The finals!

My final blog for this class in addition to my finals
1.What are the 3 things I got from this class:
a.) I learned more about css style sheets and am getting comfortable using them
b.) I love the forms. It's a great way of getting input from your clients without having to talk to them on the phone.
c.) I learned a lot more techniques that I could actually use in existing programs.In other words, if I use Dreamweaver and can't make a particular command work,I find it easier just to break in the code and change it to suit my needs.
2.I think the class pretty much covered the aspects of web design that the book has promised. The actual class has clarified whatever the book has failed to explain so it actually helped to show up for class.
3.I like the book! It is very concise and actually gives a lot of necessary information in order to build a website.

My Homepage

Please don't forget to visit my homepage at COS. By the way, I am not pleased with the external style sheet I used for my Mystery Guild Blogspot. Hence, I shall maintain the original css stylesheet in my CSCI 28B blog, aptly known as my Joie-ful thoughts.Ooooh! I can imagine my classmates cringing at that last statement.

Exercise 24a

*I have subscribed to Google Reader and subscribed to some of my classmates' webblogs that are currently available.

*Our lesson in Hour 24 includes studying about RSS. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary and is a format that delivers changing web content. RSS solves the problem for people who check out certain websites frequently by placing all of these sites in one area.It allows them to stay informed by retrieving the latest content from these sites without having to visit each site individually.

I like this format because all I have to do is bookmark one area and still get updated on all of my favorites sites in one convenient location. I would definitely use it because of the easy access it allows me to my favorite sites.

*Right now, I signed up with the World blog and Goolge News to update myself with world events. It gives me an update on current events without being too overwhelming. My Time and Business Week magazines already keep me busy enough in addition to the other things I am presently involved in.

*Another part of this lesson involves learning about CMS or Content Management Systems. CMS is a software that keeps track of every piece of content on your web site like those found in your web blogs, corporate or personal websites and social networking sites. It's like a library that keeps track of all the content in your website and enables you to build your sites with powerful online applications. Drupal and Joomla offers CMS and they are open source or free.

I will definitely use this system when I eventually start designing websites especially if they involve e-commerce applications.
