> so then to apply the css styles I want, I have to make the classes/ids and find the part of the master page that controls that part I want to edit and then add that class/ID to it? that's basically all there is to it right?

Yep. Brower dev tools inspector is your friend. Also these:

>the thing I don't like about oslo is basically they are putting the content from the left nav on the top bar which isn't what I want

YES!! I have the same beef. alas...sigh. Just make a layout that hides the left nav if you dont want it and add the css there if you can't get it to load with alt pub site css (pretty sure nothing here changed).

>[nav questions]

Yes. But go to Site Settings --> Navigation and look at the terms/structure there.
Current Nav = Quick Launch = Left Nav
Global Nav = Top Nav = In seattle, gone from Oslo, confusingly replaced by imposter with little warning

W3Schools is a fantastic resource for coding the actual site.

We used this book in my Website design & Development class (Computer Science major) in Univeristy. Quite good for the money.

I found this book phenomenally helpful for labs. Not to mention I only had a very rudimentary understanding of MPLS before reading it. I'd have paid a considerable amount more than a tenner for it, considering the amount of useful info.

  Please share your essay once you're done, I'd like to read it.

Evil by Design Its much more mundane than it sounds but very useful.

> WAHH is still updated with newer editions

I tried again and can't find anything newer than the 2011 2nd edition. Do you have a newer Amazon link, publication year, or something for a newer edition of WAHH?

I did find newer works in the same series (1, 2, 3, 4), but not an update to WAHH.

The Browser Hacker's Handbook. http://smile.amazon.com/Browser-Hackers-Handbook-Wade-Alcorn/dp/1118662091

If people don't mention that, they probably couldn't get into a modern computer network if they tried. This book is fundamental to understanding the modern landscape of hacking and to understand the future of it.

The user is the browser, now. It's almost a whole new OS with applications and environments, controls of its own and I almost never see people mention it. Maybe because it's brand new, all the more reason to get it.

If you actually want to know how to exploit a system from the outside-in, get this book. If you want a power trip and to read code you'll likely never use outside of your own lab all day, get something else.

Reas this book: Evil by Design

I went through my whole CS degree struggling with programming untill I used this book. It was for a Web Development course but this is when it all clicked for me.

I cannot stress how awesome this book is. The book starts you out buidling an ASP website with a bunch of C# code behind it. You just go through it and you learn a ton. Give it a try.
