Although we are not there yet, I found this site by Google to be very interesting. The fact that Google lets you play with their code and run scenarios is amazing. The code playground seems similar to what we see in firebug - you edit the code and see an output. It allows for Google to operate on a whole new level and interaction. Allowing people to freely test your code and learn from it, mow that's cool.
Here's a very concise paragraph to give a quick introduction to the world of Nancy. it doesn't say too much about me, but I'm sure more will be revealed in time.
W3Schools is an amazing resource. I used it in my last ICM class (512) for tutorials in XHTML and CSS. This particular page provides the hexadecimal codes for many colors that we can use in web pages as we go through our class challenges. Hope it helps! (I use it all the time!)
Do I have to have a fancy HTML editor? No; matter of fact, you can instantly create your own HTML page just by using your favorite text editor (such as "Notepad" in Windows).
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.
This is my peach daquiri recipe. The picture is a mango daquiri, which is also good. This is because Flickr did not provide a creative commons picture that I found appealing.
Here is a very basic multi-page site dedicated to Walt Disney World. Each of the four theme parks has its own webpage, linked together through navigation at the bottom of the page.
I'd forgotten how hand coding (vs Dreamweaver) can be a time consuming feat! But I survived and it's helping to re-learn basic html codes!
Here is my recipe for a dirty martini with a kick. My friend suggested it to me a few weeks ago and I have yet to try it, but he claims its good. If anyone ends up trying it please let me know!
Though the assignment was to publish a three-page site, I got a little carried away and added more. This is just a fun site dedicated to (some) U.S. Presidents' favorite foods. From the home page, you can link to Obama, Clinton, Bush 41, Reagan, and Kennedy -- and back home again. Bon Appetit!
Here is a simple three-page site about the Pilates method of physical conditioning. The site features a what is pilates page, history of pilates page and basic equipment page with photos and descriptions. Visitors are able to navigate to each of the three pages from one another. An issue I ran into was knowing how to gage the size of the images and how that affected the text size of the headings.
With some consternation, I'm going to go ahead and use the Blackboard gradebook. Bah.
Q: Will there be an opportunity to earn extra credit in the event that the student has an A- but was not considered creative enough in assignments to earn an A?
