| Schedule Session | Assignments due in the week after the assignment is given unless otherwise stated. Note that the audio and Smartboard presentations for each class are posted within a couple of days. I may add some things during the week, so double check the schedule each week! Inclass exercises are still assignments and must be done by everyone if they appear under assignments. Please keep copies of all work you submit until you receive your final grade at the end of the semester. When I taught on line, I recorded all my classes and captured notes on the Smartboard. These are available to you under Audio and Smartboard. Please do not change any of the passwords we have given you. I need to be able to get to your site as does the IT staff if there is a problem. |
| HELP schedule | I am available by request (give me a few time options) especially while we
get other support in place. I have been meeting with a lot of students that request it, maybe something you should consider doing.
You can email me with a couple of times you can meet and usually one of those will work. I have send out the information to contact me on Zoom. I will post availability but you can also set something up with me. Downloading WinSCP on your PC by SI Joe Fletcher Where you used to use (http://view.bristolcc.edu/) you should now use (https://vdi.bristolcc.edu/).

| Week #15 Week of December 11th |
INFORMATION: Please get me your work and status sheet as soon possible and it would be helpful to send me the status sheet now and again at the end so I can tell you what you owe soon and give you time to complete it. Don't forget to fix assignments that came back to fix and resubmit.I will not start to correct before 9AM on Sat the 16th so I will take things passed in Sat morning prior to 9AM if you let me know. Check back! |
| Week #14 Week of December 4th |
INFORMATION: There is no final this semester, but there is a status sheet that must be filled out and passed in for me to calculate your grade. This is our way of insuring that your records and mine match. If you say you have passed something in, but I do not have it, I will contact you for a resubmission.Required Status Sheet The last day of classes is December 15th - I need all your work sent in to me by that date. Please pass in things when you complete them as opposed to waiting until the end (you will loose points if it all comes in at the end!...just to emphasize). ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: I need you to write a paper that discusses how you would try to get a good placement for your web page and how you would attract people interested in your topic to your site.EXTRA CREDIT: Write a HTML/CSS/JavaScript to choose work that you want done around your home (use a dropdown) and return the price per hour for that job. Have another text box where the number of hours will be entered and return the estimated cost. The Southworth Nursery example will be a good model to look at. Southworth Nursery I want an image or some kind of logo on the form and I want CSS and DOM used effectively. This or something similar could be included in your second project to get a lot of extra credit. Check back! |
| Week #13 Week of November 27th |
INFORMATION: I am still sick with this cold or whatever (at least it is not Covid). I am starting to feel better so I will try to get caught up. This week I am asking you to do some research on what makes a good web site and how to attract people to your web site and how to work with search engines. I am also interested in good placement of your page to make it come up in response to searches.Some websites to look at about marketing your website (variety of years). I would like you to do some research and find your own information. SEO 2020 9 Ways to Advertise Your Website Secrets and tips on promoting Promote your website Marketing strategy 2016 Marketing your Web Site From webmarketingtoday EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: Interesting coding notes/example: Cake example (posted earlier)ASSIGNMENTS TO DO: Real Estate form: This should have a picture of the house and several rooms in the house that you can click through (To clarify, click through means you click on something to bring up the next image). You can find images to use or you can do drawings (can be my level of drawings). I do not want all the images just displayed. Your page should include address, price, a drop boxes where you have type (single family, two family, condo etc), a lot size, heating, cooling, year built, agent (another drop down box), number of bedrooms, number of baths. Use radio buttons and drop down boxes as you design. This calculation part is not exactly realistic - I want you to check the information entered about the house and determine the price which you should also post. You can use any numbers you want but take into account things like lot size, type of house etc. Pick at least seven fields and use them to determine the price.Check back! |

| Week #11 Week of November 13th |
INFORMATION: I decided to put out next weeks assignment before the long weekend because I have a busy weekend.November 13th is the last day that students can withdraw from their classes. If you are far behind you should do a realistic analysis and decide if you want to withdraw. If you have questions, we can talk!!! You should also talk to financial aid if you have financial aid and you want to be sure you understand the impact of failing and the impact of withdrawing. Remember there are difficulties with document.write because it waits until JavaScript loops are done to show information. I put out examples with alert to show a possible remedy. This is really a continuation where we are finishing up many of the basics of JavaScript. Be sure to look at: 1) all function examples, 2) the examples under loops, 3) examples under other which includes check boxes and radio buttions 4) arrays and DOM. EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT: Interesting coding notes/example: Cake examplePOWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS: I made these quickly so there may be typos or mistakes in what I say - please let me know if you find some.
