260 Days of Learning Project
 
It has been a couple of days since my last blog entry, but I knew there would be times like this when I would miss two or three days in a row.  I just cannot let them happen to often.

So I have continued with Whittaker's Producing for Web 2.0: A Student Guide with the "Using Media" chapter.  Well, there is really not much to say about this chapter.  It's 31 pages of "blah".  The chapter discusses images, audio, video, and flash.  While it does it good job of this, I guess I knew most of this stuff from simple trial and error.  There are a couple of tips and tricks that I was not aware of, but for the most part, it is all pretty general information, but good for someone just starting out and serious about web authoring. 

Something else that Whittaker does throughout the book thus far which I found extremely helpful is that he supplies information on web pages or other software packages that are much cheaper or even free.  He always starts with talking about something like photoshop for image editing, but he will then give alternatives.

On to chapter 6 for tomorrow.  Yes, I'll be back tomorrow.
