About Me
My name is Michael Halbert. I have lived in California all my life. I have traveled throughout most of the USA. Growing up, my parents took me camping at several places. These include Yosemite, Yellow Stone, Mammoth, Lake Tahoe, and Colorado Springs. There are many hobbies I enjoy doing. Some of these include writing poetry, playing the piano, singing in a choir, hiking, swimming, and playing games (ALL types, NOT just computer games).
My goal in life is to become a Computer Programmer. That is, I want to create web sites and games. Currently I will be a Junior at University of La Verne (ULV) Fall 2007. I have been taking classes on different computer languages for three semesters now. Before I started taking computer classes, I taught myself how to program on a TI86 Graphing Calculator. In my sophomore year of high school, I had already began creating computer games for my calculator using the BASIC language on the calculator.
About My Web Site
I created this web site using XHTML. Each page is divided into several sections using <div></div>. For example, the Header section up above is one section, the navigation bar with its buttons is another section, the content of the page is a third section, and the footer with the copyright and email info is the last section. All colors, fonts, buttons, links, etc... is created using a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). There is a CSS document for the main sections of my web site along with one for each page containing inline frames <iframe></iframe>.
The pages using inline frames are the Poetry page and the C++ page. All the poems are styled to fit inside the inline frame using a CSS file. All files and descriptions of my games on the C++ page are also styled to fit inside the inline frame using a CSS file. The 'navigation for the inline frames' and the 'inline frames' are organized using a <table></table> with one row and two columns. This way these pages will maintain the same look on all browsers that support CSS and inline frames.
