This week we are creating our webpages for our course project. We have to turn in 2-3 by this Sunday. For my page, I have been learning a lot about positioning, floating and block display.  Below is a shot of part of the top of my page. I have used section and aside tags to arrange my page. I couldn't get the text in the headers to be fancy enough for my satisfaction so I made them in Word and used the img tag. Please note these are just snippets and not the full web page.                         The next photo shows the bottom half of one of my pages. As you can see I have lots of images to support the magazine article.  At the very bottom of my page I have created a navigation bar for the user to easily move forward through the website.  It will be a busy weekend of continuing web development for me. More to come!

This week we were tasked with taking last week's conceptual web diagram and creating a page layout and navigation diagram. This diagram has to show the placeholder elements and the navigation elements that we intend to use. Last weeks' assignment was helpful in allowing me to organize my ideas for my website. This assignment is even more helpful to organize it. My webpage seems to be shaping up quite nicely.  My diagram below shows all the html pages that I plan on designing and constructing in the next few weeks. I have taken each page and designated the header which will hold the h1 tag to contain my text. The body element will hold a table of contents on the home page which will also contain links to any of the e-zine pages. The other pages will contain articles and images as the content of their bodies. The body will use an h2 tag to create the subheader. The footers will be quite important for containing copyright information and holding navigation tabs. I plan on having...

Course: NETW202 - Introduction to Networking It’s important to understand the difference between a binary number system and a decimal number system because IPv4 addresses are made up of 32-bits. Bits are written in binary but are converted into decimal notation for easier readability (Academy, C.N., 2017). No one wants to read a bunch of 0’s and 1’s. The decimal system is a sequence of 10 digits ranging from 0 to 9. Because the decimal system is made up of a sequence of 10 numbers, its base is 10. This is important because the base number becomes your radix, or the number upon which you apply an exponent to get the positional value. The position in the decimal number sequence becomes the exponent which you use to identify the result – the positional value. As stated in several earlier posts, binary is made up of the numbers 0 and 1. Because it is only made up of 2 numbers, its base is 2. So 2 is your radix. A bit has 8 digits of 0’s or 1’s, so the sequence position ranges f...

Welcome to my blog! The purpose of this blog is to capture the learning process as I work my way through some of my courses at DeVry University. I am currently a Junior majoring in Computer Information Systems: Information System Security. Please enjoy reading about my course projects as I add onto them week by week. I welcome your feedback! Enjoy!
