Module 2

I like to code by breaking first, I also have an infant, so this assignment took way longer than it should have. Dreamweaver isn’t very intuitive for me. My module 3 link on my home page is still underlined and I don’t know how to get rid of it. My pictures showed up a little warped (I know pictures are next unit but I wanted to play with the layout). I ended up without the stylesheet (oops) I uploaded the wrong one. I got a 404 error for about 2 hours when I forgot to replace index2, even though it was in the lecture.  

Oops.

Module 6

    So, our text says the PHP site has a windows installer. This appears to no longer be the case. I’m rubbish at manual downloads. I tried it didn’t work, so I downloaded XAMPP server which has PHP built in. Could there have been an easier way? Eh, maybe. I watched a tutorial for XAMPP. I like XAMPP it seems pretty easy and straight forward. I had a hello world program running in 5 minutes. I really dig my XAMPP server. Now my code using the include file never worked. I tried the page you are currently not seeing and then I tried the example verbatim. I never got it working. I gave up on dreamweaver and went straight to notepad++ it still didn’t work. Maybe my path is wrong? I spent an insane amount of time trying to get this to work (hours) and reading forums. I’m still not sure why it doesn’t? My PHP runs on localhost. I had to quit I had spent like 8 hours total on this stupid thing. The sprite was kind of fun. I like JSfiddle. You can see my sprite on my website. The lo...

This was easy. The bracket was missing around else. This took me about 5 seconds. I’m glad this part of the assignment was easy for me. I have taken a few basic programming classes in the past so I’m well aware how picky brackets can be.   if (hour < 18) {     greeting = "Good day"; } else {     greeting = "Good evening"; } I took it slow this week and watched a lot of tutorials. I really appreciated the photoshop tutorials from Adobe, they broke it up into easy lessons. I particularly liked removing paint from the shirt adding flowers to the arrangement in the demo pictures. I also watched a few Dreamweaver tutorials afterwards that I had skipped. Turns out there were a lot easier ways to do what I’d been trying to do in my projects. Oops. At least I know now why things are the way they are. This week seemed deceptively easy but it might be because of how many extra tutorials I went through. I took this class to expand my resume skills. I...

1. The code for this assignment appears correct (that seems too easy). The variables are price1 and price2 and the object is total. Total can hold multiple variables, it holds both price1 and price 2 combined. 2. Now for the more difficult part. I made an image in Canva and saved it as a PNG, JPEG, and GIF. Filezilla did not like the GIF at all. I tried resizing it, used a different template, and I even Googled “filezilla won’t upload GIF.” I couldn’t get it. Either the connection was terminated or it said the file uploaded but it wouldn’t work. I’m really interested to find out why it didn’t work. The PNG file was the highest quality and looked the sharpest on my screens. It took the longest to download too. It wasn’t so noticeable on my desktop (next to my router) but when I tried on my phone, it made a huge difference the first time I loaded it. I think if you don’t really need a PNG file, a JPEG is a lot more practical in terms of loading speed. I’m really bummed out I didn’t g...
