IS week 2

This week, we had a forum discussion on IT topics, and we had to do a lot of stuff on Ning, the used forum site, and I had to choose between a blog and a website, and then state the reason. I picked blog, because a blog is easy to maintain and use.

IS first lesson

This week we were introduced to Web 2.0 technology, which is something we are using mow. Web 1.0 was a technology that only allowed stuff from a master computer to be seen by other people but not edited, whereas Web 2.0 technology allowed other viewers other than the original creator to edit the stuff, in Web 1.0, things were only shared, while in Web 2.0, everybody is able to connect and share which everyone else.

IS week 4

This week we learnt about CSS: Cascading Style Sheets. It was quite interesting, but was definitely more complicated than HTML: Hyper Text Marked-up Language. In CSS, what we did was to encode some colors, fonts and the like, and then the CSS file is linked to the HTML file, which will then have the colors and fonts encoded in the CSS file. What we learned was the external style sheet, which allowed us to link multiple pages to a single style sheet, so that the HTML pages have a constant and consistent look.

IS week 3

This week we learned about html. I first thought it would be difficult, but I found that it was definitely easier than C++. I found html very interesting, as I definitely didn't know a webpage could be created with just Notepad, and as I always wanted to create a webpage, I found it really interesting.
