Bloggers must learn HTML

March 8, 2008

Many bloggers use one or more wordpress or blogspot for writing their blogs. However, the versatality of your blog will be limited if you are not familiar with HTML. If you are a blogger and unfamiliar with HTML it is time to learn it.

What is an HTML

* HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
* An HTML file is a text file containing markup tags
* The markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the page – it formats bolds, italics, underline, link, images, tables
* An HTML file has an htm or html file extension
* An HTML file file can be viewed locally on your browser

How to learn it

Besides several books available, you can learn it online at HTML Tutorial

Javascript – What it is and how to learn it

March 8, 2008

Javascript is a compact, object-based scripting language. It can provide interactive web pages, validate form data, and make your web page clearer. It is an easy-to-use programming language that can be embedded within your web pages.

Are Java and JavaScript the Same?

NO! They are not

Java and JavaScript are two completely different languages in both concept and design!

How to learn Javascript

You should get some nice books. Here is a list of books that I recommend

- “Javascript the definitive guide” by David Flanagan
- “Javascript Bible” by Danny Goodman and Micheal Morrison
- “Professional JavaScript for Web Developers” by Nicholas C. Zakas (comes highly recommended)

If you would like to learn it free, you can go to Javascript Tutorial and learn it free. The online version provides you ability to practice it online.
