Some of the key points that I noted down from the reading that chapter included
Webmaster in a Nutshell Chapter One
This weeks readings are going to be including-A Web Browser works by connecting over the Internet to remote machines, requesting specific documents, and then formatting the documents they recieve for viewing on the local machine. (Examples of browsers: Netscape, Mozilla, Internet Explorer)
-The format for a URL(Uniform Resource Locators) is http://host/path and scheme://host/path/extra-path-info?query-info
-The top web document formats are HTML(Hypertext Markup Language), CSS(Cascading Style Sheet), or XML(Extensible Markup Language)
- A Webmaster is a person who works on the content end of the web. This title can then be divided between four different groups:
-Content Provider: Work on the data itself creating or editing HTML documents, incorporating images and forms, and maintaining the links.
-Designers: Create the images and also define the "look" of the site.
-Programmers: Write CGI, Java, JavaScript, and other programs to incorporate the website.
-Administrators: Manage the server, establishing new content development areas, writing new scripts, and maintaining security of sensitive documents and of the general site
Webmaster in a Nutshell Chapter Two
Some of my notes that I highlighted while reading chapter 2 included the following:
This week's in class exercises is going to involve setting up your index page and your external master css for your course and introducing events that trigger JavaScript functions.-An HTML document consists of text, which comprises the context of the document, and tags, which define the structure and appearance of the document.
Event Handlers: Script that reacts to a certain action such as a mouse cursor rolling over something, clicking on a link, leaving a page, etc.-HTML can be used to invoke JavaScript functions to use specific even handlers.
I have a preference to XHTML however, there are a lot of debates and discussions about XHTML vs HTML. Here are some selected readings on the topic for those who are interested in the pros and cons of each.
* HTML vs. XHTML on standards compliant websites (Roger Johansson, 19 June 2006)
* HTML or XHTML? (Robert Nyman, 2 November 2005)
Some of my lecture time on Monday December 10 is going to be on XHTML and CSS

Prof. H,
Here's a quick link to my webpage. The w3C schools really helped alot. I was able to understand the tutorials quickly and easily to put this together. Thanks for the link!
Hello professor,
Good links to know about XHTML..got to know how XHTML plays a vital role when more and more XML tools become available..Got a clear picture of some of the advantages of using XHTML.
Hello professor,

Got to know few things after reading chapter 2.Like dynamic loading ,Event handlers.Wanted to know more about DOM refrences to javascripts.
I totally agree with Robert Nyman's rational. The old adage, if you are going to do something, do it right. Hence, Strict is the only way to go for two reasons. Compliance enables the code to exist for a longer period of time without fear of deprecation. Secondly, compliance also enables cross platform compatibility. Another reason to update to XHTML is to stay current. If one wants to portray a good image either personally or in business, especially in the technology field, it is imperative to stay up-to-date if not on the cutting or bleeding edge depending upon your loss/leader philosophy.
well what is the advantage of having strict rules in scripting?? answer is obvious,One of the good example is python language. It is one of the strongly typed interpreted language where indentation is a must.. such type of strict rules have made python popular.As all data are now stored and collected in XMl , XHTML is vital.I clearly go with the author viewpoint.
