sometimes i feel i live in this sad reality, so i have to scape to my own dreams, and be happy there…
ruby!
It’s, basically, just like Python, but easier. It has many of the terms and values that Python holds but its written differently, and, honestly, its more cleaner, no need for the extra things like Python.
First, Ruby consists of:
- Strings - which is the “List” version of Python, but in Ruby, and its surrounded by quotation marks (ex. “string” )
- Integers - whole numbers (ex. 2)
- Floats - decimals (ex. 4.7)
- Array - it uses —> [] to hold its valuable (ex. [“string”]
- Hash - uses —> {} to hold its valuable (ex. { :array => “string”}
- :WORD - the colon before the term “word” stands for symbol- meaning ‘word’ is a symbol.
Oh, so now its CSS you want to learn a bit? Okay, okay.
CSS is, actually, pretty much on the same difficulty level as HTML, well, it was a bit confusing for me at first. As Derek said “CSS is a cascading style sheet”, which then I found on Google, and noticed he was just merely quoting, but still, what he said is true. CSS pretty much makes things a bit more easier, really, by using the tag “class” and “id”.
- ID = is a tag used for something unique, something more to just the use of one particular item, not multiple with just one ID.
- Class = unlike “id”, class is used more to express more than just one item in particular, but more than a couple- I’d say there are innumerable things class can express.
CSS helps with the making of the artistic side of your webpage/code.
oh, i heard you wanted to know html…
Well, I’ll give you a few terms and whatnot, so you can be already on your way through html coding!
First, in order to begin an html code, you always need to write this:
- <html> <—on the very top
- </html> <—on the very bottom
^This tag must always be on the html code in order for the computer to know what you want it in. Another useful tag to get you started is:
- <head> , </head>
^Inside this tag, you could put this tag:
- <title>, </title>
^What this tag does is it gives a title to the tab you’re in. Notice how right now, in tumblr, this post, you see “Tumblr” (followed by something else) ? Well, the title tag is what allows for the tab to have a name.
AHH! Teens for Tech Conference
Personally, my idea of like a conference, was pretty boring. When I heard we’d be going to this “Teens for Tech Conference”, the word ‘geeks’ and ‘nerds’ came up. I wish I were kidding but, this is a blog, and I do have the right to state my opinion.
^This was what I thought UNTIL Saturday.
I swear, I’ve never been more awake in there than in class at school. Seriously. I was like not worried about my phone, or the person sitting next to me, or if Mark was taking pictures of us- not at all. I was paying close attention, trying to grasp everything that the speakers said because it was that interesting! It grabbed my attention, and pulled me into this hypnotized mode, where I would just listen and thats it. It made me think of what I could accomplish in the different categories of web designing and computer programming in just a couple of years, or even right now!
The crazy thing was that some of the speakers where sitting right in front of me! People that flew from across the U.S (or nearby, e.g. Los Angeles, etc.) to come to a conference to give speeches of people, with such inspiration.
It surprised me that we had interesting prize giveaways because people got a lot of free stuff! Free stuff such as speakers, USB Drives, Mics, giftcards, laptops, and more!
It was really, really fun!
