This morning in XHTML class (CIS 2202) I finished up Chapter 2. I have already learned SO much but I know there is a LOT more to learn. All of my work for this chapter has passed the Validator - sometimes after several corrections were made! One of my assignments was to read code for a web page that was in the book and try to locate the error that would not allow the page to run. I looked very carefully through the entire file and then saw where one line had an opening tag but no closing tag. That was the problem.
In Flash class (CIS 1123) I started on the second Tutorial (chapters are called "Tutorials" in this book) and completed Tutorial 2 Section 1. I had a few hard moments with my project and had to ask for help - once even my teacher was stumped for a little bit though we both thought the problem was a grouping problem, and we were right. One of the other students got us past the problem!! It was great. So, I learned something from the situation.
One of the great things about all THREE of my classes with Mr. Long is that he encourages us to ask questions, help one another, and help "teach" if we know something real well. So far I am in the learning stage only! But Mr. Long did tell me today that I am either right on or ahead of the curve as far as completion of work - so that's good.
I find everything I am learning captivating, and I have a hard time leaving class when it is over: I could just keep working until bedtime, I believe!!
This is AWESOME!! Thank You, Lord, for this WONDERFUL opportunity to learn to do something in an area I REALLY enjoy: computers!!
