The End Is Near!!! (happy dance)

Well, peeps, we've reached the final stretch. The last mile. The end of the road. However you want to call it, the point is, we made it! We've learned or, in some probable cases, expounded on the skills to create a website from the cyber-ground up. Everything I learned has been awesome, yet it reaffirms my belief that this isn't something that I'd want to do for a living. Maybe as a side-job, if I can get good enough.

Now comes the hard parts. At least for me. Finishing my Course Project, and remembering everything that I've learned over these hectic, drama filed two months for the final exam. I've seen snippets of some awesome looking projects, and I hope everything works out for everyone.

Good luck everybody and happy coding!

It's All in the Scripting!

Javascript is what gives webpages that extra 'oomph'. It's used to include the non-static functions that are so helpful. A variety of things for a variety of reasons. With Javascript, you can keep the date current, as well as the time. You can even have a counter on your page. We will be implementing some of these 'can haves' in our lab (as usual), especially the date feature. We will also be counting down to New Year's and using jQuery for the countdown. This is looking to be an interesting week.

Form this, form that...

And now it's time for forms!

Forms are used all throughout the web. From registration forms to checkout forms. Even our login pages are a type of form. This week's lab will actually have a great impact on my course project. Making a checkout form will be essential to my little web store. Having worked heavily with databases, I've used, created and queried forms for years now, but this will be the first time that I've made one using HTML.

I wonder how difficult it would be to connect the html form with a database table (code-wise).
