Today was devoted entirely to learning new languages that we are going to use this summer. I will be dealing with the website side of things which means learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. HTML is a fairly easy language to pickup, especially when all of the school computers have Dreamweaver installed which simplifies the entire process. I worked through a HTML and a CSS tutorial at the same time and created a test site that just includes a bunch of basic elements. I then worked with a JavaScript lesson and added a few scripts. Nothing too special, a lot of “hello world!” and “this is a button!”. PHP got put on the back burner because it is a lot harder to learn without a server (which I currently do not have access to).
