Our new project revolves around Web Authoring. I have had a little experince in writing HTML from a while back. I have only really dealt with simple HTML and CSS, but admiteddly I have forgtten pretty much everything I learnt.
To restablish old knowledge and learn new skills, we will be undertaking an investigation. We have been given a range of phrases to look into. However, a lot of the explanations and context of each key elemtn of web authoring requires a background knowledge into something else, for instance if you want to understand DHTML, you need to research HTML, Java Script, CSS and COM.
I am really interested in this subject, and finding out how elements tags and codes work to develop whatwe see on screen. While we will be using Adobe Dreamweaver to design our websites, this investigation will hopefully give me the confidence to work well with actual coding again.
Understanding this principle of how a computer actually works is fundamental to all Creative Media we undertake. Every programme we use has been written in a prgogramming langauge which itself is used to translate machine code. An appreciation for the way we can prgoramme our own websites will give us a better relationship with technology as a whole and simple principles can be carried over to other langauges and applications e.g. "Apps" and GUIs (Graphic User Interfaces) etc.
