Well.. I was supposed to take a short class for my developer group in a recent project. I thought I’d rather post the topics and some detail of that class here, which can help beginners.

First of all, we are going to learn some keywords and their use:

• HTML – Hyper Text Markup Language.
  • Used to write web pages. Browsers understand this language. You have to talk with web browsers in this language.
• Tags
  • Tags are used to distinguish different elements in a web page. As an example, we’d use the anchor tag (<a>) to define anchor or links.
• CSS – Cascading Style Sheet
  • CSS is used to define style for a web page. We’d learn about CSS in a later session.
• Scripts
  • Scripts are some programming language which helps to interact a web page with user and server. PHP, JavaScript etc. are commonly used scripts in web development.

Now I’m going to explain some rapidly used tags here. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve worked on a website color scheme editor recently. The main idea was to change the colors and banner of a website. The target website was my recent work with my department’s website.

Well…. There are a lot of color scheme editor available on the web, but I tried something different. I wanted to give the complete control to the administrator. But, uff…. It was really tough.

Main things I had to do was

• To select a suitable color picker.
• Then identify the areas the colors should be changed.
• Store the color information.
• Generate the CSS file according to the changes.

Those who are related with web development knows how much pain IE may give. Though Internet Explorer sucks, majority of the general people still uses IE. So, whenever you create a web, you have to check it with IE. Otherwise there might be some bugs which would cause you to lose client or visitor.

There are more pains!! Its not enough to check with only IE6 or IE7. Output may differ!!

I’m using IE7 in my PC and was looking for a way how can I install some previous versions of it. Then I found this amazing article at StylizeWeb about multiple version of IE.

This is an nice software from TredoSoft. You can install different version of IEs. I think IE6 is enough. But you can have some earlier versions if you wish. It doesn’t have IE7 yet. So you can download that from Microsoft’s website and install this software for previous versions. This software doesn’t work on Vista yet. But they are working on it.

Download the latest version of the software from there website: http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE
