Mararka qaarkood sida ugu fiican ee mawduuc adag looga dhigi karo si sahlan loo fahmi karo waa in la isticmaalo qaab buug majaajillo ah (sida qof kasta oo waligiis arkay mid ka mid ah taxanaha kartoonka ee Larry Gonick ayaa ka marag furi kara). Waxyaabaha si xun u qallalan oo jahawareer leh marka lagu soo bandhigo erayada warqadda waxay u eegi karaan soo jiidasho badan marka farshaxanku sawiro. Maadaama aanan wali si fiican u baran qorista HTML code, waxaan rajo weyn ka qabay in aan dhiso Website-kaaga: Hagaha Majaajilada ah ee HTML, CSS iyo WordPress^{(Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML, CSS and WordPress)} . Ma^(Did) helay wixii aan rajaynayay? Akhri si aad u ogaato

Majaajiliistaha ma ku bari karaa koodka?

Dhiso Mareegtaada: Tusaha Majaajilada ah ee HTML, CSS iyo WordPress^{(Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML, CSS and WordPress)} maahan waxa cinwaankiisu ballanqaado. Qaybaha buugaagta majaajillada ah waxay u adeegaan horudhac qaybo ka mid ah sharraxaya waxyaalaha isku midka ah ee qoraalka tooska ah ee aan wax badan ka duwanayn kuwa kale "barro abuurista boggaga internetka" hagayaasha tilmaamaha.

Qaybta majaajillada-buugga waa… si fiican, haddii aad waqti dheer tahay akhristaha buugaagta majaajillada ah iyo sheeko-yaqaannada garaafka (sida aan ahay) waxaad ka heli doontaa sawirrada halkii si naxariis darro ah loo sawiray. Ma jiro geesiyaal heersare ah oo halkan jooga, kaliya tacaburrada Kim , eygeeda Tofu , iyo jilayaal kale oo kala duwan kuwaas oo isku dayaya inay tusiyaan Kim waxyaabaha soo gelista iyo bannaanka codaynta.

Sheekada Kim^(Kim) waxay ka bilaabantaa isku daygeeda ah inay ku qorto HTML code, iyo daahfurtay waxyaabo badan oo dhici kara haddii aadan si sax ah u qorin.

Marka sheekada la sawiray ay Kim ka qaadato habka barashada ee isku dhafka boggeeda koowaad, abuurista feylkeeda tusaha, isku xirka dhammaan sawirada si habboon, hubinta shaqadeeda iyo dilka 404 masduulaagii mar kale, buuggu wuxuu u wareegayaa sharaxaad 11 bog ah (in nooc aad u yar) oo ah waxa ay samaysay. Sharaxaada daabacan ayaa aad u faahfaahsan oo ku saabsan habka loo maro, waxaana filayaa in dadka intooda badan, tani ay tahay halka ay ka heli doonaan macluumaadka ugu faa'iidada badan. Marka, majaajiliiste ma ku bari karaa koodka? Runtii maaha. Laakin waxay noqon kartaa horudhac waxtar leh oo ku saabsan abuurista boggaga internetka ee loogu talagalay dadka si fiican wax ugu barta sawirrada.

Ku socota Xaashiyaha Qaabka

Qaybta xigta waxay la tacaalaysaa abuurista CSS , ama xaashida qaabaynta, soo bandhigida guru cusub oo aadaysa wax u eg Wizard of Oz parody.

^(CSS)Abuuritaanka CSS waa mawduuc kakan si kasta oo loo sharraxay, markaa sharraxaadda buug-majaajilada ayaa dheer waxayna ka muuqataa khilaaf joogto ah oo u dhexeeya HTML -ga ^(HTML)HTML^(CSS) -ga , kaas oo aan filayo in loogu talagalay in lagu muujiyo sida labada isku xiran yihiin, laakiin waxay u muuqatay. si aad meel uga saarto tilmaamaha wakhti aad u yar ka dib.

Dabcan sharraxaadda qoraalka ah ee soo socota buugga majaajillada ah ayaa sidoo kale dheer oo faahfaahsan oo aad u cufan macluumaad.

