We used W3Schools in ICM512 to learn XHTML. For CSS, they offer how/why use CSS, do-it-yourself tutorials, and mini quizzes. Should be very helpful in this module.

I cannot stress enough how much this site helped me in my course last semester with css and coding. The best part I found is that the example coding can be used and altered to fit whatever you are doing. That way, you see what it should look like and then add your own stuff to make the code your own with how you want the final product to look.

That's probably the best way to learn HTML and CSS. And you can actually collect good examples from around the web, since HTML and CSS are always viewable.

This column offers a helpful "cheat" for programmers seeking to have a vertical background color extend all the way down the page. A quirk in CSS sometimes results in making it difficult for columns to extend the full length. The solution is to create a vertically tiled background image that "forces" vertical columns to extend all the way.

This site is from w3schools. It is detailed instructions and examples of how to change your fonts in CSS. Its important because it carefully explains how to change fonts in different parts of your body.

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.

Introduction to using the "console" in firebug to help debug Javascript.

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.

Here is a yummy recipe for some chicken wings cooked in a crock pot and finished in an oven. Try them out, you'll love them!

This links to the menu bar template I used in my Chicken Kiev restyle with CSS. I like it because it has a clean modern look that doesn't look "button heavy". There is a fair amount of code, but most of it is straightforward. I made comments in my CSS sheet to help me remember what was going on. For webprog-2-a.

This, like the w3 schools, is helpful because of the simple nature in which it describes the layout of css. By showing what the code looks like and describing what should go where, it helps the person learning what the final (if basic) outcome should resemble.This, like the w3 schools, is helpful because of the simple nature in which it describes the layout of css.

I've added the webprog-2-a tag...

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.

I did this assignment to become more familiar with writing in html. Also, to work on and its atributes, which I was having a difficult time with. This is a page from Quinnipiac's website, I took the information from it, and found a picture on Flickr. I also added a green background, which I found in the text.

I did this exercise to become more familiar with writing in html and to understand how to use and all of its atributes (which I was having a hard time with). I took a page from QU and duplicated it. Rather than using their pictures, I found one on Flickr instead. I put it in the validator and it passed, after fixing 9 XHTML problems.

For the final project I completed the QU Campus map. The site utilizes PHP and CSS to pull in content and layout the site. The menus utilize CSS and PHP is used to pull in the images and code the label (or legend) section below the images. Google Maps API also integrates allowing users to view and zoom the campus. The site is best viewed using internet explorer, there are formatting issues for the CSS of the menus for those using Mozilla. Also did anyone notice that the official QU map is missing #34? They may want to consider addressing this... Anyhow have a great summer!

tiny wiki. type in what you want in the textarea, and see it displayed at the top of the screen when you return.

This is Google's page that explains their Google Maps API. "The Google Maps API lets you embed Google Maps in your own web pages with JavaScript. The API provides a number of utilities for manipulating maps (just like on the http://maps.google.com web page) and adding content to the map through a variety of services, allowing you to create robust maps applications on your website." This is mentioned in Mod 6 and you can learn more about it by going to this site.

This website has a ton of tutorials and codes. It also has explainations and is a great way to search for ideas and get a sense of what kind of code you will be producing. I would recommend this site to anyone in this class, I wish I would have found it earlier in the semester.
