Web Programming

This bookmark is a combination of 2-d and 2-f: it is my restyled recipe and horizontal menu for the CSS portion of the course. At first, I was a little hesitant / confused about learning the CSS formatting. Once I got used to the concept of the css formatting I found myself wiring code with ease. There was many back and forth between typing and viewing in the browser, but I got the hang of it. The one issue I had was with browser compatibility - the margin: auto; code did not render well in IE7, but had not bugs in firefox. The most difficult potion of the menu was hiding the attributes that the browser assumes should be included with a bulleted list and links hence why a css style sheet comes in handy.

Very nice. Should make it a habit to title your pages. But well done.

It may be a great recipe, but no one is going to try it if the page doesn't look great.

Nicely done!

It posts a comment, thats about all I can say. MySQL and I are not friends at this point, I'll leave it at that.

I feel the same way, LOL!

I've been reading MySQL's MySpace page, and she still thinks you're cool.

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.

Here is a javascript validator. It won't submit unless the fields are filled in. Also, the email must be filled in correctly.

Good enough. It did let me by with a phone number of "3" though :).

Here is my javascript form which validates email addresses as well as phone number, name, zip code and phone number.

Hmmm. Managed to slide by some strange email addresses, but good enough for government work :).

Another great tutorial given by w3schools.com. This tutorial walks you through from the most basic steps, but it also explains very in depth material as well.

This is a simple tutorial for those like me who are unfamiliar with PHP. Here, you will learn the basics of PHP and what it can do.

Here is something that may help with the PHP building of the site. This lays out some of the neccessary tools to be successful when using PHP in coding.

Download XAMPP to turn your computer into an Apache server. As mentioned in Lecture 3-1.

Fibonacci Sequence with every 5th position in the sequence in bold red font.

This program will tell you which sign of the zodiac you were born under. If you enter a typo or a wrong number, you will be told to try again. Check out the elseif clause!!

i know it's a little late... i've been out of pocket for the last couple days. i made a fake profile. didn't quite know what was meant by 'profile,' per say, so i made an 'about me' kind of thing for a random historic figure. the first one who came to mind was Amerigo Vespucci. dont know why! i connected the pages with the horizontal nav bar as well.

Further explanation regarding why we dive into CSS without thoroughly understanding it first.

At 23:09 I link to a page that lists the various CSS color values and displays their various hues. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colorsfull.asp

Another great beginner's intro to the world of CSS mainly because it provides just as many examples as it does explanations. In addition, it encourages you to try out the code as you go along rather than simply expect to learn by osmosis (which is pretty much impossible with this subject anyway).

Similar to something I bookmarked in module one, this page does a great job explaining CSS in its most basic terms. It is short on words, but long on meaning, which is what I tend to seek out when learning something new. The following line (which is very similar to something Alex said in the lecture) really helped me put CSS into perspective: "The coolest thing about CSS is that you can link to an external style sheet, and this sheet can change the style (font size, color, link color, link hover etc.) on your whole Web site just by editing the one style sheet."

Has anyone successfully completed webprog-4-d? This video is my question about that assignment. Hopefully you know the answer!
