Mike's Launch Pad

This page contain links to places that interest me.
My first web experiences were guided by using cool resources created by others. I'm referring to link pages found on other people's sites. In the first few months of my web experience I used the links from these three sites by fellow music instructors. They're great!! Check them out!

• Dan Mitchell's Site.
  Dan is a colleague who teaches music at De Anza College. Dan has been into this stuff since day one and has assembled a great list of links. I've used his internet links to blindly leap into cyberspace several times. Dan's site has ALOT of other fun stuff, check it out.

• Mark Anderson's Home Page
  This link takes you to Mark Anderson's site (Mark is a colleague music instructor at Foothill College). Mark teaches electronic music, recording arts, jazz ensembles, music history and other courses. He also plays trombone in one of the hottest salsa bands in the bay area, Orquestra Avance. As they say, he's got it going on. There are plenty of great links at his site.

• WebMaster Homepage
  If your are new to the Web and want an overview, check this out. It also has links to other important informational sites about HTML and other web issues.

• W3 consortium Homepage
  This the W3 consortium site with alot of great documents on HTML 3.2 and other links.

• Mike's HTML template
  This links to a page that contains alot of example HTML code. I use it for copy and paste HTML code which I later modify for specific purposes. There are many better and more comprehensive example pages like this on the Web, some of which can be found via the Webmaster page's links. My HTML template is good for a beginner/intermediate HTML/Web programmer such as myself. (in other words, it doesn't have much of the REALLY cool stuff, only the garden variety commands. As a result, I've grown to love salads.).

• Mike's incomplete HTML Course
  I wrote this course for my Daughter. It's not completely finished but most of the basics are included.

The links provided on this page jump to other sites of interest to me and most include many additional links.
