Unit 8

W3schools HTML Tutorial
I can now read (basic) html codes! It seems so intuitive. I never noticed the "View Source" option when right-clicking; now I'm checking all the web sites I normally visit. It's interesting, but I still wouldn't want to do this for a living.

HTML Cheatsheet
Useful resource if I ever decide to create a webpage.

W3 School Cascading Style Sheet Tutorial
This tutorial was actually fun to try out and it makes me want to take a web publishing class. I'm wondering how entirely new values are created. For example, how is a new font incorporated?

Beyond HTML
This article makes me feel better about not being an expert in a specific program. Technology and software are subject to constant updating as new ideas arise. Wherever I end up working, I will require training in the procedures the particular institution utilizes. I would volunteer to be a liaison if the opportunity came up just so I could see the process up close and get a better understanding of how my job is changing.

Unit 7

How Internet Infrastructure Works
Well-written article with illustrations. Explains parts of the Internet network from routers to browsers with clarity.


Dismantling Integrated Library Systems
I wonder how many libraries are experimenting with their software systems and how many are waiting for others to take the lead. It doesn't seem necessary for every single library system to test new products.


Inside the Google Machine
I had no idea Google was working on so many projects. I'm not interested in exploring any of them on my own, but I might be if I hear about it from someone firsthand.

Muddiest Point (from 10/15)

Can routers ever send packets to the wrong destination? In other words, will a packet ever end up on my computer accidentally?
