Week 9 Readings

This week's readings consisted of learning about XML compared to HTML. All three articles did their best to describe XML's benefits compared to HTML, but I still find that the tutorial helps me grasp these concepts a little better. I must be a hands on person. Actually, I know I am because reading about all the codes and everything continues to boggle my mind... After a couple reads though, I can see how XML is easier, especially for humans to read as their codes seem to make more sense with what they are creating then all the special letters and symbols for the HTML codes... I must admit though... still daunted by these two topics... not very into it this week :(

Hi!! I was thinking of you all week and how FastTrack weekend is almost here! Are you and your husband staying in Pittsburgh all weekend or are you driving back and forth?

How has everything been going with LIS2000? I'm finally starting to get a grasp on how to manage all the readings in that class!

I'm not very into these XML/HTML things either, and I think it's the hands on aspect that we're missing (hopefully!!!!). Maybe things will start to come together for us more when we're building our very own websites?!
