Web Programming

very catchy, no?

I can't belive I FINALLY got this!!! I probably wrote a lot of unnecessary code in this one, but every time I tried to combine strings I would get an error message. Check to find out what your zodiac sign is.

Yay! Although the code doesn't look right when I view source? Is this ok?

Well, it's a good start, but you need to have it run the first 500 numbers, not up to 500 :). So, it's running about 480 short right now. As far as the code goes, just make use of a basic template, except for the PHP bit of it in the middle.

I think I finally got it! I think that figuring out the mathematical equation behind this was the hardest part. Math is def not one of my strong points. I was able to figure out the php coding for the most part, but couldn't figure out how to add the sum of the previous two numbers (I kept adding one instead). Once I was walked through the equation, it made a lot more sense. Hopefully this is correct.

A lighthearted look at the Fibonacci Sequence, styled with some quick and dirty CSS. Looks OK maximized in Firefox - disliking IE more and more every day.

This site is supposed to display some of my photography work. It is simply supposed to introduce people to the style of pictures I take from landscapes to people. The menu bar on this site I learned last semester in 512. It is supposed to navigate the user throughout the site.

I love the simplicity of 37Signals applications. It is based on Ruby On Rails and they have a terrific outlook on Web Application design and running a business.

I am getting into web programming and eventually into this technology :-) I think SaaS is the way of the future and SproutCore makes the browser-based web application a better experience!

I added a menu bar to my recipe page. Now, the page links to "Other Recipes", "Other Soups" and "College Inn," all with dropdown options linking to external sites.

I forgot to add that I used this site as a reference for the Menu Bar: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/ A friend of mine also helped me with the positioning of the nav as well.

Here is a slightly more festive version of my original page for gluten-free pizza crust.

I used the QU page that I replicated from the first module. I added a menu bar in order to decrease the amount of scrolling for the user. This way when they go to the page they can click on the menu tab rather than scrolling all the way down the page to see the options. Having a menu bar is so much more effective for this webpage, each tab goes to the QU website for each topic.

I fixed a few of the gap issues. This is how it looks now.

After way too long of attempting to figure out how to make this page, the light bulb finally lit up (dim, but it turned on). Instead of just numbers rotating randomly, I incorporated images of dice. I also implemented CSS stylesheet for the background and text. Also, instead of a using the brower refresh button, I added my own :-)

This comment on the 3-3 lecture may help you with future challenges involving php.

What's your sign PHP. This form asks for your birth month and birth day. You can then submit to get your sign.

so how do we get in here?

cool custom Wordpress theme design

I'm becoming interested in how folks using Wordpress and other blogs have such distinctive designs. Turns out there are people/companies that are now designing custom templates (is that an oxymoron?). Here's one I just found, Monochrome Pro from Graph Paper Press

My recipe page restyled.

I think I'm finally starting to understand php. It's not the easiest language, thats for sure! (or is it!?) With that said, here is my Fibonacci Sequence up to 500. I looked a variety of different codes online, but didn't use just one. After looking at a whole bunch I realized there are quite a few ways to write this code. Which in my mind, only compicated matters more...

Yes! It's true of most programming tasks: there are many ways to accomplish the same thing. In some ways it does complicate things, but it's also (though it may not feel like it now) makes it fun! It's especially good when you find a "good hack"--a shortcut that makes your code better, faster, shorter, and more simple. Congrats on this one, it's a hard program to puzzle out.
