Surrealism (Unfinished)



    This piece still needs a lot of work including activating the areas left empty and fixing the shadows of  the statue. Additionally, I plan to tone down the lowlights and shadows, add tracks for the elephants, and impose a graphic, such as a compass, in the sky.

TOO MANY GIFS

This has been a site I've been working on for a awhile now called TOO MANY GIFS. As a site comprised entirely of gifs, I made this site using HTML, CSS, and PHP. It features a full contact page with a Thanks page and confirmation email.
Enjoy.

JavaScript!

     I now feel I have a firm grasp on HTML and CSS so I'm now looking into learning the basics of JavaScript in order to better animate my websites and polish them further. Although I realize I've only scratched the surface of both HTML and CSS, my plan is to go further into web design knowing the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and maybe even Jquery. Luckily, JavaScript is a lot like an objective based language which should make it an easy learn coming from a C/C++ background.

HTML
tutorial

This week I began working on learning a new function tag in HTML called the <details> tag. This tag enables you to condense and hide information and then restore it by pressing the small arrow by the tag's name. I can already see how this can be useful in making FAQ type tages and displaying all key points within view without the need to scroll.
