Weird Looking: </school>

</school>

I’ll assume you’re reading this via RSS, considering how very broken my web page is at the moment.  I decided to clean up the markup so I could go all CSS Zen Garden on it.  After working on that for a bit, I decided to rewrite everything using Smarty templates.  So right now, roughly half of my web page is converted to templates, half of it is using a stylesheet that no longer applies to the markup, half of it has no stylesheet, and half of it never worked anyway (Archives, I’m looking in your direction).  I’ll have time to put it back together now that school’s over.

I guess I should retract all of the bad things I insinuated about my class.  Any time I get an A, it couldn’t have been all bad.  So, school is over.  I guess after the holidays I’ll have to figure out which way is up.

Congratulations (on both the 'A' and the finishing school).

And I don’t think you should retract the part about the 90’s javascript, unless the course actually taught you some of the features that make javascript a somewhat unique language (object prototypes, closures, expando fields/methods, regular expressions).

The above comment ended up being attached to the wrong post.  I blame PHP-Gnomes.  Anyway, I guess it makes sense here, as well.  (Now where will this comment end up, pray tell?)

I went ahead and moved them over here.  I copied the PHP-Gnomes copied the HTML to make the template and forgot to make part of the form dynamic.

Anywho, thanks!

We didn’t learn anything about javascript, really.  Here are, as best I can recollect, the pertinent questions from our final exam:

Final Exam:

What are the differences between JavaScript and Java?
What are the differences between JavaScript and Java Applet?
What can JavaScript do?  Give 5 examples.
Explain the difference between break and continue.
Write a JavaScript to change images on mouse over.



He asked about break and continue because it came up in class that almost nobody knew the difference.  Kind of like when we had an assignment to read up on Turing because, in our discussion of Turing completeness, nobody knew who he was.  Keeping that in mind, it’s probably best that we didn’t dig much deeper for the sake of my peers.
