Web Design Summer 2020

    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...

I made an adult website with very lack security apparently. You enter your age and if It’s above 21 you get a welcome message, if it’s not you are told to go away, if it’s not an age you are told to submit again. I decided to use an else if to be fancy. I’m excited to learn PHP. We’re getting into very new material for me. I made my wireframe in powerpoint. I almost did it in photoshop but I wanted my links to actually go somewhere. This might be the wireframe for my actual final. The notes on the slide in black are not clickable and aren’t part of the wireframe, I just wanted to let you know where to click. My wireframe is for a store. There’s a virtual store front or map in the fist page with different areas to click. Those images take you to a product page with a description and options in a drop down (assuming we learn drop downs) based on the selections a price is tabulated and goes to a shopping cart (I hope this isn’t super complex) where the totals are added up in the last f...

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...
