This week’s readings were just what I was waiting for. While I’m not aiming to become a Javascript guru, I wanted to at least have some basic idea about it. Chapter 14 was a bit difficult to get through at first and did have some questions I was going to put up here, but at the end I did manage to understand it. I still have a bit of disconnect between the definition of HTML objects given in the book. Maybe I just need it explained in different words?
Chapter 13 was also interesting to read. I never really realized that AdSense is pretty customizable or that Amazon Associates can be that non-intrusive. Before reading the chapter I wouldn’t have bothered with putting ads on a site. Now I’m more open to the idea. On a somewhat amusing note, when I finished with the section on PayPal, they sent me an e-mail stating that they were about to close my account.
Lesson 7 sites I liked:
http://www.rsub.com/typographic/ – I liked this site. Informative without being overwhelming, plus it looks good and is easy to navigate.
http://ilovetypography.com/ – I Love Typography is another good resource. A bit more detailed than the previous site.
