  • What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense?
  • What challenges are you facing with respect to the course?

Week One

The first week of this course was had the same things that most classes have in the first few days of classes. We went over the goals of the class and the grading for the course. Along with that stuff we went over the lab46 stuff. Some of this stuff I knew from other classes with Matt and some I did not. We went over moving through the directories and creating them. Went over nano. How to create and delete files as well as rename the files. I was glad to hear that php has similar syntax to C as I know C's syntax kinda well. I was also glad to hear that it is going to be more relaxed than data structures was. All and all I am interested in this as I have never really done anything with webpages or anything only just C programs that ran in front of me. I am a little confuse on how we trouble shoot syntax errors as there is no compiler to tell us we are wrong.

Week Two

Week two of this php class (I still have no idea of its real name) is going pretty well. I am glad to see that php follows the same syntax as the as C does with it's loops and if statements. I find it very cool that we can do some visual stuff with this like making colors, tables, and backgrounds with the html part of it. C was fun but I never really got into the visual stuff besides some basic stuff. I am really getting into this #FF00FF color. It is very nice on the eyes. I am having a little trouble with the html stuff. It is really my first time doing anything with html so I am messing up a lot of the tags. I understand the whole opening tag and closing tags it is just when you throw the different tags with the different things like back ground color or table stuff in with the echo statements I lose what I am doing pretty fast. It will take some playing around and I exited to be doing more with this to see what we can do with it. My goal is to have a background gif of just nyan cat. One day I will met that goal and I will nyan cat every page I do.