Buuggu waxa uu dhiirigelinayaa in la sameeyo dukumeenti HTML ah oo tijaabo ah si loogu dhaqmo adeegsiga waxa uu barayo, iyo in wax kasta oo ka badan ay tusi doonaan dadka cusub sida ay wax u shaqeeyaan, sida ay u khaldan yihiin iyo sida loo hagaajin karo. Gaar ahaan CSS , waxaa muhiim ah in la raaco qoraalka adiga oo ka shaqaynaya dukumeentiga imtixaanka sida loo sharaxay. Sharaxaada daabacan ayaa wax badan ka faahfaahinaysa marka loo eego qaybta majaajillada majaajillada ah ee ay samaysay, waana in ay dokumentiga imtixaanka ka dhigto mid sahlan in lagu shaqeeyo.

Wizard ee WordPress

Wizard of^(Wizard) Oz parody wuxuu ku sii socdaa qaybta loo qoondeeyay WordPress . Kim waxa ay ogaatay in dhammaan xirfadaha HTML iyo CSS ee ay waqti badan ku bixisay in ay wax ka barato qaybihii hore aanay haba yaraatee loo baahnayn marka ay isticmaasho WordPress . ( Poor Kim .) 🙂

Kim iyo Tofu waxay ka shaqeeyaan sidii ay u dhex mari lahaayeen magaalada WordPress^{(WordPress City)} , iyagoo baranaya sida loo abuuro goobta WordPress . Buuggu si la fahmi karo waa xamaasad ku saabsan WordPress , sababtoo ah waxay ka dhigaysaa abuurista bogga mid sahlan oo aan loo baahnayn xirfado gaar ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, ma aha ilaa qaybta majaajilada ah la dhammeeyo oo qaybta qoraalka bilaabanto in aan ogaano in qorayaashu ay filayaan in akhristayaasha ay leeyihiin domain WordPress ah (oo loo yaqaan website-kooda) sababtoo ah goobta wordpress.com waxay isticmaashaa qayb yar oo keliya. ee WordPress buuxa . Taasi waxay noqon kartaa la yaab aan wanaagsanayn. (Laakin la soco, waxaa jira caawimo lagu daray qaybta u dambaysa.)

Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii akhristuhu leeyahay, ama samayn karo, shabakad shakhsi ah, qaybta qoraalka ee sharraxaysa WordPress ayaa si fiican loo habeeyey oo ay ka buuxaan sawirro waxtar leh oo ka dhigaya abuurista boggaga WordPress mid aad u fudud. ^(WordPress)(Abuurayaasha WordPress ayaa wax badan ka caawiyay sannadihii la soo dhaafay, iyagoo la kaashanaya martigeliyayaasha domain si ay u bixiyaan rakibaadda hal-guji halkii aad ka heli lahayd "Download, Unpack, and ftp it yourself" habka loo isticmaalo sannadihii tagay.)

Qaybta buugga-majaajillada ah ee soo socota, Kim waxay barataa sida loo shakhsiyeeyo boggeeda WordPress iyadoo la isticmaalayo bogga Muuqaalka^(Appearance) ee dashboard-ka, plugins, iyo mawduucyada WordPress . Waxaa jira xulashooyin badan oo la heli karo oo qaybta majaajillada ah ayaa ku dhex socota Kim , xitaa waxaa jira dhammaad la yaab leh markii ay ogaatay in ay jiraan wax badan oo magaalada WordPress^{(WordPress City)} ah oo ka badan intii loo sheegay. Mar labaad, qaybta qoraalka ayaa aad u faahfaahsan oo sharraxaysa habka habaynta si dadka intooda badani ay si sahlan u fahmaan sida ay u shaqeeyaan.

