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.

On the 3-2 video, I posted a question about using if/else VS. switch around the 23:45 mark. This is for challenge 3-b. Thanks.

A comment I placed on the Lecture 3-2 video...

Tagged a few comments in here on the time lecture. seems like the easiest of all the php stuff.

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 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.

Generally, I tend to bookmark sites for reference and code help. This time I decided to bookmark more as an FYI. This blog gives readers an idea of how PHP is used on some of the web's most popular sites. Some of the statistics regarding lines of code for flickr are incredible.

I hid the form to fill out a comment on my recipe page. If you click on "comments" the form will appear.

This is a brief, six question quiz to see how much of a Harry Potter nerd you are. If you get the easy ones wrong, the response you receive on the answer page will insult you accordingly. Ch.14 in the HTML & CSS book was incredibly helpful, as was Ch.1 Head First PHP & MySQL. I love the Head First books. I found this challenge to be easier than the dice, believe it or not.

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.

I read through this site and the tutorials. It was a little on the wordy side, but for me, it's almost a bit easier to understand. For those of you who are still teetering on CSS, this might help, it's working for me. (I'm not getting paid to say that either :-P)

I stumbled across this article on the always useful "A List Apart" and bookmarked it because I'm attempting to create a global horizontal drop down menu. I want to top off all the blogs at blogs.courant.com with a horizontal CSS menu so each have useful, obvious links back to content on www.courant.com. I'll let you know if I succeed.

Great site for free downloadable cheat sheets for HTML, CSS, MySQL, and seemingly everything else pertaining to web programming. Formatted in pdf to fit on one page to print for easy reference.

Download a .pdf of a CSS Cheat Sheet that looks very much like the one Alex is seen using in his Module 2 CSS lectures. Could it be? :) There are other Cheat Sheets on the site as well.

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.

Pat: be sure to include the tag from the assignment. In this case, it's webprog-1-a, and I added it for you.

It looks as though 2 other people submitted sites on color charts, so variety's purposes, here's a site that provides information on various web browsers. It's a bit of a learning experience -- did anyone else know there is a web browser called Firebug or Opera Dragonfly??

Hello everyone! This is a recipe I found on www.allrecipes.com. I love flan but I haven't personally used this recipe. In creating this page I found some tags on www.w3schools.com that were useful. I'll try to spice this page up more but for now here it is.

Also for my 512 class, I needed an FTP. Quinnipiac offers Fetch for free to students and this page is a guide on how to get the program for your computer. This page is for Mac users, but you can see on the left hand navigation bar that there is a link for PC users too.

Hello! I decided to do my 3 (well 4) page assignment on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I included a brief history as well as some of my favorite spots to visit. I was able to include a nav bar on the home page and used the colors found in the coat of arms. I'd like to try a tabbed nav bar however.

At first, I was messing this up, but I think I caught on by the end. I think its is very much like Diigo, but for videos. Very easy to use once I realized that what I was doing was incorrect and not what the site was giving me back as wrong.At first, I was messing this up, but I think I caught on by the end.

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 took my recipe html file and tried cleaning it up. After numerous attempts to fix my code myself, I clicked the "Clean up Markup with HTML Tidy" button. HTML Tidy basically truncated my table-specific CSS and aggregated it at the top. I suppose I'll learn how to do this myself when I begin on Module 2. Instead of changing the original file, I saved a new one to show to the code difference at http://marie.nfshost.com/recipe2.html

HTML Tidy is a lifesaver--as long as you look at the changes and can figure out why they have happened. (It also makes it prettier, if you use the "indents" feature.)
