.
This is just an example of one of the many pages on the w3schools.com page. I used this site in my 512 class last semester all the time and it is extremly helpful in helping to get all the little aspects of coding. Plus it gives the example code that you can copy and then mess around with to get the hang of it.
