This was certainly one of the stranger stops on my journeys. Truth? Madness? Life and Death? What does it mean?

How to excel in learning XHTML

Well, the semester is almost over, and I have enjoyed this class. I learned a lot about the XHTML language, of course, I can’t say that I have mastered every aspect of it yet, but I am getting there. My advice to anyone is to spend as much time as you can practicing the language, indeed, “practice” is the key to success no matter what you do in life. When you practice constantly it’s easier for you to remember the codes and rules of any computer language. If you don’t practice it’s like reading a manual on how to drive a car without never attempting to drive it. Well, if the latter is true, you will never learn to drive no matter how many times you are going to read that manual. Good luck to you all.

Quick and Easy Reference Guide

I’m sure you all know that the end of the semester is just around the corner. Don’t forget about taking full advantage of the “Book Buy Back” week as well. Therefore, six months from now, whether or not you stick with the Web Technology program, you might happen to forget a few simple terms. Most of us will  probably google what we don’t know, but for those looking for more, I advise you to check out W3 Schools. Nothing new to report here, just a friendly reminder.

Whether your interested in a subject or just looking for a last minute bit of knowledge on your projects, either way its a win/win. It certainly helped me out with my project on DHTML.

Web Journey’s 3 – Resist the Call

Its a special Halloween edition! This is my favorite holiday of all time, so I needed to give you guys something special. A few years ago, a videogame called ‘Siren’ was released on the playstation 2. While scary enough by itself, it failed to really catch on, but its European release coincided with this chilling flash site!

You find yourself before a dark alter, with one urn lit. Whichever one is lit first is random, and each will take you into the life of one of four people in a remote Japaneses village. As you explore, you will uncover the hidden truths of this ancient place, and one by one, the flames burn out.

But what happens after they’re all gone?

100 great free and open source tools and applications for web developers

100 great free and open source tools and applications for web developersis rocking list of resouces for web developers. Have to say though I am really not crazy about NVU. It reformats your html code as soon as you open your page to edit it. There might be a way to turn that “feature” off, but I didn’t look that far.
