Oh yeah

Having a further look at code. Well iv seemed to grasp the idea of using "div" tags, which is great for layouts. I was fairly disapointed to find out that dreamweaver is now very dependant on your coding capability. I have made a website in the past, paid domain and all, and essentially built it through dreamweaver using tables and such. I thought this was still possible but apparantly thats not the case. So the bottom line here is that i will have to become some what fluent with code to write websites. Damn.
On to the lecture, im sorry Michael, but i know of no student who commits, or even can commit 40 hours a week to uni work. The reality is we work paid jobs, as well as do full time study to keep ourselves sustained and so could never commit ourselves to the suggested amount of study time. Anyway i do try an learn all the same. API's! Application Programming Interface. Well i sort of understand how they apply to web sites. As i understand they are HTTP send and recieve messages that act on each other to keep a more cohesive or interactive site. So using XML new applications can be interfaced with existing platforms fairly cohesively. Also known as mashups i believe. I may be way out.
