I'm going to incorporate JS into my website with material design animations (ripples, slides, etc.) and this all uses JS to create click events and makes the while website interactive. Android already incorporates this throughout the entire operating system. I would love to create a website that is material design compliant.

Javascript is a scripting language used for both backend and frontend web pages. It serves alongside or instead of php as a server storage language and in the frontend powering animations, and other types of graphical interfaces, it's kinda like java's web language, although they're nearly completely separate things.

HTML and CSS are not realted in any way

HTML and CSS really aren't similiar in any way - one was designed to compliment and make the other one look better. CSS simply puts an extra coat of paint on HTML, which natively has very few design choices. CSS is most definetly NOT a replacement for HTML. The language simply cannot dictate certain rendering things like a body or a header, or even the text on something like a button. HTML tells the computer what to render basically, and CSS finishes it by telling the web browser how to render it. They're about as separate as oil and water in that regard.

CSS means Cascading Style Sheets, and it adds alot of customization options to your website. You can change the background color, text, and literally every aspect of how the web page behaves. My favorite aspect of CSS is that you can make the web page responsive, and also animations can be made into the website with CSS, which replaces the system-hogging adobe flash. (death to flash!!!)

I don't really hate anything per say about html, (after all it powers the entire internet) but I do have a few pet peeves about the language. I do get really annoyed that you must close all of the tags after you issue one, and I don't really like how most code editors don't auto-complete your tags for you. I would improve the language in the text aspect of things, as it needs more customization with the font and alignments, as they never seem to work for me. I would dream of an html where you can specifically dictate exactly how you want your text. CSS has come close to this, but nothing natively in html does this.

A good website has many parts to it. For one, it must have a unified design language. this refers to the style of the buttons and drop down menus as well as the look and feel of the entire website. It must all be unified and carried out as such. Also, ads must not be intrusive, and the website must load fast and be responsive. Speaking of responsiveness, the website must also adapt to the screen size and resolution of the particular screen that it's being viewed on. Also, the website just plain shouldn't be quirky to use and understand. It should be simple and pretty to the eye

On your website, I don't see why you shouldn't use pictures you took of yourself as long as they are professional enough. On my personal website I have pictures if myself that were done in school pictures.Therefore, yes I would use pictures I took of myself for a personal Website.

HTML is HyperText Markup Language. It is in the front-end (non-server side) of webpages and decides, along with CSS, what appears on the screen. I am already fluent in HTML, and yes, once you learn the language it helps you understand what goes into making a website and what constitutes a website. A tag is simply like a piece of code that acts as a flag, telling the computer what is inside the brackets and how to process it.

The first thing you see when you enter a website is usually the color scheme and the body of the webpage. To me, the color scheme and design components ( more on that in a moment ) are the most important elements of a webpage. For the design cmponents, I mean what the buttons, header, and in general how everything behaves. My favorite design component is called Material Design. Material design was introduced by google and android 5.0 and 6.0 is the showcase for the design language. It looks really good to me, and it favors responsiveness and really cool animations. This implemented right looks amazing on a webpage.

my life without social media wouldn't really be that much different. I really only use it to post picutres from time to time. However, at the same time it would be much different because I could not have been discovered on my website unless I posted about it on social media. I now have some of the highest ranking photography pages in the country following me. I do also suppose that my shopping life would be different, and I would have to go to a physical place to buy a product. I sell and shop on ebay quite often.

The difference between a search and a sort is that in a search you are looking for a specific object. In a sort, you are organizing the entire system to make it easier to search for an object or set of data. Sometimes, you should sort a set of data so that you can search for an object easier. These two things in unison can make a computer algorithm more effecient and faster.

In any data set, order matters. For example, a name database must be ordered correctly or else the entire database becomes offset. This goes for many online databases, including facebook, or even email where if a single data set is off, data can be distributed to the wrong user or just straight up deleted. Most data needs to be ordered in a manner that is also effecient, like with an array.

Outside of computers, the next best example of a network is friends, obviously. You have different levels of friends, and then you can branch out from there as far as other friends go. Chances are if you need to buy an item or interview somebody for something, you'll go to a friend, and they'll branch out to their friends, etc. 

Here is an example (pretend each dot is a person)

I'd attempt the method of using words that are most common in the english language. The, it, etc. has the highest chances of appearing in a set of english language words. After I tried those, then I'd move on to ever so rarer words until I found the one.

Yes, there is a pattern here to generalize. Just divide the candybar by how many people are sharing it and you'll get the number of how many times you'll have to break it. This can become an algorithim because it is the math function required to find out how many times to break the candybar based on how many people there are.

I'd analyze all of the consequences, and then i'd analyze all of the possible ways to solve the problem. Next, I'd select the best possibility to solving the problem and execute it. Also, to keep a record for next time, I'd record what I did to select that option once again.

literally everything can be learned about me - my interests, what food i eat, what products I buy, and everything else. To a certain extant, I don;t consider this to be ruining my privacy, unless that company that i give the data to sells it. This I consider morally wrong, and I think thsi should even be against the law. Also, the NSA data collection should also be against the law and stopped.

I've programmed before actually. It is indeed very hard to get a computer to follow precise directions. For example, in CSS you must be very precise or else the webpage will not be displayed correctly. To make the website responsive to the page size, you must set a minimum and maximum size for each corresponding div shell. unless you a re very specific, the computer will simply display what it wants to display.

a computer stores data by putting all of the information it processes by storing it in the computer's hard drive. Data is everything - the credit card you used online last week, your pictures, your movies. everything you do on the computer is data.

when I hear data, I think of information. This essentially is what  data is. Just information. Data essentially is found everywhere where something can be written down and recorded, but the largest amounts of data are recorded in servers online. This is where the most information is found in all of human history, in the past 25 years or so. This is how far human have come.

My daily life would be very different without current technology. For one, i would not have access to google. I use google for so many things. Google is the basis for my android powered-\ smartphone, as well as my android-powered watch. My google now cards give me weather forecasts at a glance, as well as stock prices, and it even tells me 30 minutes before I go home from school about the traffic from here to my house. Other that, however, I still like the way things got done before "smart" everything. I still like letters and radio. However, I like managing my website and coding in HTML and CSS. it unleashes my creativity and) I enjoy this at a very low cost (free, actually)
