Learning is
a process. Input >>> absorption >>> internalize >>>
output. It doesn’t matter how you do
the process, as long as you get the desired (correct) result!
So if you
want to learn a foreign language, you can visit a foreign country, where all
the visual cues are right there in front of you. Or, you can turn on your t.v.
and watch foreign movies with subtitles. You can read foreign books, listen to
foreign music, frequent foreign restaurants and study foreign menus.
If you want
to learn to cook, you need to be in touch with food, not ingredients. If you
want to learn to garden, you’ll probably get your hands dirty.
And if you
want to learn HTML Code, you can use your very own blog posts to do so. Yes,
you read that right.
Simply take a
few of your blog posts and print them out in composition mode. Now, go into
edit mode and click the HTML button. Print out the code. Put them side by side
and solve the puzzle. Decipher how the symbols are used, what they mean and how
they affect format and layout.
Okay, so
this isn’t what they’ll teach you in technical school. My bet is they didn’t
teach you how to blog either!
Exposure is
a priority. Then it’s all about practice!
Happy Valentine’s
Day!

P. S. Have
you visited Google (.com) today? There’s a rather cute graphic there today –
Valentine’s Day and the anniversary of the Ferris wheel. Who knew? Also, if you
have teenagers, you might want to check out the Google Science Fair opportunity.

ReplyDeleteI know, right?! Thanks for stopping by, Sherry. It's always a pleasure to see you:)
DeleteHi Joachim
ReplyDeleteThis indeed a great beginning to learn this difficult language LOL
I am new to this code, but by practice i learned few things bye this way of course not as you said here, need to check more this way. Thanks for sharing this
Best Regards

Random thoughts in my brain, Phil. That's all I'm sharing here. Seems likely they'll be useful on this one. Being exposed to what we need to learn in different ways is always helpful, when you're trying to learn something.
DeleteThat's a clever way for a newbie to learn. (I do web design at work, so I know a lot of html, and it's really difficult to describe to someone who knows nothing.)
ReplyDeleteBonus points for the teacher in me! Thanks for stopping by, Alex:)
