Taking four subjects in one semester I always can feel the stress and the strain.

Learning Journal ----XHTML

This week the subject has moved on to the client-side technologies ----PHP and SQL. I think it is the time when I should summarize my journey of learning and exploring the two technologies that I selected in my learning contract---- XHTML and CSS.

XHTML
During the process of writing ‘Technology Micro and Macro Analysis’ I started to know more and deeper about XHTML. What this technology is? The differences between XHTML and HTML? How to use this technology to build the structure of a web page?
Reading books is necessary and effective approach to learning a new technology. I’ve read most parts about HTML in the book ‘SA SAMS Teach Yourself HTML and CSS in 24 Hours’.This book is easy to understand and I followed the examples to do some practises. Everytime after I followed the example to type some codes in the text editor I always felt curious and suspicious about whether the display of the web page would be changed as the way the book wrote and showed. Then if it did I would be excited and if it didn’t I would feel frustrated. Many tags and attributes introduced in the book are related to and will be used in my project, so I think they are quite useful.
