The Woork Handbook
|
“The Woork Handbook is a free eBook [by Antonio Lupetti, of woork.blogspot.com .] about CSS, HTML, AJAX, web programming, Moo Tools, Scriptaculous, and other topics about web design…” That’s got to be good. I haven’t even looked at it yet; I’ve only just discovered it. Since it’s free, however, I reckon it’s worth a Digg, maybe subscribing to the RSS feed, even a contribution if you’re feeling generous why not? I simply have to blog it.
This guy may not necessarily be a cunning linguist, but he seems to have a good amount of tech prowess; which can only be beneficial to take notice of. It would appear to be a good idea to bookmark his website. You can download your free copy HERE. It’s strange to note that this chap; having all that knowledge and experience, uses Google’s blogger rather than his own self-hosted blog. Maybe he has many other blogs; hosted and self-hosted? I have a blog on Posterous, as well as one on Windows Live: Both of which I hardly ever use these days. Carrying on with that point: When I was working in the double-glazing industry, a lot of my colleagues had the worst windows I’d ever seen, in an unbelievably bad state, on their own homes; yet they were selling brand new double-glazed uPVC windows and doors etc to other homeowners. - Have you ever noticed that with trades people? I know a builder whose house is a wreck. I know an electrician whose home wiring hasn’t been attended to for about 50 years… It’s quite uncanny in a way. Anyway enough of this rabbit: Go forth and download your free copy; then do something nice like donating, bookmarking, adding to social media, etc. If you like you could tell me what YOU think of the book. Please remember when you do that I’m not a programmer as such, I’m still a novice when it comes to php, css, and almost everything else too in that line, other than 1970’s Commodore BASIC. Also to a lesser extent; DOS, and HTML. Having said that you get the chance to go well beyond my understanding here. – So if you’d like to take the opportunity to ‘beat the author’ ; please feel free to indulge.

‘Self-hosting’ does not mean paying else somebody to host the site for you. It means hosting it yourself, like on your own computer. S-e-l-f H-o-s-t-i-n-g. Duh. Carry on amusing!
It can mean either; at least in the context I was using it.
Yes Sharron, we can all make our own languages up as we go along, but the idea here is to communicate what we mean to say. Try Googling, and see how the rest of the English speaking world uses this termm in a web-hosting context. It’s not difficult to set up IIS, if you are interested in trying it out.
I had an IIS server, both FTP and web server, running during 2003/4. From experience I arrived at the conclusion that it was more convenient, and cheaper in the long run, to rent space on a professionally-hosted server. If you prefer to host your domain on your own computer then it does have its advantages as well as its disadvantages.
I would encourage any other readers to give IIS a try; just to see what you think.
