brain-dead

March 10, 2009

This coming Sunday would be my last session for my basic web developing class. Finally. I wanted to study this for one reason. It has been postponed for around 2 months, and I almost did not enroll. It was my first time to study again in 5 years, and it was different—it was harder. When I was a kid, I memorized the preamble in less than an hour. Memorizing the periodic table element (names and symbols only) was not so hard, and I love memorizing Philippine geographic names. Five years ago, while working for an online travel company, ask me about all hotels or all airports (including their 3-letter codes) in the US and I can tell them all. But now, I could not tell which codes are for html and which are for CSS. After every class, it seemed to slip my mind right away! I’m doomed. Last Sunday, 80% of my time was spent surfing the net while in class. There’s no point listening. I could not follow the lesson (JavaScript) anyway. I will try to self-study, but I’m not hoping much that I can grasp the concept. I cannot figure those if–then–else constructions. To top it all, I have to submit a 4-page web site, and I have NO idea what to do, or if I can do it. Suggestions please. My brain cells are all dead.

I wish I could suggest something, but in terms of html and technological ideas, the closest I got to this is working on my blog…lol.

Don’t stress (don’t be like me and not get any sleep because of it). The ideas will come.

If you need help, just text me or call me, you can ask the hubby for some tutorials even if we’re miles away… I’ll send you the Sun number on your YM.

Hang in there Mordsith! You’ll soon reap your rewards, you’ll see. I’m sorry but I won’t be much help because I have no clue or whatsoever about Java script. :( But the hubs might be able to help you :) If you have any question just let me know.

Gusto ko man sabihing si Rico, eh wala talaga akong magagawa. Kaya:

Part of growing up no? Dati talaga it was very easy to memorize things pero ngayon it takes forever. Keep the faith!

Two words: Microsoft Frontpage. :) Easy way out.
It’s like using WORD or Powerpoint to build a simple website. But there is a chance that your instructor will notice because the HTML code will look different.

haha. my classmates said it generates a clutter of html codes, but hmmm… better that than no website at all! *evil grin*

If you want a really easy to follow tutorial, check www.w3schools.com. It’s pretty easy if you’d be patient at learning and putting your heart into it. You can do it :)
