Week 8.... Take 8

HTML

This W3Schools method of teaching really appeals to me since I am a hands on learner. Rather than just explaining HTML to you, it encourages you to test it out for yourself and get actual experience instead of theoretical. Everything is broken down into easily readable sections and chapters. I highly enjoyed the "This is a ____" when talking about certain codes for HTML, as if the heading did not explain what was to follow.

HTML Cheat Sheet

The Cheat Sheet is basically a quick reference version of the W3Schools article without chapters. This gives you the quick version of the W3 article without all of the examples and explanations. For the next assignment, I will probably be referring to this rather than the W3 article, unless I am entirely lost in something.

CSS

The CSS article is basically set up the same at the W3 article and considering there is no cheat sheet associated with CSS, I will probably be referring to this. But there is a table of contents on the left hand side of the web page so it basically is a self contained cheat sheet but you have to put a little extra work into it.

To Infinity and Beyond HTML

I highly enjoy when we get an article actually explaining how we are going to use a topic in our field. This is a prime example of it. The new generation of librarians is going to need to adapt to the new job descriptions. Very soon librarians are basically going to have to run their own IT department and be able to troubleshoot any technical problem that comes up. As stated in this article librarians are going to be expected to be able to update the library web site and make it usable and presentable to the public.
