Presumably you arrived here using the
lawrenceo.com address and surely you are
more interested in the jokes. This
site has grown from George's Place to a
large collection of jokes and each category
you land on, provides links to the
others. I am working on the sitemap and it
should be up soon. I intend it guide you
through the sites in my collections and some
I have developed for others. Anyway click on
Jokes
and off you go.
Having completed a slew of courses at SMARTPLANET
that explored and instructed using Front
Page 98 and 2000, many of these sites are
the direct result. Modified Themes at BackRoomDesigns
(Angelfire) and Trains
n' Me on Angelfire are the
latest examples.
My best examples of DHTML are within this site without annoying pop-ups or
banners. Freeservers.com hosts the site and
my email. This site attempts to give
examples of my abilities and ideas by
providing some descriptions of myself and my
goals.
Javascript is still my most enthusiastic
challenge and most of the sites
incorporate
what I've learned from earlier courses and
textbook examples. The tutorials at HTML Goodies
and books by Joe Burns Ph.D and from the
courses at SMARTPLANET.
More recently I have begun learning ASP and
completion of VBscript 1 & 2 a few years
ago has helped enormously. Backroomdesigns
on dingojunction.com is dedicated to
exercises and experiments with ASP.
Of Course a few years ago the mere
mention of HTML to most people and of course
myself was like speaking of something
supernatural or magical. It seems now that
if your site isn't XHTML display failures
are to be expected and testing my sites
resulted in some failures. Rather than
abandon them I have begun the task of
bringing them up. Anyway if you encounter
some strange presentations it is only
temporary.
I intend to update George's Place
as regularly as possible if not so much with
new information but with new techniques as I
learn more of Front Page. I do believe,
obviously, things are moving so quickly with
regard to new technology that for me to
maintain the pace is not just damn near
impossible but completely unrealistic.
I mean really, I 'm still learning the
old techniques and hope only to master some
of them!
I kind of know I haven't even scratched
the surface of Front Page as I
continue to discover new
tools almost daily. It won't be boring at
least. George's will be what it never was:
cutting edge and High Tech.
Most amazing for my part has been the
experience of Visual Basic 6.0. It develops
computer programs both for the Web and
desktop applications. I have completed
the introduction in May 2001 and have moved
on to developing some of my own creation. I
am still pursuing VB 6.0 and .net.
