The Wonders Of Syntaxes...
This is an article on my experience when I began to learn HTML. It’s not actually written as made for a joke but it isn't professional for anything else so I put it in this section. If you've started learning all the syntaxes and html codes, I’m sure we had the same experience buddy! (At least at the beginning..)
I am a complete idiot when it comes to designing web pages. Sure, web pages fascinate me when they load into my pc, especially the flash based ones… but it’s one thing to be passionate about something and an entirely different thing to actually do it…
Once upon a time, I decided I wanted to learn this art which explains (actually doesn’t) why I took C++ (I could have taken HTML but C++ was so plus plus…) I got an alright marks in C++ but I learnt zero on designing web pages so I was back to where I started from… I decided I could give it a second chance so I took my classmate’s text (who had intelligently…maybe… chosen HTML) and expectantly skimmed through the pages of it. Besides the smell, the artwork and the demonstrations in the book thrilled me… you could say I was practically drooling over the book…
Come holidays and I couldn’t wait to explore the fascinating book. I was still drooling and feverishly opened the book as if it was as hot as lava. The first page was filled with comments from other readers. I went through some, one said, "YOU ARE THE GREATEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO INTRODUCTORY COMPUTER BOOKS!" while another praised, "thank you, thank you, thank you… for making it so easy for me to break into this high-tech world." I didn’t know what was more embarrassing, me going all gaga over an HTML book or my brother staring stupidly at me…
"Ash! What are you doing here?" I asked as if suddenly pushed into the world around me.
"I wanted your compass for a moment… I’ve been calling you from ages…"
"in what volume?… whatever just go!… take whatever damn you want and next time KNOCK!"
My brother murmured something like "… you couldn’t hear my voice, how will you hear a knock?"
When he was halfway down, "Oh, I forgot… I don’t have a compass…"
On the next page there were credits and acknowledgments and then finally, the index. The first 4 pages were basically about the internet. Its history, abbreviations used, how to get connected etc… and I’m like ok, ok, stop delaying my meal already! They then went into explanation of why, how and what of creating web pages, then about planning and protecting web pages… so much for HTML in an instant! I know what you’re thinking… I can easily skip all this right? That’s my stupidity, I confess… I don’t want to skip anything… (surprisingly the concept doesn’t wish to hold true while reading for my exams… wonder why?) and finally my meal is ready! it starts out with the most basic tags like <html> </html>, <body>, <title>, ... etc... I quickly rushed through all of it and hey presto! I was done but you know.. the problem's just begun and by problem my dear readers I mean that my head broke into half, my whole body began to shake, my hands began to tremble..... I damn got angry!........
