Finally making a little more sense

It's a wonder that my highlighter still has ink after reading through "Programming the World Wide Web." After figuring out that this was the reading I have been waiting for so I can get some definitions and explanations for what exactly the Web does and what all this Web lingo meant, I grabbed a highlighter so I could highlight all the important information that I wanted to remember. About 45 minutes later, practically the entire reading is bright green and I feel like I understand the concept of the Web a lot more than I did before I sat down.

Sebasta does a great job in this writing by illustrating what each part of the Web does and how it came to be that way. In addition, he gives helpful examples and explanations that I'm positive I will be referencing for the rest of the semester in this class. All of the jumbled acronyms are finally making sense, and now I actually know what a server is and how it relates to the browser. (Laugh all you want.)

 In addition, I won't lie, but the reading on the relationship between the Internet and www/infastructure deeply confused me since I'm still so new to all this computer lingo.

"Programming the World Wide Web," intimidated me greatly as well. The next few months will require an enormous amount of patience and tenacity for me. But I am eager to get this whole web design thing under my belt, and can't say I'm not super excited to learn more!
