Good Morning,
Thank you very much for the Web Development Tutorials. I always refer to your tutorials on the web even though I bought books on Asp.net, JavaScript and CSS from your site. Your tutorials are the best and easy to use. I am curious to know if you are going to add tutorial for asp.net 3.5.
Thank you very much for your help.
thanks!

Hi All,
I'm a web design instructor and have studied many hours and used lots of learning materials,
but yours sir are the very best I have encountered since starting to learn web design since 1998.
Brilliant beyond doubt.
Thank you so much for sharing

Hi,
I love the tutorials, they are very informative and helpful. I go to high school and they don't offer any courses in javascript, php or anything related to the web except for HTML. I just started reading the PHP one yesterday and have got so much out of it after just getting to the form handling section. I made a small app with PHP that calculates net income for a service and merchandise business and has some nice formatting just from the stuff i learned about in the PHP section.
I can't wait to look at some of the other stuff, since my school doesn't offer any programming stuff except visual basic and C++, theres not much else to do. So basically they have nothing for the people who like to write stuff for the web.
Thanks a lot,
your the best
James :)

Dear Dr. Floyd: I am a professor at Elon University. I just came across you excellent tutorial on xhtml and css. Would it be possible to get a copy of the section on assignments and their solutions? I am teaching a elective in servlets/jsp this spring and I thought that it would be great to start the course of with the students reviewing your tutorials on xhtml and css.

I stumbled across your website while searching for the solution to a .Net problem. Now I go to it regularly to learn because you have presented the platform so well. I am 65 and code a lot of intranet forms for the company. The switch to .Net has been a challenge for me. Your site has allowed me to settle into confident productivity instead of anxiety. Looks like many people know how good it is, and now I'm one of them. Thanks very much.

Please share my thanks and congratulations on the fabulous set of tutorials you generously share online.
I noticed that they are available for download. Don’t know how much revenue that produces, but would suggest that if you coupled the modules with video/screencasts of ‘how this works’, it would be a compelling value.
If you ever come to Toronto, call me for a real bottle of a great Merlot from the nearby Niagara Peninsula!

Dear Sir,
I was searching for something related to ASP.NET programming and came across your site.
Well done !
I started at Macon Junior College in Fall of 1970. It was interesting getting some help from a school that only had a paper-tape Telewriter in the Chemistry lab when I started :-)
I spent a few more years of college at UGA and Ga College in Milledgeville, then this Math major (son of a math teacher) got married and went to work. About six years and 2 small children later, I thought "O heck, let's finish that degree". So I did at Ga College with a double major in Math and Computer Science. Computer Science was a very young degree then. I've been working in IT for 24 years mostly in-house applications going through the phases of COBOL with Assembler to 3-GLs to extending 3rd party ERP systems... mostly back-end stored-procedure interface stuff. (Sorry for rattling on).
Lately, for personal development and use I've been learning ASP.NET 2.0.
Do you mind if I ask your opinion of the better server environment: ASP.NET vs PHP.
Thank you for your time and Best Wishes

Hi Kevin,
I am a new Programmer. You can call me novice in the field of programming. While starting off, I searched every possible site for learning ASP.net since I was told to make projects in ASP.Net.
Luckily, I chanced upon this site thanks to my colleague. Ever since, I have been hooked on to it. Of all the sites offering tutorials, yours is the best site. I have gone through all the topics in ASP.Net 1.1 thrice and I must say this site has helped me the most.
Even my Assistant Manager who has 8 years of programming experience was impressed. I must tell you that you have done a fabulous job.
Keep up the Good Work!

I want to thank you for posting such a fabulous tutorial site.
I have been reviewing the material on JavaScript and it is one of the best I have yet encountered.
You richly supply ample examples and the explanations are lucid and easy to understand. I love the way how you also demonstrate the code at work by allowing the viewer to click on buttons. Then, you follow up by explaining how the script works. This is an excellent feature and way to learn the subject.
I have learned a lot by applying the examples and studying the scripting codes.
I favor the animation tutorials. I love the way how you can animate and make seemingly still and static objects move. Hope you will add more of these in the short future.
I did find however, that some of the codes will only work for Internet Explorer and not other browsers. But this is certainly no fault of yours.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge with others. I can't say enough thank you.

