Hello World,

I've signed myself up for a range of computer classes at BCIT in an effort to re-train myself and my skills. As I mentioned in my introduction, despite 10+ years working in the web/mobile industry professionally, after several years of management my actual programming skills are rusty enough that I am not happy with them.


At the end of COMP 1850 my plan is to have started working on building a website for the local viking longboat, the Munin. I am volunteer crew on this half-scale recreation of a historical boat and have been talking to the captain, Marian, about rebuilding the current page for some time now. This class seems like a great opportunity to work on this.


To meet the curriculum requirements for COMP 1850 Assignment 1 I have made use of two HTML tags not covered so far in class. Not entirely on this page, but you're still seeing them both in effect right now. Let me explain.

  1. <object>
    The object tag is used to add a complex element to your page. This can be used for Flash, PDF files, Java applets and more. Right now you are seeing an <object> tag in place to embed the flash animation of the turtle just below my BCIT student ID.
  2. <iframe>
    Something that hasn't been used in class is an <iframe> tag. An iframe lets you define a space on your page and then pull an entire separate page into that space. Everything in the grey border here is actually a different page that has been pulled in through an iframe on the index.html page.

    This can be used to change page content without leaving the current page. Notice that clicking the tabs above doesn't change the page URL? That's because those links are swapping the content of the iframe to a new page while leaving you on the index.html page. This gives you another another navigation/styling option.

Want to learn a bit more about me and what I'm up to? Here are a few links:


There we go, this is a basic batch of info about me. Feel free to be in touch!

Cheers,
Adrian
