JON DUCKETT

I received my copy of ’HTML & CSS - design and build websites’ by Jon Duckett yesterday. I’ve only read the first few pages but I can already say it’s an excellent book. I’m a complete newbie with HTML and CSS so I wanted to find a book which could teach me the basics. When I found this book on Amazon I immediately purchased it and I’m glad I did so because this book teaches you the fundamentals in a very comprehensible and simple way. It is well structured, easy and fun to read, and has many great visual examples. A must have for rookies!

29 SPØRGSMÅL

I’m currently reading one of my schoolbooks, ’29 Spørgsmål - En moderne retorik til planlægning af kommunikation’ by Jan Krag Jacobsen, which is actually quite interesting. Obviously, since I’m reading it when school hasn’t even started yet and I still have vacation. I just wanted to skim through it to get an idea what I’m getting myself into and suddenly I found myself reading it thoughtfully while taking notes. One of the reasons I find the book interesting is because it uses many examples and scenarios from the television- and film world. And that was what I occupied myself with before. Hey, they even mention David Lynch’s name who is my favourite director. If that is not enough to get all exited about there is also a chapter where they mention the narrative model of Aristotle including ‘tragedy’ and ‘comedy’. First of all I can once again draw the berettermodel {in English?} and afterwards talk about the myths of Medea and Oedipus. A bit of Lynch and classical studies doesn't harm anyone! Now I’ll put ‘The Lumineers’ on repeat, drink some tea and finish this book :-)
