Helpful Resource

In this course we are learning Ajax which is a combination of XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript working together to create dynamic web pages. I haven't had a lot of experience with JavaScript before, so I needed a resource to help me learn a few things. One of the best resources I found was w3schools.

This site is great. They offer tutorials, references, and examples for learning XHTML, CSS, JavaScript and so much more. They even let you experiment with code and test the examples yourself.
The course book does a good job of explaining how Ajax works but other resources are needed. This site has really helped me to get a better understanding of JavaScript and building web pages. I hope this information will be as helpful to others as it was for me.

  3. This link looks pretty helpful. I will make sure I look for this post when the time comes. I'm sure I can just ask you in class for help because I know that you are a little more advanced than me in this topic. What do you think about the book in reference to the class, do you feel that the site helped you learn better than the book or do then compliment eachother? Hopefully this class isn't too much for me but I will probably be asking you for as many references and help as possible. See you soon! :)

  5. I spent a great deal of time with the XHTML and CSS validator. I guess I didn't take the time to explore the site further, because I didn't know that it covered JavaScript as well, thats good to know.
