Week 8 - Notes

HTML Tutorial
This was a nice little tutorial. A lot of it I knew already (I have some experience designing web pages), but it was a nice review. I also like how it was set up so that you could play around with the HTML and see what the effect would be.

HTML Cheatsheet
I don't think there's really a way to comment on this. It's really straightforward - it's just a list of HTML tags. It's nice to have a quick reference like this, though.

CSS Tutorial
This seems like a pretty straightforward "language." My main thought is that I would have trouble with it simply because it's not HTML.

Goans, D., Leach, G., & Vogel, T. M. (2006). Beyond HTML: Developing and re-imagining library web guides in a content management system. Library Hi Tech, 24(1), 29-53.
This was pretty interesting. It shows an alternative to HTML, and also shows a way that web page editing can be applied to a library setting.

  1. You mentioned you already have HTML experience...Did it take you long to master HTML? What tools do you use when designing web pages?

  2. For the HTML cheatsheet, I like how we are given a list of tags. For those of us who are not that good with computers anything that can cut out steps is a good thing.

  3. I agree about CSS. I think I'll have difficulty because it's not basic Java or HTML, which are the codes I'm familiar with.

    Also, the tutorial page on HTML was pretty nifty even if I already knew most of it.
