Dreamweaver Class info and 4/23/08 TIME CHANGE

Hey folks! I don't believe we are starting at 4 on the 23rd - think it will be 5:30 sans workshop, fyi. I am putting this on the blog for now but it needs to go onto the Wikispace as well. I have no idea when I'll get around to doing this but, for now:

Couple of updates: wanted to give you these URLs I went over at the workshop by request:

http://www.tinyurl.com (makes URL addresses much shorter and is free to use)

Sizzling Jalfrezi (HTML by example) for everything you could want to know on html code:

Lastly (to answer questions I couldn't answer on the 16th):

(From http://www.informit.com/guides/content.aspx?g=xml&seqNum=217):

What's the difference between XML and HTML?

Last updated Jan 1, 2004.

On the surface, XML and HTML look similar. Both use tags (such as
or ) and attributes (such as
align="left" or type="personal") to add information to the content. In
fact, a carefully prepared HTML document can double as an XML
document. The difference is that HTML is a well-defined set of
elements and attributes. For example, the following is a well-formed
XML document, but because it only uses tags that are defined in HTML,
it's also an HTML document:
Message of the Day


On the other hand, HTML has somewhat looser rules than XML, so some
HTML documents are not well-formed XML documents. (See the next
section.)

What is php? (from
http://forums.hostrocket.com/archive/index.php/t-3109.html):
HP is a scripting language you can use on your "html" pages. Using the
"php" extension on a file tells the server to look for php code in the
file. So, if you want to use php, you have to have it end in .php (or
a few other options). If you have no php code on the page there is no
need to use .php on that page, but it doesn't really hurt anything if
you do. Only possible thing I can think of is that the server might
take a little more work because it's looking for something that's not
there. :)
