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.

This proved to me I know next to nothing about XHTML, with that said, I know I have a lot to learn and am quickly learning from my mistakes.

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...

LearnStreet is an online education platform for coding languages such as Ruby, Python, and JavaScript (as of January 2013). The program is designed to help users learn fundamental coding skills and apply them to a number of real-world projects.

online education platform that democratizes coding via a completely new mindset and approach ­ for teaching people how to code.

About.com is always a good place to start because it provides a general overview with links to other resources. The MySQL article on About.com explains the basics you need to learn SQL code to use with your MySQL database.

This site also helped me out last semester. The biggest problem I had just simply understanding the concepts behind HTML. Once I got the patterns down, it was just a matter of learning the tags, etc.

In this example, you are going to learn how to create simple animation of an object using JavaScript. The object we're referring to here is any image.

In this article, you can learn how to file upload in ASP.NET MVC using Dropzone.js and HTML5.

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.

Here is my recipe upgraded with some CSS. The only trouble I had was getting images that I created to link to my stylesheet. So instead I just found some images via Google Images and used them as background images. I know it's not the best case, but as I'm learning, I thought it'd be alright just so I can see what happens when...

This site is supposed to display some of my photography work. It is simply supposed to introduce people to the style of pictures I take from landscapes to people. The menu bar on this site I learned last semester in 512. It is supposed to navigate the user throughout the site.

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.

EchoEcho's Javascript tutorial provides a good start on how to learn javascript. I like how they have specific sections the most common uses of javascript(Browser detection, form validation, animated buttons, cookies, drop down menu, multiple link, frameset script, and popup windows).

Similar to something I bookmarked in module one, this page does a great job explaining CSS in its most basic terms. It is short on words, but long on meaning, which is what I tend to seek out when learning something new. The following line (which is very similar to something Alex said in the lecture) really helped me put CSS into perspective: "The coolest thing about CSS is that you can link to an external style sheet, and this sheet can change the style (font size, color, link color, link hover etc.) on your whole Web site just by editing the one style sheet."

Adds a toolbar to Firefox with tools and drop-down menus that provide a means to create and view various parts of CSS and Html files. Seems to be useful as a learning tool as well as a development tool.

Used this before Firebug came along. A fine tool.

Ok, so I'm sure none of are kids...age wise (not talking mentally here). I know I learn best when something is dumbed down and in every day speak. So we'll consider this to be junior geek talk. Works for me! And hopefully for you too!

To paraphrase Denzel Washington's character in "Philadelphia" (Heck, this may even be a direct quote considering I've seen this film so many times... ): "I want you to explain it to me like I'm a two-year-old." This site does just that! When I am learning a new skill, I want material that is utterly foreign to me to be Kindergarten-ized as much as possible. I would not be the least offended if I saw the following (and hopefully with pictures!): "See Spot mark up the plain text document. Mark up the plain text document, Spot, mark up the plain text document!"

For challenge 1-f, I took a recipe and reformatted it using the tags I learned to use from the lectures.

This is a simple tutorial for those like me who are unfamiliar with PHP. Here, you will learn the basics of PHP and what it can do.

I found this site to be helpful when learning the HTML process. It gives a brief overview of adding color when creating a web page.
