Building A Website: The 5 Computer Languages To Learn

By Franklin Skribbit


If you are in college or plan on returning you may have mixed feelings about essay based tests. Sure they do offer you the opportunity to write down all you know rather than being tested on what you don't know like a multiple choice test. However, one annoying part of essays is writing for extended periods of time and the accompanying hand cramps. This article explains how to best avoid cramps during the middle of your test so pay close attention.

XHTML/HTML5 HTML (hypertext markup language) is the backbone of your website. Web documents contain three main sections: the head, the title, and the body. These sections are written in HTML. The head includes the webpage's identifying information. Search Engine's like Google are only capable of reading the HTML of a website. The head section of the webpage is essential if you want your website to show up in Google's results page. The title is what appears in the browser's URL tab and is what your website will be known as throughout the internet. The body is where the content visible to visitors is written. Text and graphics can be adjusted using HTML tags (commands).

1. Find the Right Pen This is going to be very important. The right pen can greatly add to or remove any cramping that you may experience. There are three main criteria that you need to have in mind when purchasing your pen. The first is a wide grip. When a pen has a wider grip your fingers do not have to close down as much, nor do they need to exert the same amount of pressure to hold the pen. The wide grip affords you a much natural hand position.

As the fair gets closer review the list of companies that will be attending and identify the ones that you would like to speak with. Place them in three priority groups; those you must talk with, those you would like to talk with, and those who you will talk with in your extra time. This will save you time at the fair as you know exactly where you are going.

Some examples of comfortable pens may include: EZgrip, Pilot G2s, Pentel Energels, pilot's Dr Grip, UGLee pens, or even purchasing add on grips to your normal pen. Shop around and find what you prefer.

The cascading part is what makes the language so valuable. Rather than having to rewrite the same style sheet for each page of your website. The style you choose 'cascades' down throughout all of your webpages. You can then make adjustments to the design of individual webpages if you would like but you don't have to repeat the process of writing the CSS for each page. Make sure to learn HTML before CSS so you have something to build off (literally).

2. Learn How to Hold it I am not referring to the exact finger position that you hold your pen in, people seem to get along fine in different ways. The important part of your grip is the pressure. This includes both the pressure of our fingers on the pen and the pressure of the pen on the paper. Make sure to hold the pen in a loose grip while you write. Practice holding the pen loosely, almost to the point where it will fall from your hand. The less pressure your fingers place on the pen the less stress the tendons of your hand will be. Next make sure that you press lightly on the paper. Having the smooth pen as mentioned previously helps with this. If you take a pen in a loose grip and press hard on the paper with it your fingers will slip. To make up for this you end up tightening your grip and then we are back to the original problem. So make sure not only to have a loose grip but to press lightly on the paper. Stressing your hand less means less cramping.

Java & PHP I am lumping these two languages together because they are the key languages for dynamic web pages and are interchangeable at times (you can use either one to get very similar effects). Dynamic web pages include things like games, chat abilities, image viewing, interactive apps or advertisements. Java was originally developed for software and in-browser applets and has become a key infrastructure for web apps. Java shares many similarities to C++ (which can be a nice benefit if want to learn different languages in the future). Java allows the same program to be executed on different operating systems. No need to fear if a Mac, Linux, or Microsoft user makes their way to your website. Java contains build in support and is easy to use.

1. Stretch Before you being to write and during the test there are a number of different stretches that you can do to reduce the cramping in your hand. One set of exercises you can do is as follows: -Hold out your arm in front of you with your palm facing down. Lift up wrist while letting your fingers dangle downward. -Next reverse the motion by pressing your wrist downward and stretching up your fingers -Relax your hand and slowly open and close it fully. -If necessary repeat the motions.

Listen to each person you speak with even if you are not interested. Don't burn bridges before they are even built. Perhaps one of these contacts will be useful in the future as you look for other jobs. Take notes of what the individuals talk about.

Every ten minutes or so, stop and look at your hand. If you are gripping to tightly drop the pen. If you need to stretch a little bit and then pick up the pen making sure that you are holding it correctly If you catch yourself holding the pen tightly, drop it, stretch if necessary and then begin again.

Databases can range from small shopping lists to a huge picture gallery with mountains of information. Computers using a MySQL server can easily manage the large amounts of data. The language itself is very fast and reliable preventing any worries you may have of losing the data in the system.

After Your Test 1. Stretch Again Just like exercise most long term problem develop during the resting period. Make sure that you stretch the following day and maybe every day to prevent any cramping in the future. Other than that relax and celebrate, you just wrote a great essay!

Hopefully this article answered some of the questions you may have had and gets you on your way to being a first class programmer and web developer. You can choose to learn these different languages on your own (there are tons of tutorials scattered throughout the web. However if you prefer the classroom or hope to make this a future career you will want to of find a degree like Computer Programming (AAS) where they will teach you these skills and hand you a diploma.