Kim iyo Tofu ayaa wada dhigay

Ka warran haddii akhristuhu aanu hore u lahayn degel u gaar ah? Qaybta kama dambaysta ah, The Big Launch , waxay bixisaa talooyin badan oo wanaagsan (labadaba buug-majaajillo ah iyo qoraal) oo ku saabsan doorashada martigeliyaha webka (oo ay ku jiraan rajada inaad bixiso adeegga martigelinta halkii aad dooran lahayd midka ugu horreeya ee bilaashka ah ee aad aragto, taas oo ah talo aad u fiican. ). Waxa kale oo ay sharraxaysaa habka loo isticmaalo ftp si loo soo geliyo faylasha lagama maarmaanka ah ee nooc kasta oo shabakad ah, oo ay ku jiraan talada FileZilla , macmiil ftp bilaash ah oo aad u fiican.

Dhamaadka Dhis Websaydhkaaga: Hagaha Majaajilada ee HTML, CSS iyo WordPress^{(Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML, CSS and WordPress)} , akhristuhu waa inuu haystaa macluumaad badan oo faa'iido leh oo gacanta ku jira si uu u isticmaalo hage u ah abuurista nooc kasta oo shabakad ah.

Fikirka ugu dambeeya

Buuggaan waxa aan u arkay in ay fududahay in la akhriyo, si fiicana loo agaasimay oo si fiican looga fikiray. Dadka filanaya in ay noqoto 100% qaab-buug-majaajilo ah, inkastoo, ay noqon doonaan kuwo niyad-jabsan (ma ahan in tani ay tahay shay xun, waxaan ku degdegayaa inaan ku daro, sababtoo ah macluumaadka ku jira qaybaha qoraalka cad waa mid aad u faahfaahsan oo sahlan u leexo tixraac mustaqbalka).

In kasta oo cinwaanka, safarka Kim ee dhulka ^(Land)Code -ka ayaa runtii u horseedaya magaalada WordPress^{(WordPress City)} , halkaas oo koodka ay waqti badan ku bixisay barashada uu yahay kan labaad ee xirmada WordPress ee habka abuurista bogga casriga ah. Maaddaama abuurayaasha WordPress ay had iyo jeer ku daraan sifooyin cusub oo ay wanaajiyaan safka hadda jira, sawirradu waxay u badan tahay inaysan u dhigmi doonin sida nooca hadda ee WordPress u eg yahay, laakiin aasaaska abuurista bogagga WordPress ayaa isku mid ah.^(WordPress)

Xukun

Qof kastaa siyaalo kala duwan ayuu u bartaa sida ugu wanaagsan, markaa ma samayn karo talo-bixin buste ah oo ku saabsan Dhisidda Mareegtaada: Hagaha Majaajillada ah ee HTML, CSS iyo WordPress^{(Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML, CSS and WordPress)} . Waxaan odhan karaa qorayaashu waxay geliyeen fikrado badan iyo hawlo badan oo hagahan ah, haddaba haddii habka aad wax u baranaysaa uu ku habboon yahay sidii ay u bareen maaddooyinkan kakan, buuggani wuxuu noqon doonaa mid qiimo badan ku soo kordhiya maktabadaada tixraaca. Ka iibso buug-iibiyaha oo leh siyaasad dib-u-celin wanaagsan, oo sii dabayl!

Book Review: Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide To HTML, CSS And Wordpress

Sometimеs the best way to make a complex subject easy to undеrstand is to use a comic-book format (as аnyone who's ever seen one of Larry Gonick's amazing "cartoon history" series can testify). Things that look аwfully dry and confusing when they're pυt forth as words on paper can look much more appeаling when an artist has put them into pictυres. Sinсe I still haven't mastered writing HTML сode, I had high hopes for Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML, CSS and WordPress. Did I get what I hoped for? Read on to find out.

Can A Comic Teach You Code?

Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML, CSS and WordPress isn't quite what its title promises. The comic-book sections serve as an introduction to sections that explain the same things in straightforward text that isn't much different from other "learn to create web pages" instruction guides.

The comic-book part is… well, if you're a long time reader of comic books and graphic novels (as I am) you'll find the illustrations rather crudely drawn. No superheroes here, just the adventures of Kim, her dog Tofu, and assorted other characters who try to show Kim the ins and outs of coding.

Kim's story starts out with her attempts to write HTML code, and her discovery of the many things that can happen if you don't write it correctly.

