Lerning Reflection 11/15/13

Last week, my computer class and I learned a lot about Photoshop.  I learned that Photoshop is an application where you can manipulate pictures to the way you like them, create pictures for web pages.  Many people use Photoshop like graphic designers, visual communicators, and ordinary people as well.  I also learned how to use Photoshop's plethora of  tools to create and edit pictures.  There are a whole bunch of tools, I only scratched the surface in photo editing.  It was hard at first to navigate Photoshop, but once you spend a good hour on it, it'll be easy.  Also, I learned how to create my own banner and how to upload it to my own website.  Using Photoshop has been really fun.  Here is the banner: http://steverebollowiki.wikispaces.com/%2520.

11/6/13 Learning Reflection

There are a lot of things I have learned over the past week about HTML.  HTML is basically the language a web browser speaks and reads to display content.  It reads the HTML code and then displays the web page you are viewing.  A web browser does not only display web pages, it can display HTML files as well.  I learned that to make an HTML code, you don't need any fancy application.  you really just need notepad and the Internet if you don't know the tags.  I learned about the tags necessary to create a HTML code that the browser can read.  In addition, I created my own website using the things I learned from HTML.  

While creating my first website, I had some minor issues.  An issue I had was knowing if I typed in the HTML tags correctly.  To resolve this, I would type in the name of the file I was typing my HTML code to in the web browser.  It would show me the translated HTML code and from there I can see where I made mistakes.  I also had a little trouble remembering all the HTML codes, but thankfully the tags are on a website.  The website I used to look up the tags was w3schools.  This past week, I have learned a lot about HTML.
