Zen of the About Page

It’s all good. It’s designed to be, as unbiased as possible, a resource for everyone. It’s NoviceNotes™, and you are welcome to stay as long, or as briefly as you wish. It’s all good.

Believe me that I care about you. I really do. I care about what you learn, how well you learn it, and likewise, your capacity to apply what you’ve learned in an effective manner. I want any knowledge obtained here by you, the reader, to better enable you to solve problems, express yourself creatively, or otherwise enhance your efficacy in Web Design, Web Application Development, and understanding of the relationship between your web application technology, and perhaps another web application, third-party web applications, or web services which may be necessary for the fulfillment of your vision of success for your project. If NoviceNotes™ contributes to the advancement of your efficiency and productivity as a person who works in web media, then I am pleased, and the resource itself is fulfilling its purpose; my goal;

NOTE: the name, NoviceNotes™, NoviceNotes.Net, NoviceNotes.com, and the former title, the Web Developers Pocket Reference are used interchangeably throughout this web log, while each refer to the same: the public resource which is this blog (i.e. NoviceNotes™ refers to the collection of various URL’s spawned from the root URL, novicenotes.net; novicenotes.com, the Web Developer’s resource bourne of the Hypertext Preprocessor HTTP scripting engine, or PHP, the a server-side scripting technology interacting in synergy with the open-source database, MySQL. NoviceNotes™ is, simply put, a common-name for a particular set of data, organized for public access by what might be best described as a dynamic, web Content Management System CMS built, originally and currently, on the WordPress™ open source blog software.)

Because I am concerned with the accessibility, and quality of content of NoviceNotes™, I put as much effort into each article, and every page (or other resource published at NoviceNotes™), as I would in the preparation, for example, of any text I might submit on my own behalf to a professional publisher, reviewer, or any entity (person, business, corporation, or syndicate), known to receive only formally edited, accurate (proofread), credible text. I am aware, however, that some of NoviceNotes™, due to its age, having existed prior to my decision to author quality content for public consumption, may not conform to such standards, and it is my intent to iron-out those wringkles. Please bring to my attention, anything which you believe is inaccurate, poorly written, or otherwise in need of editing, updating, or deletion. Indeed, NoviceNotes™ began as a private web log, subject only to my own (albeit, overly-sensitive) self-criticism, so certain articles may yet seem as a personal To-do, or private cheat-sheet– particularly anything dated earlier than 2007, which I’ve kept available, consistent with the purpose of an honest text; a proper reference. Anything published before The Web Developer’s Pocket Reference transitioned from a collection of private notes, decidedly so, into a public resource with a proper, easy-to-remember domain name (so I’ve hoped in applying an official title, NoviceNotes™); until I aspired to boosting traffic, to propagating the whereabouts of my own contribution to HTMLiteracy, to target-marketing content-for-beginners, using a catchy name, as available for reference by the Web Development community at large, I did post several articles written only for my own, quick-reference (but hope, in retrospect, such items might serve as nonetheless useful for public reading).

NoviceNotes.Net (aka. the Web Developers’ Pocket Reference): What it Is and Why

i created this Web Log as a place where i can bLog my research as i learn more about Web Application Development, and the associated technology. This is not meant to be necessarily a tutorials page, or a place where i will publish my own articles, or scripts or apps which i have developed– but instead, my plan for this Log is to simply keep a place to store my own favorite and/or logged references, snippets of information on Web Development and Associated Technology which i’ll collect as i go along, bits that i’ve learned as my own skill develops, and in general it will contain as a matter of course, several links to other resources– all of which will be accessible from any location where i might be doing development work. The enabling technology, of course, does render my personal reference easily accessible to public eyes, as this log exists only on-line, apart from periodic backups and other routine maintenance. Authors whose content is reproduced here, in part or in full, are encouraged to contact me at your leisure, for any reason, or if any of the following is true:

  • If you disapprove of my use of your material

About the Authors’ Works Referenced in this Web Log

Please Observe that any page which contains cited content will be documented appropriately either on that specific page of the Pocket Reference, or on the Works Cited Page. It is not my intent to claim ownership of the works I’m collecting, which will likely make up a large majority of this reference, but instead merely to do the very act of collecting the elements of each Programming Language which I reference as I go along, learning to develop with more advanced technique.

If you’ve come upon my Web Developer Pocket Reference Novice Notes dot Net, then I welcome you to make comment on any page, and in doing so, please mention also for what reason you decided to research that particular item. In this manner, perhaps an even more comprehensive and more useful reference will develop for the next user who might stumble upon this domain. Thanks for your attention.

Please Take a Moment to Review the Works Cited:

Any portion of this web site might contain appropriated material; text copied from another source, not original to the Author of NoviceNotes.com, presented here for the purpose of shared learning, as a supporting illustration, to make reference to another source in appreciation of the value of the content, or any of a number or reasons purely absent of malice. I put effort into citing any material which I can not claim as my own, As the author of NoviceNotes.com so please take a moment to read the citations

NOTE:

I often think that I must surely be going about programming dynamic web sites using the upside-down and backward approach. I often find that the procedures in my web applications, the logical flow, the use of JavaScript, PHP, and other programming methodology are the likes of which I have not seen elsewhere. Sometimes, if i hit a snag, thinking to myself, “okay, so i don’t understand this part… i’ll just Google® it!”, it’s not uncommon that i find nothing resembling my code (but maybe that’s just a function of my own poor skills in maximizing search engine results).

Whether my scripting technique is unorthodox, or even counter-intuitive; counter-productive, i really do not know for certain, having never been a student of any Professionally Instructed Computer Science; Software Programming course– but i do know that anything i’ve shared here at NoviceNotes.com has at least proven effective for my own applications. Readers (aka. Users; aka. “You, the person reading this text”) of NoviceNotes.com† should take this uncertainty into consideration, and in doing so; by reading the material presented here, must waive this web site of any and all liability for damages to your hardware or software, or the hardware or software you are operating. You must not hold NoviceNotes.com or its author liable for any loss, be it material or ethereal. NoviceNotes.com assumes no responsibility for any loss or damages incurred by the “User” to his, her, or their hardware, software, people, animals, and will not be held liable for the presence of foul odor, the occasional sour stomach, or any otherwise general malaise, physical or psychological, incurred from the “use” of this web site.

I hope you find something useful here to aide in your own learning, or entertainment. When I write, even if it seems like a personal note, I’m probably thinking of you, and try to present it in such a way that it might best be understood by someone other than myself.