Once the illustrated story takes Kim through the learning process of putting together her first page, creating its index file, linking all the images properly, checking her work and slaying the 404 dragon yet again, the book switches to an 11-page explanation (in fairly small type) of what it was that she did. The printed explanation goes into a lot more detail about the process, and I think for most people, this is where they'll find the most useful information. So, can a comic teach you code? Not really. But it could be a helpful introduction to web page creation for people who learn things better with images.

On To The Style Sheets

The next section tackles the creation of CSS, or cascading style sheets, introducing a new guru and heading off into something resembling a Wizard of Oz parody.

CSS creation is a complex topic regardless of how it's explained, so the comic-book explanation is longer and features an ongoing quarrel between the HTML guru and the CSS guru, which I guess was intended to show how the two are linked, but it seemed to take space away from the instructions after a very short time.

And of course the plain-text explanation that follows the comic book is also longer and more detailed and very dense with information.

The book encourages the creation of a test HTML document to practice using what it's teaching, and that more than anything will show newcomers how things work, how they go wrong and how they can be fixed. Especially with CSS, it's important to follow along in the text by working on the test document the way it's explained. The printed explanation lays things out in a lot more detail than the comic-book section did, and should make the test document easier to work on.

The Wizard Of WordPress

The Wizard of Oz parody continues in the section devoted to WordPress. Kim finds out that all the HTML and CSS skills she's spent so much time learning in the previous sections aren't necessary at all when she uses WordPress. (Poor Kim.) 🙂

Kim and Tofu work their way through WordPress City, learning how to create a WordPress site. The book is understandably enthusiastic about WordPress, because it makes page creation easy and no special coding skills are required. However, it's not till the comic section is finished and the text section begins that we find out that the authors expect the readers to have a self-hosted WordPress domain (aka their own website) because the wordpress.com site only uses a small subset of the full WordPress. That might come as a rude surprise. (But stay tuned, there is help included in the final section.)

However, if the reader has, or can set up, a personal web site, the text section that explains WordPress is well organized and full of helpful illustrations that should make creating WordPress pages very easy. (The creators of WordPress have helped a lot in recent years, partnering with domain hosts to offer one-click installation rather than the "download, unpack, and ftp it yourself" process used in years gone by.)

In the next comic-book section, Kim learns how to personalize her WordPress site using the Appearance page in the dashboard, plugins, and WordPress themes. There are a lot of options available and the comic-book section walks Kim through them, and there's even a surprise ending as she finds out that there's more to WordPress City than she's been told. Once again, the text section goes into a lot of detail and explains the customization process so most people can easily understand how it all works.

Kim And Tofu Put It Together

What if the reader doesn't have his or her own web site already? The final section, The Big Launch, offers plenty of good advice (both comic-book and text) about choosing a web host (including expecting to pay for a hosting service rather than just picking the first free one you see, which is excellent advice). It also explains the process of using ftp to upload the necessary files for any kind of web site, including a recommendation for FileZilla, an excellent free ftp client.

By the end of Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML, CSS and WordPress, the reader should have plenty of useful information on hand to use as a guide to the creation of almost any kind of web site.

Final Thoughts

I found this book easy to read, and it was well organized and well thought out. People who expect it to be 100% comic-book format, though, are going to be disappointed (not that this is a bad thing, I hasten to add, because the information in the plain-text sections is much more detailed and easy to turn to for future reference).

Despite the title, Kim's journey through the Land of Code really leads her to WordPress City, where the code she spent so much time learning is secondary to the WordPress package's sophisticated page creation process. Since the creators of WordPress are always adding new features and improving the current lineup, the illustrations likely will not match what the current version of WordPress looks like, but the basics of creating WordPress sites remain the same.

Verdict

Each person learns best in different ways, so I can't make a blanket recommendation for Build Your Own Website: A Comic Guide to HTML, CSS and WordPress. I can say that the authors put a lot of thought and a lot of work into the guide, so if your learning style fits the way they've taught these complex subjects, this book will be a valuable addition to your reference library. Buy it from a bookseller who has a good return policy, and give it a whirl!
