Sometimes the grass just isn’t greener on the other side. I think last week I had said that it would be interesting to learn HTML. I have changed my mind. After a great deal of thinking (and reading the XML article), I have to laugh. I mean, I took 5 years of Spanish in school and all I can remember is Donde esta el bano? and Me gusta el pollo. (For all non-Spanish takers they are where’s the bathroom and I like chicken) I think I still remember the alphabet as well. What my point is, though, is if I didn’t learn that language in 5 years, what in the world makes me think I would remotely come close to learning this in two weeks!?!?! Once again, I give loads of credit to the tech guys, but I’ll leave them to their jobs and I guess I’ll just keep mine.
Then I got to the next article and I have to wonder…how many things can start with X-something? It kind of reminds me of Google-this and i-that. I still have the same opinion as I did when I read the previous article, though. This isn’t a language I’m understanding anytime soon…
Before you continue you should have a basic understanding of the following: HTML / XHTML, XML and XML Namespaces, and A basic understanding of DTD. Are you kidding? I think I only know what one of those even means! But I will trek on… Yeah…no. I think I am going to have a serious struggle with this next assignment.

I feel the exact same way about this assignment - I'm kind of worried about how well my page will turn out. Maybe once we start doing some hands on stuff it will become easier to distinguish some of the lingo.
Hopefully he'll clear up some of this stuff on campus this week, or in class if you are not a FastTrack student.
AMEN! I'm glad I'm not the only one having tons of trouble understanding this stuff.
