4 Steps To Success In Web Development
If you are planning to become a serious player in the webdesign world, you should now
what to learn and discover. Here's a short list that gives you an overview of your needs.
1. Learn HTML
Before you start creating websites you should master HTML. This is the key element to
even start publishing documents on the web. This sounds pretty obvious but there are some
elements that you should understand like the label element which will add great usability to
a form.
2. Master Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
I can't stress this enough. DO NOT USE TABLES FOR YOUR LAYOUT!
Is it clear? Don't, just don't. Why? Because they work against you instead of for you. You
can have so much more control of your layout, design and colors if you use 100% CSS.
1. CSS is easy
2. CSS is fast to create
3. CSS is lightning fast when your website loads
4. CSS is easy to modify
So forget table layouts and start using stylesheets. You will really like the things you can
accomplish once you master them.
3. Learn A Server Side Language
This is needed to make dynamic websites like forums. PHP and ASP are a great example.
You will need to understand what you can do with these languages and start using them.
Without a server side language your websites are really hard to maintain and will give you a
hard job in creating an efficient website structure.
4. Learn A Database Language
I recommend learning MySQL since this is an open source database and is installed on
most hosting providers in combination with PHP.
A database is nothing else then some tables with data. You can select data with queries
like:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID = 3;
Now everything is selected from table when the ID equals three. It's not hard to understand
SQL, you just need to know how it works. PHPMyAdmin can help you a lot when you are
creating your database.
2. So, start with step 1, and stick with CSS as long as you don't master it. CSS is huge, and
you will love it once you know how it works.
For application development you can't do without a language like PHP and a database like
MySQL.
Hiring a web designer to come up with the custom solution that you need can set you back
a few thousand bucks. But you can do the whole thing yourself and make it drag and drop

Careers In Radiologic Technology (x-ray)
The field of radiologic (x-ray) technology offers an excellent career option to those
interested in the allied health field. An x-ray technician, or radiologic technologist, is the
individual responsible for performing diagnostic x-ray procedures in hospitals, physician
offices, and outpatient imaging centers.
The training period for an x-ray technologist is usually 2-4 years in an accredited college or
hospital based radiologic technology program. Training will be split between classroom
instruction and hands on clinical training in a healthcare setting. The x-ray student will
obtain a thorough working knowledge of radiographic physics and anatomy, radiation safety,
proper patient positioning and technique, quality control, and darkroom skills. In addition,
the student will receive instruction in infection control, sterile technique, body mechanics,
and patient privacy. The successful student will also possess good communication skills and
demonstrate an ability to quickly adapt to different situations.
On completion of training, the x-ray technologist will be eligible to take a national registry
examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. This is a
comprehensive examination which will address many of the skills required of the x-ray
technologist. Successfully passing the registry examination will allow the student to add the
designation RT to their name to signify that they are credentialed as a registered radiologic
technologist. Many states will also require a state licensure for radiologic technologists. The
requirements for state licensure and continuing education will vary from state to state,
however licensure is generally necessary for employment in states that require it.
The employment prospects for radiologic technologists will tend to remain strong due to the
3. health care needs of our aging population. While most x-ray technicians are employed by
hospitals, a significant number are employed by freestanding imaging centers and
outpatient clinics. Others may find employment in private physician offices such as
orthopedic or urologic practices, portable x-ray services, or in sales support.
The x-ray technician has a number of opportunities for advancement by acquiring
proficiency in specialized diagnostic imaging areas. Among them are MRI, Cat Scan,
Mammography, and interventional radiology. These fields require specialized training that
may be acquired through on the job training or additional college or trade school based
programs. The technician will be eligible to take an additional registry examination for the
specialties listed above that will identify them as proficient in that area. Generally speaking
the more specialties an x-ray technologist can demonstrate proficiency in, the greater the
employment options are.
