January 19 Read This Article!I want each of your to read the article listed below. Read it completely, top to bottom. Twice if you have to.
The author sheds light on the current trend sweeping the industry. Web 2.0. He comments on how developers deal with trends that are often blown out of proportion.

January 07 CSS - Master The BackgroundOne of the best looking parts to CSS is how background images work. Through the use of div tags one can specify a different backage with CSS where ever you want. On a web site that I am currently working on (coursecritic.com) I created a div center colum with child divs and a white background. Then with CSS I specifyed my body's background image to be something I had created in PhotoShop. However, that image was then repeated to fit the screen no matter what size the window becomes. Simple, but you can make this so much more elaborate. One could use a fixed size image such is the case with our school's web site. For you next assignment I want each of you to find a web site(s) that utilizes pattern repeats or a fixed size background. You can find out what a web site uses by right clicking on their background with FireFox and click on view image. The image will appear in a new window. If its very small then they use a pattern web site. If it has a fixed size then they use that. While your at it. View the page's source code and see if you could figure out it's layout from just the tags. If you could then your leet!1 January 05 CES and Windows UpdatesFirst, Microsoft released the patch for the WMF threat going around.

read over could some of you think of why using a table structure to design a
web page might lead to problems down the road. Discuss specifically about
how images and text might layout. Also, look at its ability to scale (i.e.
how easy is it to change). January 03 Internet ThreatsTo find information on the lastest Internet threats, check out some of the following sites.