Dr. Floyd,
I thoroughly enjoy your web development tutorials on the Macon State website. I have used them for reference a number of times. They are well written and sequences.
On your web application development page, you make mention that Visual Basic and C# should be thought of as scripting languages. I’m not sure I agree with that. Both VB and C# are used for more than creating web applications. They are both fully functional programming languages that can be used to create desktop applications and can do almost anything that JAVA can do. It’s true that both VB and C# rely on the .NET class libraries, but new classes can be created and objects extended. Similarly, JAVA also relies on a class library. The process for say instantiating a button or text box is similar in all three languages. You wrote that, “Their use is in tying together prebuilt components from, say, the .NET framework, moreso than in writing intricate processing details.” Although prebuilt components are used in VB and C#, they are far more powerful than for just doing that. It’s true that VB and C# Are compiled to an intermediary code (CLR) that then is converted to machine code, but JAVA does something similar.
Any how, I truly enjoy the tutorials and look forward to using them in the future.
Regards,
Adrian Gabor

Good morning Dr. Floyd,
I am a database programmer (mostly MS Access with some SQL Server) at the University of West Florida, Haas Center for Business Research and Economic Development. I have found it necessary to become a web developer to some degree because databases are on the web in a big way these days. Initially I wasn’t very enthusiastic about this transition. But I am slowly getting used to it. Anyhow I have read an awful lot of books on ASP.NET, CSS, XHTML, and JavaScript.
A few months ago I found the Web Development Tutorials at http://msconline.maconstate.edu/tutorials/. They are just outstanding. Explanations are clear and easy to follow, and the examples are superior. They illustrate concepts while avoiding the extraneous. I am buying the tutorials that are available in book form.
I am sure you have received a lot of praise, and I would like to add mine!
Thanks,

I am the chief web designer and a MCSE (also an engineer and MBA) at the Maryland Health Care Commission. I just wanted to tell you that I think your series of tutorials on web design are the absolute best I have ever seen. I had read numerous books on ASP.Net but never fully understood it until I read your tutorial online two years ago. The 2.0 version looks even more impressive. Your students very lucky to have someone that can present sometimes difficult concepts in such a clear, concise manner.
My question to you is this. Can I purchase a CD version of your tutorials? I would love to have a copy for reference with the live examples. Also do you have a print version of the tutorials to purchase?
Great job and I hope to hear from you. My personal email address is davidmitchell@comcast.net (Tel is (410) 404-7020) Please drop me a line or call. Again, thanks so much for a fantastic job. Happy Holidays!

Mr Adams, my name is Scott Cownie. I'm a solicitor with the Scottish Legal Aid Board in Edinburgh. We are a government body which funds court cases where the litigant cannot afford a lawyer.
I was hunting around on the internet for an answer to something which was puzzling me in this regard, and I came across your tutorial about contentEditable. What impressed me was the fact that it was the first article I had seen on the subject where the author had actually used graphic elements on the execCommand buttons instead of just B, I and so on. It makes it look more like a word processor.
Anyway, the reason I'm mailing you is that I would like to use the gifs in my own little project here and I am wondering if there are any copyright issues involved in doing so. We're a member of the Federation against Software Theft and I wouldn't want to go using the gifs if it is breaching anyone's copyright in them. I was also wanting to incorporate the code from the article to do with searching for strings, if that's OK.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

I really appreciate all the time that has been taken in preparing these tutorials and the corresponding assignments. I was wondering if you had PDF versions of these tutorials? The convenience of finding them online is great, but I personally like to have a manuscript that I can highlight and make notes in. Would it be possible to send me the PDF versions of the XHTML, JScript/DHTML, ASP.Net, ASP and XML tutorials???
Please let me know. Thanks again for GREAT tutorials.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Let me introduce myself, my name is BJ Cameron and I work for the Payson Center for International Development and Technology Transfer at Tulane University. We try to find low cost technology alternatives for our partners in developing countries.
One project we are working on is developing a "TALM Toolkit" http://payson.tulane.edu/talm for individuals working in Non-Profit Organizations and educational institutions in Africa and Latin America.
This Toolkit will enhance their training capacity and ability to use multimedia in their courses and seminars. Finally, the project is aimed at aiding people in distributing their information to the larger public.
One of the tools we will be using is Windows Media Encoder. I found your tutorial on the Internet at http://home.maconstate.edu/dadams/Tutorials/AV/ and I think it is quite informative and educational.
Some questions:
Are you going to continue to make it available on your website?
If you are going to continue to make it available, would it be possible for us to distribute for free (via CD-ROM) to non-profit organizations and educational institutions in Latin America and Africa, where internet connections are variable at best? Of course, we would give your company full credit and anything else you would require us to do so.
Thank you for your time and hopefully my questions have not been too intrusive. Let me know if you have any questions for us and I look forward to your answers and dialog.
Thank you,
William 'BJ' Cameron

