Initially, the book work was difficult - especially that
bistro page that required linking from one folder to another. That assignment
took me three days to figure out what I was doing wrong. Apparently, every time
I would save a file I would save it with the exercise name (ex: chapter 6 exercise 3) instead of jenskitchen - this created issues and confusion when I
was trying to link to different files within the page. Once I figured out what I did wrong, and I
saw how all the files linked within other files, I was overcome with a sense of
accomplishment. It was hard to learn at
first, but once I knew how everything linked together, I realized what an easy
and fundamentally important process this is.
Also, I loved learning about css more than
anything else. It is a lot of fun to click on a few keys on the keyboard and
create an aesthetically pleasing page.
Creating the 2 column web page in class was a lot of fun - granted, I
kept accidentally typing an extra hash tag and parenthesis messing up my page;
however, it was a lot of fun, and also very rewarding. The most exciting feature
is being able to hover over a word link like "Home" or "Books"
and seeing it change colors. Also, I loved the gradients that were used to
create that special graphic touch. Fun stuff. But, I wish someone would create a system that would highlight any mistakes... I hate missing a colon or something and to sit for 30 minutes trying to figure out what I did wrong. :P
