Unit 9 Reading Resonse

Intro to Extensible Markup Language (XML)

• how are XML & HTML different? I see that XML is not a "redefined set of tags" , so is XML pure code?
• I don't understand what a compound document is
• So XML doesn't "make" info, it just "reads" it and translates it across the board?
• what is the difference between language and code?
• I don't understand what XML is or what it does.

A Survey of XML Standards and XML Schema Tutorial

I do not understand XML at all. in the first article, Intro to Extensible Markup Language, I didn't understand what it was, but I felt like I was on the cusp of doing so. But with the second two readings, I was at a complete loss. I don't understand how its different to HTML. I'm just lost in general as to what exactly it is and what it does.

Week 8 Muddiest Point

• How are CSS commands different than HTML code? It seems like they perform the same function.
• Is it possible for assignment #6, our final assignment, to be due later since we have no other assignments after it?

Week 8 Reading Responses

HTML tutorial

• This was really neat! When I first saw the initial web page for it, I was intimidated, but once I tried the first example, I became excited at the thought that this is something I can do!
• It's interesting that a few dozen words/symbols can create a brand new page.
• The tutorial was comprehensive, I feel like it provided the tools to create a page for someone who doesn't know what they're doing.
• Why for an abbreviation or acronym title wouldn't you just type in the actual acronym or abbreviation rather than "coding" it in?

WebMonkey HTML cheat sheet

• I wouldn't use this, I'd refer back to the tutorial for help. I liked the examples that it provided.
• I'm not comfortable with the page creating process to use this cheat sheet.

CSS Tutorial

• would've liked more visual examples for CSS, like the HTML tutorial had
• I don't understand how it's different than HTML, it seems like an add on to me.

Week 7 Muddiest Point

• slide 22: what happened Jan 2007 to the Internet Domain Survey Host Count?
• I'm surprised some European countries and Australia havae/show significantly less Internet usage; why is that? A population difference?
• How much involvement does the government have with the World Wide Web Consotrium and Internet2?

Week 7 Reading Responses

How Internet Infrastructure Works

• If every machine has a unique identifying number, why can't people who commit crimes on/through the internet NOT be found?
• DNS - so it's a database that assists the internet, not an actual part of the internet? That it was called a DNS server and a distributed database confuses me. Is it a part of the internet or a machine that serves it?

Dismantling Integrated Library Systems

• The article says that creating a completely new ILS is unrealistic, but I'm not convinced that it is. Couldn't a prototype be built and tested in a test enviroment so as not to disable an active libraries system? Or just one section of a libraries inventory be phased into the new system so as to minimize potential disruptions? I suppose though if it's a financial issue, than I could be convinced that it's unrealistic.
