Linda's Web Technologies

I've followed all the instructions from http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html and I've a blog set up, that has a form, allows a user to create a post, comment, edit, add tags, has some security to protect who can post,and edit, delete etc.  Only problem is that when I click delete post, I get the expected message "are you sure?" with the option to continue...

I've got everything to work..... Rails is up and running, the server seems to be behaving himself, I've created two web pages that link to each other, and on one of the web pages I've embedded some ruby that does some nifty stuff like tell us what time it is now, list all the documents in a directory, do some simple calculations, tell us what time it will be from an hour from...

I watched Wesley install a new Rails app and thought, Wow that doesn't look so hard.  I set about setting up my own application and it seemed to be going swimmingly despite a small sqlite3.dll missing glitch.  I soon rectified that by downloading the missing dll and putting it in the bin directory of my Ruby 192 applicatio...

So if you've read my previous post (Server Side Project) I think you'll agree that this project doesn't look half so terrifying.  Although I'm in danger of eating my words, as we haven't had so much of a sniff at Javascripting yet!  So far we've looked at HTML and CSS, and I've felt confident in my abilities to keep up with the lectures.  By the way the image...

So here it is the first project - As I work in theatre, and my job is to sell tickets, I'm thinking that this might be a good product to base my project on.  I've had a fair bit of experience working with various box office systems as a user, and I'm hoping that real-world experience will help me to imagine realistic requirements without too much difficulty,...

I've taken the plunge and gone back to college.  I'm going to document my progress with my very first steps at learning to program.  The Course is Web Technologies. It conists of Client Side (html, css, javascript), Introduction to Web Technologies (a general overview and some SQL), and Server Side (Ruby, Rails).  Server Side is terrifying, and exciting in...
