Comment for webprog-3-1.

This simple 3 page Guitar Primer attempts to satisfy webprog-1-g, and give guitar curious wannabes the guidance they need to get started right!

Cool--getting my 2 month old started on air guitar with impossibly loud stereo to start. Glad he's setting off on the right foot. (Well, that metaphor is a little off, for now.)

Googled Xampp for Mac and came up with something called apachefriends.org. Saw a security warning in the documentation. Wondered if I could trust the site and the software.

anybody already using this on a Mac OSx?

Here is my comment on the last video about forms in PHP. I found it very helpful.

Here's a video comment on this "most important segmet so far" - in which "pitch" and "catch" sail over my head. Guess that makes me the monkey in the middle.

Anyone with insight into Tiny WIki out there?

This is a link to a helpful tutorial page that defines some of the types in database. none of the examples in the lecture are text, but in the challenge the data is primarily text which lead me to believe that the type should be text. I received an error message when doing this. As I searched to find troubleshooting help I found that the varchar type also includes text.

Just a quick question regarding the Fake Profile challenge. Should it be two or three pages minimum?

Lecture 3-3, at 26:52: I just got "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$'" on that line. Is that the error you are talking about, or did I do something wrong in addition? This could be something as basic as opening/closing brackets or a semicolon for all I know. Or, perhaps we really need a variable there. Hey! What about the two equal signs after the pointer? Is this the old "freak out the noobs with the double equal sign" trick?

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.

Getting columnated is a little tricky for beginners like myself. In lecture 2-3: Columnated, I added a comment with a link to a site that lays out the fundamentals of the language used. I think this would be especially helpful to someone who aspires to be a web producer because a producer needs to speak in html and css language. The link is http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/definitions.htm

There is a comment and link on the third video, second module for challenge 2-b. It may be found at 1:24. Thanks.

Made a few comments regarding photoshop and other aspects to the 2-column layout. Long lecture, but helpful in understanding the layout neccessities.

Web Hosting Suggestion -- For module 4, I've added a comment to video #3 (11:40). For anyone on a very tight budget, this web hosting site is similar to NearlyFreeSpeech (PHP, MySQL support), but it's 100% free. It's been working great so far.

Question asked on movie timeline around 17 minute mark...

This method of drawing out the program steps is one of the best solutions for creating a program. My flow charts are usually not this complicated, but I have found them to be very helpful in creating the solution. It helps determine the switched ans loops required to complete the task - I typically will detail what type of loop i need between steps (where the arrows go). Doing one of these charts actually helped me solve the Fibonacci challenge

At 02:45 I point out something that perhaps doesn't fall under the category of worthwhile to our lesson, but whatever -- Rosie the Robot (of 'Jetsons' fame) would never need instructions on how to make a PB&J sandwich. She would make it with love, too. Also, she could not make 50,000 because she'd get tired.

The Fibonacci Sequence is a mathematical series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two numbers before it. The website I bookmarked was created using a combination of html and php.

I added a comment to the viddler timeline. This comment is useful in terms of validation. When you go to validate your pages and you have included "POST" the page does not validate. For validation purposes you must enter it as "post".

Here is a new 3-page site filled with some new info about me as well as some fun animations. I used a 2-column layout to keep my cartoon self and links list in place, have CSS working on my background images and added a new, snazzy, horizontal, unordered list menu. Hope you like it!

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.

This is my 3 page, well 4 page website for module 2. They are all linked to the same CSS sheet. It's about great rivalries in Boston Sports and has a lot of other fun links too. Enjoy!

Here is my take on explaining how to approach a challenge from Module 3 that was particularly challenging for me.
