Not sure if this will be useful in Module 1, but I've used this for adding Flash, ActionScript, and Photoshop content. Don't sleep on this site because they offer video tutorials that walk you through each step -- very helpful to "shadow" these instructors. -- A technical resource that provides easy-to-understand tutorials for Flash/ActionScript. C#, WPF, Expression Blend, PHP, Photoshop, and more!

WordPress is one of the most popular blogging platforms available today. And a fair amount of people really like it. It's powerful enough to be a complete Content Management System, it has every feature/function a blogger could ever dream of (either built in or available via plugins or custom func

In case my quiz went over *that* badly, here is a zodiac sign-teller for back-up points. Thank goodness for online resources and programming books. Well, enjoy!

Here is the page I made to calculate your Zodiac Sign. I cannot believe how much difficulty I had figuring this out! I finally did so with help from the videos, a few online resources (although I definitely had to tweak them a bit), and a couple of my fellow ICMers :) Enjoy!

Tweaking online scripts is perfectly OK. Just remember to give credit!

Ooopssss..sorry I didn't included these. Here are the sources that I found online. http://www.spiration.co.uk/post/1290/calculate%20zodiac%20/%20star%20sign%20in%20PHP%20for%20mysql%20date and http://www.2wap.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4866&pid=32711&mode=threaded&start=

the w3c html validator checks html input to make sure it follows HTML or XHTML standards. it will also help you look for syntax errors.

This is the homepage for the World Wide Web Consortium - it details all of the standards for HTML, CSS, etc etc. Its a great resource for web coding help. Site also contains tutorials for more information.

CSS resources and tutorials for web designers and web developers. When creating my horizontal nav bar for challenge 2-f, I found the "Listamatic" sections of this site to be useful.

As one of my classmates pointed out...sometimes it's easier to learn complicated things when they are "kindergatenized" Here I found a site which appempts to explain PHP at the very bare minimum. I found it to be long and wordy...but I am actually understanding it, slowly.

Module 3 for me is beginning to shape up to be similar to Godfather III. At first I hated both but now I realize their value. OK, in this here bookmarked link, author Vikram Vaswani turns PHP into something akin to a nice novella with excellent screenshots as examples. This tutorial is engaging, friendly and filled to the brim with info.

A really nice, basic resource that explains PHP in a clear and understandable way. It makes a very nice complement to the instructional videos for the class.

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 may be my new favorite coding assistant. I found it on the Web Developer's Handbook, as linked to from CSS Zen Garden's CSS Resource Guide. Seriously, this rocks.

When choosing text and background colors, it's useful to have a hex code chart to make sure you're choosing the color you really want. I like Webmonkey's chart because the color boxes are a little bigger than most other charts. Plus, they also provide the HTML coding to change the background color in case you forget. -- The Web Developer's Resource

Good call on WebMonkey. That was one of the first sites I ever used when I was learning HTML in undergrad. I loved it! Plus, how can you not love it with a name like that!

:) I thought I was the only one who would be amused by the name alone! I didn't realize this site was years old. Thanks for vouching for it

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.

This site has it all. I found it to be a very useful resource when trying to restyle my recipe. It has both, HTML and CSS information. Check it out when you can.

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 site provides 25 links to tutorials for php beginners, I will surely be taking advantage of tips found through this site!

Great resource for Web Programming newbies! & Apply your programming skills to build fun things like a Bubble Sort, Numeral Converter, Happy Numbers, Bank Teller, Blackjack Game, 99 Bottles Of Beer and much more.!!

This site is very helpful for review. While I was able to complete the PHP assignments some of the concepts were a little hazy. This site is helpful if you would like further explanation. The author provides example code and breaks down each step in a way that is easy to understand. For instance. Here was one of the basic examples:\n\nLoops like these come in handy whenever you're working with long lists of things (such as jokes stored in a database... hint-hint!), but for now we'll illustrate with a trivial example: counting to ten.\n\n$count = 1;\nwhile ($count );\n $count++;\n}\n\nKind of scary-looking, I know, but let me talk you through it line by line.

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.)

This is an article that gives you time saving CSS-techniques. It is a cookbook of web-architect shortcuts. The Links and References section also has a list of other valuable resources as well.

More tricks and techniques you can use to make your site better with CSS. This site links you to various others to provide you with tips and codes you can utilize.

I'm finding this page to be very useful. It has many different "cheats" for not only CSS but other web development programs.

This is extremely helpful...thanks!