I just wanted to take a brief moment to compliment you on your 'Web Development Tutorials' site. I have found it a very informative resource for myself as well as my colleagues. I especially like the tutorial on ASP.net as we are currently attempting to migrate to the .net framework. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Dear Sir,
I recently had the pleasure of reading through some of your tutorials available publicly on the maconstate college website. I wanted to email you to commend you on the clear, precise and logical layout and execution of the tutorials. I was particularly impressed with audio/video streaming tutorials and learnt several important new pieces of information.
Thank you for your time and efforts, regards,

Dear Professor Adams,
I can't thank you enough for your on-line tutorial for Windows Media
Player. I'm developing some CME courses for doctors and I've made some big
jumps in my knowledge in the week since I found your site. I've referenced
some of my code below in case you want to use anything in your site. No
attribution needed. Do you know of any "streaming Media in Education Users
Group"? If not, we should start one! Best wishes, Howard Groveman

Mr. Adams,
Just a quick note to let you know how much I have enjoyed your tutorials.
If I assume you are a teacher you must be a real good teacher.
I'm a vb programmer and I have been searching the web for a while now to
find a good entry into web programming/technologies.
Just found it.
Many thanks,

Hi,
I have read a coupla tutorials on the net about asp. I read visual basic web
programming and i have never I say never come accross turials and
information as informative as the ones your turials offer. The explanation
is so clear. THE APPROACH you use to introduce a concept is what i like. To
teach something you first need to tell somebody why that thing is necessary
and this is what you do. The properties Response.form and the Quesrystring,
I read about them in a coupla books but nevwr understood them as a VB
programmer i fully understand and appreciate your tutorials from the bottom
of my heart
I found your turials via Google.com
THANK YOU

Dr. Adams,
Mrs. Riley informed me of your web tutorials that are online in our class last night. I take her Intro to HTML (3261) class. I develop pages for a contracting firm here on Robins, AFB. But what I know is through reading books and hard knocks. Let me just tell you that I think you have a great set of tutorials. It's a resource that will be very handy with what I do at work. I hope it's not just for MSC students. If you tell me it's okay, there are some developers here at work that would like to use it. I'm going to try my best to take your web classes. What would you advise as my next web class to take after Intro to HTML. I work with Active Server pages everyday, but like I said, I've not had any formal training. I don't really want to take another basic sort of HTML class like 3261 again unless it's just required.
But once again, the main purpose of my email is to say thanks for the great time and effort you put into getting the tutorials together. It's one of the better tutorials online that I've seen. I look forward to sitting in your classes.

DR. Adams,
I am a new JavaScript programmer, and am developing software for use in Internet retail commerce. For my systems to function properly they must operate in a cross domain environment. So far I have solved most problems that I have encountered but one has proven particularly sticky. Many Internet merchants display grouped select lists, with the content of list B being dependent on the selection made in list A. In other words the Merchant system utilizing the onchange event for list A populates list B. Only then can an item on list B be selected. (If I over explain for a man of your credentials please forgive me.) My challenge is to programmatically select an item in list A (cross domain) in such a way as to trigger the onchange event that causes list B to be populated allowing me then to select an item in list B. I am comfortable with formatting the code for cross domain generally, but can't figure out how to trigger the event. Any guidance you can give will be most appreciated.

By the way
As a child (many, many years ago) I lived in Dublin Ga. so I am somewhat familiar with your "neck of the woods" I attended a public school there named Condor High School. Actually 1 through 12. I doubt that it any longer exists.
Again thank you for your help

Hi,
Something I noticed, a small inconsistency within the ASP tutorial, under eCommerce Development (General Site Design) within the diagram you call a page 'confirm.asp' however in the narrative that follows beneath you refer to it as salesorder.asp. Either those are one of the same pages, or you've ommitted a page from the diagram, but i expect the former to be true. Also, because of the frame structure for the tutorial it makes it
rather cumbersome to print, would it be asking too much for a version of the tutorial in .pdf format :0)
Kind Regards,
Lewis Sheridan

PS. Very good tutorial, logically, well written, and practical. I think you should write a book if you haven't done so already.

Thank you.

Dear Sir,
I've been following your excellent ASP tutorials, and its 'eCommerce
Development' section in particular. However, at some point, I noticed that
the code for the 'CreditCheck.asp' is not available. Could you possibly
make that code available, so that I (and certainly a lot more people) can
test the whole Website on my own machine?
Best regards,
