I am being impatient!!!

How to practice your HTML authoring

Dean Bridges — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 12:42:34 GMT

Please excuse my lack of basic understanding but the simple fact is that i have read the whole unit 4 book twice and this information is either not there or is well hiden i am trying to practice and write my own but i can't find how to view it it shows the coding in the book(all the and <body> etc) and then shows what it looks like when you create your own html page in notepad how to you view it as a web page (should i be using Notepad) i ... </article> <article> <h1>Check up</h1> <p>Shovinus — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 07:37:53 GMT</p> Hello guys, just checking to see you have all got started, as M150 is now in full flow, personally I have my first tutorial this tuesday,w hat about the rest of you? <br /> <br /> Finding the TMAs easy enough? </article> <article> <h1>Quick stoopid question!</h1> <p>jmarko — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 22:11:33 GMT</p> I've seen something posted in my tutor group thing with an example of a good email and one of a bad email. The people that have replied have alluded to activity 2.3 - but I can't find that anywhere. Am I going mad so early in the course? If not, can someone tell me where the bally heck activity 2.3 is? <br /> <br /> With apologies for the bad language! <br /> <br /> jmarko </article> <article> <h1>Shark Attacks</h1> <p>TL63 — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:00:11 GMT</p> Seeing as some of us are involved in a course that involves data, I came across a story on the BBC that made me chuckle. It concerns how people will interpret data or statistics to prove that their point of view or actions were correct. An example is that the smoking ban in Wales "caused" a 13% fall in heart attacks from October to December 2007, compared with the same period in 2006. What the author argues is as the ban began in April, did it also "cause" the rise in ... </article> <article> <h1>your thoughts on the learning references</h1> <p>Dean Bridges — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:10:01 GMT</p> Mybe its me, but does any one else think that the references in the books is a little bit off putting? I.E. quotes from shakespear and T.S. Elliot for example i'm not knocking it but this being the foundation for ITC i can not see the relevance, and if analagies are being used would it not be better if they were computer related. i can tell (or assume) that the author of these books is very passionate about arts,history and all things fluffy and cute, and that he/she thinks that ... </article> <article> <h1>Any Mac users out there?</h1> <p>jmarko — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:25:29 GMT</p> I'm having a moment... I am sure that I've posted this before... But I can't find it here or on the First Class forums... So bear with me! Are there any Mac users out there who are going to be doing M150 (or T175 for that matter!)? If so, shall we make this a Mac help area? If not, I'll just sit here on me own! </article> <article> <h1>Perceptual Data</h1> <p>Joniwhit — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:43:58 GMT</p> I just can't get my head round it, can anyone help (if we're allowed to do this, its not part of an assingment) <br /> I'm having problems trying to explain in my own words what it means. The internet is of no help. <br /> If any one can give me clues I would be very grateful. <br /> <br /> Joni </article> <article> <h1>AS we have all looked at our books!!!!!</h1> <p>kermit — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 14:02:54 GMT</p> Yes the package arrived and we all had to have a look to see what we had let ourselves in for, I think it looks really good and I am glad I have chosen to do this course, it has also given me a chance to rethink my future plans. I have read through Book 1 and 2, made a few notes and Clicked on links here and there some worked some not, Its OK to learn the basics and everything but I just want to get stuck in and we still have a few weeks before we start and I fear I may have read all the ... </article> <article> <h1>Binary - Decimal - Hexidecimal</h1> <p>kermit — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:08:01 GMT</p> Wow, seeing lots of 0 and 1's right now, I am sure some of you have had experience of binary code, I knew it existed obviously but have never used it, so right now I have been working and doing all the exercises and the optional ones to really get my head round it, I understand it to a point and can figure out how to make the numbers and understand that 0001 is 1 and 0010 is two and the progression and then they went and confused me with the negatives and the unsigned and signed and now I am ... </article> <article> <h1>By the way . . .</h1> <p>Shovinus — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 22:16:46 GMT</p> . . . feel free to create your own topics, I notcie so far you are only posting in topics I have created, do what you want guys this is your forum use as you feel, just as long as you use common sense </article> <article> <h1>T175 & M150 up :)</h1> <p>Shovinus — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 22:00:33 GMT</p> Ok topic forums for both M150 and T175 are both now setup and in order </article> <article> <h1>Degree Level study</h1> <p>Branty — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:49:39 GMT</p> I'm finding the M150 stuff interesting but so far its not really stetching me, it is probably a great way to get back into academic work. To be honest the most challenging side for me so far (and possibly the scariest and most subjective) is around plagiarism and referencing work. Having said all this I am looking forward to playing with HTML and JavaScript both of which we all use everyday on the web but something I have never really gotten to grips with at the fundamental source cosde ... </article> <article> <h1>T175</h1> <p>kmlc3 — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 12:49:30 GMT</p> Hi all, <br /> <br /> Just introducing myself for T175 , received my stuff through yesterday and looking forward to it.. finished M150 earlier this year so had a couple of months break..Look forward to the discussions on the course work. </article> <article> <h1>My aims and goals</h1> <p>Shovinus — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 12:17:58 GMT</p> Well, I am hoping to become part of a web development team, I have been learning visual basic by myself for a few months and created a few programs for my own use, I am going to move to C++ soon and learning Java should be very useful. I am not sure entirely yet where I am headed, but I wish to work from home over the internet because my girlfriend is Polish and we are hoping to move to Poland at some point so having a mobile point of work will be very useful. I am thinking of maybe setting ... </article> <article> <h1>Not Course related, just something someone sent me...... Tech support</h1> <p>kermit — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 18:10:01 GMT</p> Dear Tech Support: Last year i upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program begun unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Golfing 3.6. I cant seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background whileattempting to run my favourite ... </article> <article> <h1>Calendar</h1> <p>Shovinus — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:48:52 GMT</p> For those of you who do not know what dates things are happening I have put all the dates on the calendar accessible via the portal or via the top link bar. <br /> If you wish to download please go to the M150 webpage, there is a link in the portal </article> <article> <h1>Links Up!</h1> <p>Shovinus — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:18:22 GMT</p> There are now links to useful places on the portal. <br /> If you have any other useful links you want to share please tell me and I will put them up. </article> <article> <h1>CMA41 - Deadline</h1> <p>Shovinus — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 21:59:46 GMT</p> CMA41 - Deadline <br /> Compulsory assignment must be submitted before this date </article> <article> <h1>TMA05 - Deadline</h1> <p>Shovinus — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 21:55:50 GMT</p> TMA05 - Deadline <br /> Compulsory assignment must be submitted before noon on this date </article> <article> <h1>TMA04 - Deadline</h1> <p>Shovinus — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 21:51:05 GMT</p> TMA04 - Deadline </article> <article> <h1>16.
