I just finished the Learning Proposal.

I had learnt IT in UTS for one and half year. I had learnt many programming languages and scripting languagesl, such as HTML, CSS, PHP,JavaScript, Jsp, Java, C#, VB and so on. And also database, I had learnt how to use MySql.Since building a website is very popular in Australia, build a website can be a good business to start the career.

I want to build a website to run my personal business. This website introduces myself and my business. My business is to help people or some small shops to build their website.

In this assignment, I would like to develop my skills and the understand of the process to build a website. Specific, I would want to learn PHP,XHTML,JavaScript,CSS and MySql to build the website.
I would like to build a personal business website. This website is to ntroduce me and the business. My website is for some companies who want to build their websites. And they don't want to spend lots of money and do not have too much requirement. I would like to use XHTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP and MySql to do their website. I also use these technologies to build my personal website. Because my website is the best evidence to let the client know what I can do for their website.

week4 practical

When I just open the "week4practical.php" in firefox browser. But nothing happened.
When I uploaded to uts "public_html", and open it.

It showed the time "The date is: 24 03 2009 18:49:20 ".

In my opinion, I think that is in the local machine. It have not install php, so the local web browser can not complie the php file.

But in UTS web server, it had installed php. So the php works.

To turn the date into this format: "Monday 15th 2005 , 03:03:11 pm "

We need to put the date into the format below:
$today = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm

the range of the function available is between <% %>!

I create a account in webhost000.com they use phpMyAdmin to operate the database.

What is XHTML

This is the idea of XHTML:

The Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, or XHTML, is a markup language that has the same depth of expression as HTML, but also conforms to XML syntax.

While HTML prior to HTML5 was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a very flexible markup language, XHTML is an application of XML, a more restrictive subset of SGML. Because they need to be well-formed, true XHTML documents allow for automated processing to be performed using standard XML tools—unlike HTML, which requires a relatively complex, lenient, and generally custom parser. XHTML can be thought of as the intersection of HTML and XML in many respects, since it is a reformulation of HTML in XML. XHTML 1.0 became a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation on January 26, 2000. XHTML 1.1 became a W3C Recommendation on May 31, 2001

We can learn more about XHTML in wikipedia

Learning HTML

A week ago, I learnt some HTML technologies.

"
HTML, an initialism of HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for Web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document—by denoting certain text as links, headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on—and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects. HTML is written in the form of tags, surrounded by angle brackets. HTML can also describe, to some degree, the appearance and semantics of a document, and can include embedded scripting language code (such as JavaScript) which can affect the behavior of Web browsers and other HTML processors.
"
This is from Wekipedia.

Also , I know all the histroy, tags(most of them) in HTML.
