Week 9 Notes
XML
XML is part of the Standard Generalized Markup Language. It is designed to make it easy to interchange documents over the Internet.
XML lets users: bring files together to form compound documents, identify where illustrations are to be placed into text files, provide processing control information to supporting programs
and add editorial comments to a file.
XML is different from HTML because it does not have a preset group of tags. There is no standard template associated with XML. It is defined by the user.
Developer works
This article once again define XML but in greater detail. The suggested tutorials are links that I plan on going back to try.
Extending you Mark-up
This article on XML talked and explained why XML is user friendly, more so than other predecessors.
XML Schema Tutorial
This was one of the most helpful articles. This tutorial helped link together what I have learned in the past about HTML with the new information on XML.

Week 8 Notes
W3schools HTML Tutorial
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. Wow! I actually created a homepage. This is a great article/tutorial. I have bookmarked it because I'm sure that I'll refer to it again. I liked how your could change the examples and see the result right away. I also thought it interesting that a lot of the information on the "Background" and "color" pages related to what we have learned in previous weeks
WebmonkeyHTML Cheatsheet
I found this web page very useful, despite the negative discussion. I played around with some of the codes and they worked well. I appreciated the simpleness of the list and the clear print. I was able to change font size and make a numbered list so far.
W3School - Css Tutorial
CSS = Cascading Style Sheets. This was a good tutorial to look at now. Even though I need to work with the simple HTML process a little more before I can employ these strategies, if I had not read it now, I would get very frustrated before I discovered it. Looking at the examples, you can clearly see the benefits of using this method. Again, using the "edit the example" really aided my understanding.
Beyond HTML: Developing and re-imagining library web guides in a content management system.
Content management (CM) can be defined as the process of collecting, managing and
publishing content. The use of HTML & CSS could be very difficult for come librarians considering that their interests and abilities may not lie in computer language. CMS technology aims to eliminate this problem and level the playing field. ASP - generated templates could become very helpful. It was very interesting reading about the developmental process. Things didn't just happen. In the end it seems that process was successful and that future training will continue.

Week 7 Notes
How Internet Infrastructure Works
I've had to find my computer's IP address before when working to install a new router. It's always interesting to learn what I was actually doing. Domain name servers, Network access points, Backbones, and Routers are all needed to do what we do every day on the computer. I did not know that backbones were fiber optic cables made into trunk lines. URL information was also very interesting: 1st level domain name (.com, .net, .edu, .gov) 2nd level (Yahoo, Pitt, etc) left most word is the host name(WWW)
Dismantling Integrated Library Systems
I don't really understand why we have to fix something that essentially works. At least it seems to be working at my public library. It's kind of like changing from Windows XP to Windows VISTA...I hate it! What works best is what you already know...updating just to update wastes a lot of time.
Inside the Google machine
I had never heard Larry and Sergei speak before. I knew some of what they said through various reports, but hadn't heard of their 20% policy. GenTech has the same 20% policy and was named the #1 place to work in the USA a year or two ago.

Week 6 Muddiest Point
Within all of the networks where do satellite connections come in? Do they effect more than one area? How can these be secure?
