Decayed
art and music of an individual
Introduction
It is a new year, and yet another JJC web design competition. I am looking forward to this years competition because I feel instead of using a boring tabled layout, I would use the ever so fluid CSS div style layout.
Realize, that people look at the quality and load time of websites. When people see tables, they flip out and usually don't come back to your site. - Dan Ristic (also a participant)
For those that are interested to see my insanely graphic designing skils and horrible table placement entry for last year's competition feel free and look!
Pretty crappy right. (Don't even say it judges I didn't grow up in the W3C!) It was, but I did in turn win the specialty for art, so that made me feel a little bit better about my site. So in regards to the horrible piece I came up with this, Decayed. I am a musician and obviously love art/web design so this was a perfect fit. Look me up at MySpace if you interested in learning more about me.
Latest Stuff
I definitly have been doing a bunch of programming lately. It seems that I am back tracking from doing the basic html tags here and div tags. I guess its more around the
Languages that I am currently learning/using:
- C/C++/C#
- VB.NET
- ASP.NET
These are all in fact a little bit stronger and more powerful than web programming per say. I included ASP.NET, even though it is a web programming language, it still uses a lot of either Visual Basic syntax or C++ syntax.
IDEs or 'CodeEditors' I use:
- Visual Studio 2005/2008 Express Editions
- CodeBlocks
- Dev C++
Visual Studio is my most used compiler only because it is a cross-language platforming IDE and is very stable. However, when working with the 'Visual' derivatives fo the languages, Microsoft tends to throw a bunch of random errors at you, even for the slightest mistake.
All these (except for Visual Studio 2005/2008 Professional Editions) are free to use and can be downloaded from their parent sites. I never realized, how important programming is to the community.
How The Site Came to Be
Well, today is the day that the entries are due. I did slack however on this piece because I was thinking of adding a third, left-side navigation, but I just didn't have the time to just add some filler content to make it look nice.
But formalities aside, this turned out pretty decent, unlike my last entry for last year, i have yet to use a 'search' tool, and I will probably never ever implement one like that again. A stand alone image doesn't make up for crappy code =[.
This site is awesome! I had no idea a high school student can have this much potential for the web industry. - Random JJC Web Design Competition Judge
