Week TWO!

Week 2 - First Quiz!
The anticipation of my first quiz was killing me. But the quiz was handed out and by the second page I knew all the answers! In the end I missed 2 questions and I know why I got them wrong. So not bad for the first quiz in 26 years!

I felt so good that I studied so well, comprehended the material and enjoyed the class lecture.

Week 2 - Studying Chapter 3 for class on Monday night 2/13/12.

Okay, so Chapter 3 didn't sink in quite so easily the first round!!!

So I read the Chapter and then I closed the book. Thoughts of running screaming from the room crossed my mind! I picked it up again and highlighted all of the important parts while re-reading the chapter. This time around it started sinking in. Then after doing the practice exercises I was back on track! Mind you, not 100% but comprehending.

Learning the beginning of CSS - Cascading Style Sheets

Inline Styles
Embedded Styles
External Styles
Imported Styles
Class Selector
id Selector
Div element
Span element
External Style Sheets

The key is knowing when to use them and where to put them!

Reading and scribbling notes! Do the practice exercises. They say that practice makes perfect and it's so true. Doing the code over and over again can only help!

I'll get it. I have plenty of questions for Monday night. I have my Case study from Chapter 2 done. In the meantime I'll keep hacking away at the keyboard using JEdit to get these pages to open and look right.
