Week 8 Readings

Well, this was interesting reading.
I had just taken a web building class offered by another employee at work.
We just went through a couple of steps, as it was only an hour class.
So I actually knew steps 1 thru about 4.
As web pages go, I can leave them alone.
Once I am done with this school and have some time to find my way around this type of technology, I might be able to actually use and learn it.
Thank goodness for the cheat sheet! I was hoping that there was something written down so you would know what to do w/out having to go back to a specific website and keep looking up the various commands.
I didn't know anything about the Cascading Style Sheets that article 3 discussed.

Beyond HTML: Developing and re-imagining library web guides.
While reading this article, I was wondering if I would actually have to design a web page, or if I would just have to download the information collected like some of the Georgia State University Librarians. It was reassuring to read that you didn't have to have HTML skills to be involved in this project. You just had to have your content together and get it changed over to the new Content Management System. This system sounded like a good fit for this school. They needed help managing, organizing and cleaning up all their information.
Their customizing and tagging content seemed to work well for them. CMS is easier to use than Front Page of Dreamweaver, whatever they are. Haven't heard of those programs.
They did mention that more training would be needed to keep all the librarians, web developers, and web programmers on the same page. It is Always a good idea to Train people on any new program; as we've been discussing in LIS 2000.
Hopefully I won't have to delve into this programming anytime soon, but it is good to know that I can do it if I have to.

Muddiest Point: I know it was a long time ago, but MySQL??? What is it and why is it important? Can it only be used with Open Source?
