So I had web programming today and here is our current review work:

here

Simple, only does 1 thing, but now I can finally get around to learning html on my own time as well.

...it doesn't do anything.

that's the beauty of it.

That's the beauty of it.

Edit: Blast you Strider!

Html alone isn't enough; you probably need to learn at least CSS and Xhtml as well. And PHP. Then ajax.

w3cschools.com should be useful.

Do learn CSS. Also, javascript and dhtml are a must if you want any type of dynamic behavior. Ajax is just a clever use of those two.

PHP - maybe, but that's really getting into another whole discipline. It's cool, but it's only one of several ways to do server-side application logic.

nothing as in nothing? if you type in "bob" or any other word it should say "hello [something]"
 
Posted by MattP (Member # 10495) on :
 
It does do that. Good first step.
 
Posted by Phanto (Member # 5897) on :
 
Ditto.

It probably doesn't work for some people because you forgot a slash in your closing title tag.

ASP and ColdFusion are both fun toys.
 
Posted by vonk (Member # 9027) on :
 
Yeah, still nothing for me. Just a blank screen after I hit 'OK'.

I would think that that would make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, since you know that a significant hurdle remains between Blayne and his plan for world domination.

How cute - it's literally the Hello World of Internet pages. I'm glad to see the good old traditions of computer science being kept up. [Smile]

But Blayne, aren't you in the last year of your degree? Why are you only learning HTML at this point?
 
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
 
we learned some html and perl last year but everyone forgets so were doing a bit of review, basicaly everything we do in class will possess elements expanded from this page.

I just started putting together a site with ruby on rails, and personally, I'm really a fan. It was pretty easy to get into things up and functional in a fairly short time. Pretty much all I have left is the actual presentation of some of the pages.

Eh, RoR is okay. It has a lot of really rough parts, both due to being based on Ruby and in its implementation. There are better frameworks with similar degrees of 'automagic'. The RoR community has put out an astounding amount of intro documentation, though. Of course, several of the intro docs come with "and never do this in production code" warnings [Wink] .

RoR...*deep sigh*

I find php really useful. It may not be the only server-side language there is, but it's great for basic databases and keeping code less cluttered.

Don't get me on the topic of PHP [Wink]
 
Posted by Phanto (Member # 5897) on :
 
Now I'm curious.

Raft of PHP.

Island. Island being flooded.

fugu13 on island. fugu13 jumps on to PHP raft.

*fugu13 is on PHP.

>>: wisdom. Note how he avoids n00b approaches >>: that lesser programmers might adopt, and how >>: his generalized debugging approach offers versatility and power.

Have you considered entering it for the Turing Test - I was fooled... [Wink]
