week 4

Since doing the last couple of assignments I have realized that I have learned quite a bit of web programming knowledge. To be sure, I am by no means advanced in any of the languages we have covered thus far (html, css, and javascript) but it's been quite fun actually learning the basics of each one. I am happy that I now have basic html and css knowledge (i'm working on javascript right now); the idea that I know how to make a basic website and style it on a simple level gives me some amount of pleasure. Perhaps it is the prospect of becoming a more advanced web programmer and one day being able to build aesthetically pleasurable sites that is the most promising part of this whole process of learning new languages. But I understand that I still have a long way to go...

For the second javascript assignment I think I will either do the facebook API or the advanced forms option. Our group is most likely going to try to create an application called "facebook pro," which will hopefully try to feature uploading resumes for editing and sending out to employers on facebook. So this might be a good chance to learn more about the facebook API.
