In high school, we were required to make a WordPress site that acted as our online journalism portfolio. There were no requirements regarding the look of the page, so it was a simple click and post experience as most of us used preexisting themes. This time around, I dug much deeper into the Dashboard of […]
This ain’t gonna age well, but whatever. I very much think I’ll be in the minority for this, But I find setting up WordPress being the most difficult web-related thing I’ve ever done. Since I had a little bit of web-design background, I thought that changing/removing some pictures would be as easy as changing a […]
The title of this post refers to the image I chose as the “logo” for my website… I had a great deal of difficulty setting up my personal WordPress site. First of all, there must be a better way to get to the admin part of the site than by going to Reclaim Hosting, logging […]
Judging by my title, I’m sure you might be able to guess where my blog post is going. Overall, I wouldn’t be able to say that my process of building my website (which you can access here) went as smoothly as I originally thought. I found the overall process to be quite clunky, and the […]
The first website I ever created was a gaming website, as in it was a website wherein I inserted as many Miniclip game plug-ins as I possibly could and then declared myself the true Miniclip. It was 2010, I was 9 years old, and people theoretically still used MySpace. I cannot remember the URL (nor […]
Wow making a website really does throw me back to years yonder, when I just found out that I could have my own space on the web (at the time, those sites tended to be pretty free. It does feel weird to have to pay for this site but I guess that WordPress has way […]
Finally, I have a space to put all my theories about mushrooms. oshanno.com is here! Building the website was kind of fun for me, I liked looking through themes and customizing it. I struggled with the CSS portion of it though, and didn’t manage to figure out how to get a custom cursor. Not yet, […]
I’m excited to have my own website for the first time. Part of it is the ability to post content on it, which I’m sure we will be doing for class, but also so I can explore the various ways in which the site can be customized and edited with functions like Simple Custom CSS […]
Making my website was frustrating. I had a hard time logging in and then a hard time with the css. I just got frustrated with it quickly. I don’t know if it’s because I was in a particularly bad mood when I decided to start working on it or if it’s a problem with the […]
I have always wanted to create a personal blog to share my comments and interpretations on art pieces. As an art history major student, I need to write in order to learn and retrospect. I felt rewarding when setting up my website following the instructions. However, I do not expect this website could attract more […]
Making a Resume with HTML I learnt that the best way to learn coding is applying it to something that matters to you. For me, I took this opportunity to create my own resume using HTML codes after watching the tutorials, it was an addicting and fun experience. Hence, Should Everyone Code? The discourse divide […]
While I think that learning to code is helpful, I think that we should accept that some people will have an elementary and cursory understanding of it rather than idealize a world in which everyone is equipped to design a complex program on their own. I am skeptical of the vocationalism, which Kirschenbaum is also […]
It’s fair to say that I agree with both Kirschenbaum and Donahue’s articles that it is useful for humanities students to learn how to code. Donahue, however, reflects most accurately how I feel about how this cross discipline work should function, stating …all who consider themselves scholars of the humanities should realize that the discourse of […]
In this course’s introduction to coding, I had the opportunity to refresh my knowledge and abilities in programming. In high school I had the opportunity to take a computer programming class. A class in which we spent an entire term learning how to code using Java. My experience with the tutorials offered by HTML Dog […]
When I hear “digital” my mind immediately goes to coding and the computer sciences, so I was surprised to hear that some people do not deem programming necessary for this field. I believe that learning to code can be a useful tool to understanding programming and how that relates to the digital humanities. What I […]
I have leaned toward the Humanities in my interests for the majority of my educational career. I enjoyed math and science, but when given the choice, I would often find myself leaning toward more Humanities-based pursuits, especially in the arts and storytelling. It wasn’t until this past fall that I chose to take a Computer […]
As technology has become more important in everyday life, the demand and hype around programming has exploded. Kids are being taught to code at younger ages, and the expectations placed on new graduates by employers now expect people in non-technical roles to have technical skills. Our recent readings and week of class have focused on […]
I think everyone should learn to code, regardless of whether you are studying the computer sciences or the humanities. This blog is a direct response to Evan Donahue’s blog A “Hello World” Apart (why humanities students should NOT learn to program). I don’t agree with what he said because of his definition of engagement. In […]
It feels like with every passing day technology is finding new ways to incorporate itself into our lives. However, our understanding of such technology has been slow to catch up with the pace at which it is being produced. This is due in part to the ideas and feelings that most people have about coding. […]
I believe it is no good for DH subject to requiring its followers to learn coding techniques. Why? Because coding is just like a language, which nowadays could be replaced by an online translator. It is a fact that we haven’t got the ability to develop a thorough enough interface that can handle all kinds […]
Coding is our future. No matter how I try to work around that statement or spin it to find a counterargument, nothing can truly contest that fact. And it is a fact — not just in terms of our futures as members of the work force, but as members of a world whose various disciplines […]
Having no previous knowledge on coding I find the prospect of learning code daunting. But being able to write code is quickly becoming one of the most important skill sets to have in modern education. Therefore, I support that coding is an important skill in humanities, however, I do not think it is necessary. In […]
Should humanities students learn how to code? My answer is, yes! Not only because digitalization is a future trend, but also students could learn a different way to think. What’s more, as Matthew G. Kirschenbaum mentioned, all programming entails world-making which align the function of writing novels or creating movies. These three reasons make coding […]
HTML Dog, a website that offers tutorials in HTML, CSS, and Javascript, provides people with the opportunity to learn how to code. I feel that coding is important for anyone to learn, as creating/maintaining websites is becoming a very marketable skill. Although it may not seem obvious, coding and the humanities have a lot on […]
There is no doubt about it: coding is a useful, important tool in the modern era. But does everyone need to know how to code? I say no: just like medical knowledge is certainly something the world shouldn’t be without, not everyone needs to be a doctor. And while of course it’s going to be […]
As the world becomes more technologically advanced, there’s an increasing push for kids and students to start learning to write code at younger and younger ages. The image showed above is one of the top apps on the iOS store, and there’s way more available besides Lightbot that are accessible to people with smartphones and […]
I believe it is a good idea that everyone, not just humanities students, learn to code. The modern era is inarguably moving into the digital sphere. Programming will form the backbone of this new world in everyone’s day to day lives, whether you are involved in the tech industry or not. Considering this inevitability, I […]
I believe that learning to code can be very useful to humanities students, but is not essential in that one can be a strong student of the humanities with no coding knowledge. Similar to learning a foreign language, having an understanding of coding can only be beneficial and would never function as a liability for […]
What is the goal of the project? The project is made to educate students about: Trade and diplomacy: exploring Angkor’s market place and trade between the East and Southeast Asia. Climate variability: Angkor’s relationship with water and its hydraulic system Political structure: effects of Suryavarman II’s reign in the form of architecture and design. Virtual […]
While I agree that learning to code in any sufficiently used higher level programming language can create or open up “new worlds or universes” per se, humanities students should not be required to learn how to code. First off, what do I mean by new worlds and universes? In the realistic sense, coding is definitely […]
