need referral for a quick primer

Post #79,461 by lincoln 2/5/03 9:28:42 AM Reply	need referral for a quick primer As I posted in the "Jobs" forum ([link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=79394\|post]), I'm requesting critiques, comments and advice on how to improve it. I presume that there's a better way to produce the document instead of using MS Word 97...perhaps use a plain text editor and insert the HTML tags myself? If so, can someone point me to a a URL that would be a good and fast primer? A book would make sense, but right now time is of the essence so a "Cliff's Notes" version would be best. I put this here because learning HTML qualifies as a "programming" language to some degree, in my opinion. lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig"

Not that they are high quality but I have some crib notes for [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/tx4/cus/notes/html.html\|HTML] and [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/tx4/cus/notes/dhtml.html\|DHTML]. Best way to learn is just create a text file from scratch with the minimum of elements required and start plugging away.

Or better yet, don't, and grab a copy of Mozilla and use Mozilla's built in HTML editor and that may work better for you.

Post #79,631 by orion 2/5/03 5:31:23 PM Reply	You know I once had an idea of that MYASSNEEDSAJOB.COM website I was going to create that would have the job seekers enter their resume stuff into a database and then pick a template to display their resume data, including the fonts to use, etc and then the website could create a resume in any format, using any font, and in any order. I was also going to make an optional PDF or Word or RTF document creation if the customer paid for a subscription. I wonder if a VB program that could do the same thing, but for your resume, would be worth something to buy? Say like $15 to $30 for a registration code, and it can create resumes in HTML, RTF, Word, and PDF format? It can use professional templates to get the resume listed in the right order and all the data is listed in the database and you can have multiple resumes in it? Would that be a marketable idea?

You want to change a bunch of those to br tags. Other tip - remove all the meta stuff in the head section. It doesn't help any and its just MS Advertising. I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customer got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more. --Alan Perlis
