GRAPHIC DESIGN, 742b, Networks & Transactions 1
GREEN 209 M 10:30-2:30, plus lab times to be announced
How can graphic design influence and be influenced by the unpredictable encounters between one group and another? Or between quantities of unknown users on one side, and vast webs of fluctuating information on the other? In the Networks & Transactions sequence we will develop together a typography appropriate for these pervasive conditions of the modern world. This is the first class of the sequence.
In addition to typographic concerns, in this class you will learn fundamentals of programming, and the PHP language in specific, through hands-on work. No previous programming experience is necessary. See the syllabus for more information. Dan Michaelson.
Prerequisite: Open to prelim and first-year graduate graphic design students, or by permission of instructor.

COLOR CONVERSION IN PHP
Examples showing how to use PHP to convert HSV to RGB, RGB to hexadecimal, and just about any other color-related operation you’d want to perform.
Also, here’s my solution to assignment 1 in case it’d be helpful to see it in use: look at the code here, test it here.
CSS 3
Here’s an example of experimental CSS 3 commands, currently only supported in Safari 3.1 (WebKit). See also the code comments within : http://stewdio.org/css3
CITY CODE LOOKUP
This is the URL to use for city code lookup for the weather project (replace the “new%20haven” with another city, zip, or city code to get different results): http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=new%20haven
Here’s how I used it (these are links to code, the link to the functional site is above with the weather projects):Thanks to Stewart and Stina for their help with this.
