CSS Layout Version of W3Schools.com
Its been my practice every time I stumble on a website to check if the design especially the layout is in CSS. One morning around 1am I was looking for some tutorials when I landed at W3Schools. Although CSS controls much of the presentation, it still uses tables for laying out their columns. Not concerned what time it was I decided to strip those table tags and overhaul it with CSS. Here’s the W3Schools CSS Version in case you’re eager to check out the final result. Read more
My Linux Switch
My goodness! It’s been two weeks since my last post! I’ve been busy with a lot of things after I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu (actually this is my second go for Ubuntu). And this time it’ll be for the better although I still have Windows installed in case of emergency.
I’ve been hesitant to make the big switch because most of us have been using Windows from the beginning but after reading “why linux is better” everything just made a lot of sense. Its really hard to ignore the facts surrounding Windows on how it was developed and supported.
One of the things I liked in Ubuntu was the easy installation of Apache, MySQL and PHP also known as the LAMP installation. Just fire up the terminal(command line) and enter these commands…
- Install Apache “sudo apt-get install apache2″
- Install PHP5 “sudo apt-get install php5-common php5 libapache2-mod-php5″
- Install MySQL “sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client”
- Use MySQL with PHP “sudo apt-get install php5-mysql”
- Install PHPMyAdmin “sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin”
At first the big switch is going to be difficult. I suggest you keep your Windows installation along with Ubuntu. You can always refer to the Ubuntu community for help.
