Programming update

[supamario00]

So I have been doing a week long Comp Sci study at KU and I will be looking to hone my skills on something.

We have covered

HTML
--most of the basic attributes

--bringing in CSS and JScript

--most of the basic tags needed

CSS
--inline, area wide, and document wide styling

--background imaging

--the three forms of writing in color (RGB, Color name, ID number)

JScript
--basic loops (for, while)

--basic properties for user input (document.getElementById/textarea stuffs)

--basic structure and order of code

We also learned Binary and the basics of all the above languages.

4 weeks of college courses condensed into one, which will end in us designing a group webpage.

If you want to track my progress or comment on my code use the following link:

Thanks Guys

EDIT: Fixed

We are starting the final project for tonight. I'm in charge of topic overview, here goes nothing.

also, web programming can be frustrating at times. You'll find that Internet Explorer sucks big time when it comes to JS programming because it is nitpicky on how you program something. Firefox, Chrome, Safari will have no issues with it.

If you're planning on going into the comp sci world, you should really get to know a good multi-use text editor. I've started using one called emacs and I like it quite a bit. If you have any programming questions, this would be a good forum to ask them in. I'm entering my final year of college with quite a bit of real-world job and Agile development experience, Tim created Pwnboxer so he knows quite a bit himself, along with other peoples on the forum.

When I do html I use notepad++

I took a java programming class in college a few years back and we heavily relied on a programming centric editor called textpad primarily because it has the ability to integrate with various language interpreters and compilers or in our case the java jdk. definitely worth checking out.

Will you be learning php and mysql at some point?

[supamario00]

We used notepad++ for everything. PHP and MySQL are next on the list. or at least MySQL is I don't know anything about PHP other than the fact that it is used alot.

so far so good! two quick things though for future reference.

1) you didn't account for what I call "stupid input". What happens if you input a number over 100? It's still an A, but that's only if there is extra credit. (Something very hard to come by in college, heh)

2) Your if statement is fine, but for more cases, you might want to use a switch. This is what one would look like in your case, it does use more lines, but it's more "correct". Note the switch(true), though, it should be switch(score), but Javascript didn't like that.

<script type="text/javascript">
score = someScore;

switch(true) {
    case(score >= 90 && score <= 100):
        alert("Your grade is: A");
        break;
    case(score >= 80 && score <= 89):
        alert("Your grade is: B");
	break;
    case(score >= 70 && score <= 79):
	alert("Your grade is: C");
	break;
    case(score >= 60 && score <= 69):
	alert("Your grade is: D");
        break;
    case(score >= 0):
        alert("Your grade is: F");
        break;
    default: //something above 100 or below 0
	alert("Invalid grade entry");
	break;
}
</script>

If you have any programming questions, feel free to ask here or Skype me, I believe you have me on there.

Cheers!


EDIT: Made a minor change to my code. Thats what happens when you work 7-8 hours staring at a computer screen and programming XD

EDIT 2: PHP can be tricky at times. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about that as well

Thats awsome. Didn't check them all out yet, but day 1 i did. Neat stuff!
