HTML5

HTML5 is an updated version of HTML allowing users to create and use sites with easily accessible or embedded videos on the web page, as well as allowing users to use web apps without needing an  internet connection or WiFi. HTML5 also allows dragging and dropping allowing, well, dragging and dropping, like when attaching files to emails, etc. Unfortunately in order to use these features you need to have a browser that can run HTML5 code... Luckily though, today most browsers we use are updated to the features of HTML5 and can be downloaded for free. Most people I know use Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Internet Safari, which are all updated to this standard and available to download for free. Even those who use other browsers are usually updated enough to access all these features that are now available to users by HTML5 code and the programs that read and run it. Learning HTML5 is an invaluable tool and useful skill to have and continue to learn throughout life.

Web Safe Colors

    Colors are simply the way our brain interprets electromagnetic radiation within the color spectrum. Computers trick our minds by making groups of 3 by 3 dots of green, blue, and red so close together that our minds will usually trick itself into believing it is seeing a canvas of color, not dots. Any color in the spectrum can be generated this way, by having 256 shades/variations for each color, you can generate anywhere within 16,777,216 different colors that then can display in groups of dots for your brain to see. By doing this you can see what you are doing on computers, and makes them usable and easy to change the colors you see or the text you see. Even this text is made of tiny dots arranged to show my ideas, but there are such things as web safe colors which can be used on the web. These are specialized colors that can be used on websites internationally, other colors only some can see, which can make big problems for web designers and anyone wanting to make a website. This is why you should always use web safe colors on your pages.

HTML Javascript and CSS

   

Super Awesome Completely and Utterly Ultra Voltage Noobs of Doom and Destruction!!!!!!!!

       When programming and using websites there are three codes/programs that are needed to make that page possible, without any of these, all websites would be useless or even inexistent. You see every website, every image, every video, every game, every download, every comment page, everyone's youtube pages (by the way subscribe to me at youtube.com/Sonorous Turtoise for all your gaming needs) relies on these three simple concepts.
        Html is THE BASIS FOR ALL WEBSITES, period.  HTML CREATES ALL LIFE AS WE KNOW IT!!! Okay, not quite but to all those people who spend all their time on their phone or computer scrolling up and down the screen due to boredom, or watching youtube videos no one would ever dream of wanting to watch, it is their life... so in a way it is true I guess. But without Html NO website would be possible.
        Secondly is Javascript. Javascript lets you connect and do commands in a split second, without this email, surveys, etc. wouldn't work, and games would have A LOT of trouble as well as videos. This allows the ability to take a quiz, test, or survey, then see your answers and scores within seconds, not years.
        Next is XHR which most people using the internet have never heard of, yet they use it every day! This allows stuff such as games, maps, and surveys without reloading the page.
        Without these your life would be meaningless (really). 

What Is The Internet...

The internet is something all of us use, often times on a daily basis, the internet connects most computers together into one small space where we can share data, video, games, communication, etc. The internet started as a simple project/experiment made by some researchers in 1974 calling it the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP for short) which connected a couple of computers in the same room allowing them to communicate according to the rules which the Internet Protocol Suite placed to help communicate. The Internet Protocol Suite made rules to which computers would communicate (like the rules of grammar) so computers and their users could communicate in various ways and understand. As this experiment started in one room it later spread to buildings and countries and later became the world wide web as we know it. When people use the internet it is extremely user friendly helping you find anything you want to know on it, yet most people don't think of the equipment used to make the internet usable and faster, such as fiber optic cables, but whether you think of the equipment or the communication of the world wide web, the internet is as big part of life now as we are.

KWL Website Design

I have recently started taking a web design class teaching HTML coding, etc. I want to use this blog both as a learning resource and hopefully help someone else learn through it. I already know very little so far but I have a good start and a good grasp of HTML code. I have started making a website already and have a lot of work to still do on it, but it helps me learn how to write HTML code and the orders and variables. I look forward to this class and want to learn how to do this as well as i can... I have found an easy way to make sure I learn it all is to teach others so I hope this blog will not just help me but anyone trying to do the same kind of thing.
