My second class session of my HTML 5 programming was yesterday, luckily for me Mr. Good decided to go over the <div> usage again, seeing as how the majority of the class was a bit confused on it. Yesterdays class really focused on how to insert images into your coding and how to make sure the image you use won't take up your entire webpage. We got a crash course on how to use Photoshop in order to convert our images to the right file type we needed in order to insert them into the line of coding. The first half of the class was spent purely on finding images we liked and converting them on Photoshop into the right size and file type. Coming back from lunch, Mr. Good finally started teaching us how to insert the image into the coding, the main line of coding that HTML 5 uses to insert images is <img id="*title of image you want*" src="*the location of the image you're using*" />. We spent the majority of the second half of the class really just mastering this line of code, a long with learning this, Mr. Good also taught us how to create ordered and unordered lists so that we may have a list of text in our website if need be. The last hour and half of class, we were introduced to how to create tables instead of just having a list of text. Learning how to insert images into our coding has been the most difficult part of learning HTML 5 so far, hopefully i won't have a hard time with it during our final project.

Capstone Hours #1

On saturday i started my HTML 5 Programming class through San Francisco State University. Coming into the class i was a little nervous considering that i was a senior in high school and most of the members of the class where all middle aged men and women who have had several years of work experience in some type of field of programming. Luckily for me i have some history with scripting languages so i was able to understand some of the terms my instructor used throughout the day. The first session of class we really focused on learning how to use Dreamweaver with HTML 5 and learning how to set up folders to help organize our website layout and our script files. After getting all that set up, we went through some of he basic tags used in HTML 5 such as <body> and <title>, a very important note that my instructor told us to always remember is that every tag used in HTML 5, with the exception of a few, must always have a closing tag. So when creating a title you must have <title> *insert text here* </title> (this of course being the closing tag he was referring to). After coming back from lunch, my instructor took us through a little of the history of HTML 5 and showed some tags that were no longer being used with the new HTML version. The rest of the consisted of playing around more with the tags we learned and also being able to test our first real web page, of course through the web page was not live and could only be seen on the client side. Overall i was extremely happy when i left my first day class and could not wait to go back the following week. One question i had was asking Mr. Good to help me a little with the <div> tags as it was sort of confusing when he was explaining the use of them.
