New site design

July 9th, 2010 -- No Comments

So with me the past few days learning jQuery, I thought I would redesign my site again. This time I have used jQuery in a few places to showcase some of my new things that I have learned. My twitter feed on the right sidebar is being loaded by jQuery. On the bottom of the page you see the link that says back to top, that link when click will slowly slide you back to the top of the page instead of just reloading the whole page. Even after this post I will still be adding more to it.

In the next few days I am hoping to write a tutorial on the basics of jQuery. So keep an eye out for that.

Coding Update

June 10th, 2009 -- No Comments

I thought I would give an update on what is going on with me learning how to code. My resume has been getting beefed up. So now what I comfortably know how to program in is the following:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • PHP

I have tried to learn JavaScript but I am not comfortable to put that on the list. I also have messed with Action Script. I am working on getting Ajax on the list. I can do some minor stuff with it but not yet comfortable with putting that on the list.

After Ajax since that is needed to know for work purposes, I was looking to finish doing Java. I have a fellow church member who codes Java for a living and what he has talked about has gotten me excited to learn that. I would like to learn a GUI programming language so I can make cross platform applications. Well as always if you have some tips or tricks for me to help me on my journey I would love to hear them.

Multiple Programming Languages

June 6th, 2009 -- No Comments

Have you ever had to learn multiple programming languages are once? I am not talking about HTML and CSS at the same time. I am talking about lets say PHP and AJAX. Well I have too and let me tell you it is tuff. Now I do have a grasp on PHP where I am in the advance level. But still it is hard. Now I am really not a fan of the JavaScript language. I cannot understand the concept. I have tried and I have read multiple books but I just cannot get JavaScript. Does anyone have any tips for me? Can someone help me with this task? If can thank you very much.
