Uploading HTML

Filed under: CSIT1110 —— rgoodreau @ 6:34 pm

Since I’ve previously uploaded a hand-coded HTML website before, I’ll primarily sum up my experiences then move on to databases. The HTML assignment all and all was very fun, even though HTML isn’t difficult. I believe HTML is very fun to work with because it involves instant gratification, you can see the results of your work instantly as you go.

I am a certainly a proponent of learning hand-coded HTML. There are lots of debates on web development suites vs hand-coded HTML, but Dr. Brown said it best for sure. If you’re a programmer, which I hope some people are interested in coming since this is a Comp Sci. course, how are you supposed to write a program that needs to use HTML if you don’t know it? I’ve had experience working with software packages before, and while they are a useful tool, they don’t always do what you want them to. Knowing HTML is very helpful in these scenarios.

Just as interesting, is the process in which HTML is uploaded and stored. For this assignment we were given unique ID’s to log in with an SSH client. I used Filezilla to upload it from home and stupidly named my code Index.html instead of index.html :) . Blasted caps lock!
