My 3-page site. Coming up with the content for these challenges seems to be my biggest challenge. I guess that's why they say "Content is king!"
My first two pages feature photos, hyperlinks and text. The last page includes a embedded video that I uploaded to YouTube.
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.
Thought I would share with everyone a bit about myself. It was interesting creating a page without tags because I was limited to the layout running on and on without line breaks or margins on the page. I tend to design sites with organization and structure and this was totally out of the ordinary for me. Happy Reading.
For this class and all my web hosting experiences, I have only used Bluehost.com web hosting services. They make it so simple and easy to host your sites - multiple sites are really easy to host ( a folder file system). You can upload to the server using FTP or a secure web disk if using a mac. Sites are then hosted on 2 platforms - public or private. Thus allowing for secure areas for additional site functionality. What is also great about this service is that I have a file server wherever I go - no longer do I need to worry about carting a flash drive or disk with me everywhere, all I need is my computer. They are 100% reliable, was easy to transfer my domains to them and host all my pages. Definitely recommend it.
Ok I know what you are thinking...why is he bookmarking a flash reference site - flash in a web programming class? Well I decided it was important to bookmark the ActionScript reference page because the structure of ActionScript 3 is similar to javascript used in many webpages. No, you don't need javascript to create a webpage, but adding it can allow for additional site functionality. It is also important to know the potential of integrating flash into a website and allowing for variables to be passed form the webpage and communicated to the flash movie.
This is the section of lecture 2-2: Text Mess that I added a comment to. I hope you will check out the link I added if you are interested in how you can incorporate what you know about design aesthetics to what you are learning about CSS.
Question on video at around 23:30:
While different browsers don't all support the same features, will they at least support basics like flow and positioning in like fashion? I recently had a heck of a time with a positioning difference between Firefox and IE, and I still wonder if it was my code, or the way IE dealt with it.
This links to the menu bar template I used in my Chicken Kiev restyle with CSS. I like it because it has a clean modern look that doesn't look "button heavy". There is a fair amount of code, but most of it is straightforward. I made comments in my CSS sheet to help me remember what was going on. For webprog-2-a.
When attempting to download Jing I received the following error message:
16 bit MS-DOS subsystem; The NTVDM CPU has encountered illegal instruction.
Can anyone tell me what this means and how to get around it?
:/ beats me. All I can find on the web is "try the application again." It may just not like your system for some reason.
There are some other free screen recorders out there, but I haven't had a lot of experience with them, unfortunately.
Is there a way to view the text you are working with in Text Wrangler as if it was on the web? I know you can with Text Edit on the Mac? I guess I don't see the value of TextWrangler, yet...
I have a couple questions. They are highlighted within the sticky notes in the text regarding downloading problems also:
When downloading Notepad++ do I need both the binary and the source files?

This site is fantastic. I'm linking directly to the CSS reference page, but really the entire site is useful. It has HTML, Java, PHP, XML - everything! But in particular with this week's challenges, I found the CSS parts to be quite beneficial.
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.
A list of all the HTML codes, and then some. I looked over the list and had never seen quite a few (or at least never noticed them). I think its a good compliation of codes, as long as you know what you might be looking for, considering it *is* alphabatised.
I found this website to be extremely helpful when coding HTML. It lists the HTML tags available and then provides descriptions, and examples of each being used. While other books or websites reference the tags use and try to explain the result, the examples on this site put into action what the user will see when you use the tag. Definitely worth checking out if you ever get stuck
New and improved CSS version. Also found a menu bar template, fiddled with it a bit, and made comments as part of understanding how it works. Attempting to satisfy webprog-2-d and webprog-2-f.
Very nice! If you stick the code for the menu bar *inside* the "wrap" div, I have a feeling it will work out better. Right now, when you maximize on a big screen, the menu goes a bit wonky. (Don't need to fix for the purposes of this assignment, but just so you know.)
Thank you! I've been going a little nuts with a few things. :) The menu bar was easy to place in Firefox, but wouldn't position properly at all in IE. I managed to do some fudging, but don't like the result, as I later gave up margins:auto to pin things down. After all that, the two browser renditions still look a little different. Much to learn.
Here is my introduction. I had a negative visceral reaction to the lack of markup on this challenge, so I strayed from the directions and I added lots of and hyperlinks.
I'm always being asked to provide chart information for my business stories in the newspaper, but what if I could do it in CSS and make it pretty? That's what this programming tip provides, and it looks pretty cool, too.
