| 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. Remember that I record all my classes and capture notes on the Smartboard. These are available to you under Audio and Smartboard. |
| HELP schedule | To contact Joe use moocowoftech@gmail.com. He will be available from 9-2 on Mon thru Fri for open labs at this address:
Collaborate For hours outside of that he will be using Microsoft Teams which is available to you through Office 365. Send him an email from your bcc account with the classes you want to connect to and you will get a link to join. Here is a brief run down on how it works and what to expect: Microsoft Teams overview There is access to WiFi from your car under the solar canopies on the Fall River Campus. An ex-student/SI, David Bourgeois has volunteered to help students with questions in the evening. You can contact him at dbourgeois14@bristolcc.edu |
| Final | Final Exam due on Wednesday, May 13th by midnight. The final will probably take more than 2 hours because you will find yourself doing research and problem solving - but just think, you do not have to study for the exam!!! It is open note/open books. Remember the status sheet that I posted last week is a requirement. I do not correct the final unless I get the status sheet. It is my way of making sure your records match my records. If there is a problem, I will contact you. |
| Week #14/#15 Week of April 27th/May 4th |
Catch up weeks! I will be posting information about the final this week. You will have a week to do it. Required Status Sheet Homework should be passed in by the 11th (the last day of classes). Given the circumstances this semester you can pass in a few things after that. Let me know what is happening! |
| Week #13 Week of April 20th |
Some websites to look at about marketing your website: 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 From SBA 30 Free Ways to Market your Web Site Market your online business for free 33 Free Places to Promote Your Website Online 10 ways to market your new website Some of these articles will help you prepare for the final. There will probably be a question about placement, about searching, about attracting people to your site about evaluating a site etc. Some research now will help when you attack the final next week. Let me know if you find some dead links. One of the topics to consider is getting good placement of your page. Here are some resources I have found, but you should do some searching for other links: Promoting web site Promote your web site Less obvious ways to promote Techniques for placement (Ceasar Cabral) Using articles to promote Search Engine Watch SEO Guide SEO on Wiki SEO Google Placement Placement (old but still some interesting information) For information, read: about robots.txt Other things to look at for this week: 1)Web ethics: Resources on Web and computer ethics 2)Searching: Yahoo advanced search Google searching I would also like you to look at some sites that deal with evaluating the information you find at a web site: Evaluation from Cornell Evaluation from Berkeley Evalution from Ohio Evaluation from Maryland Interesting coding notes/example: Cake example Assignments to turn in: Real Estate form: This should have a picture of the house and several rooms in the house that you can click through - you can find images to use or you can do drawings (can be my level of drawings). 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. In designing this page, include some columns and rows to contain different type of information. See my examples in week 10. To clarify, click through means you click on something to bring up the next image. I do not want all the images just displayed. I also want you to figure out what to charge for the house. You can use any numbers you want but take into account the type of house, lot size, the year built, the number of bedrooms, number of baths etc. For example under a quarter acre would add an amount, a quarter to a half would add an amount, half to one would add an amount and then an amount for each acre after that. Another example would be checking the house type. I do not care what numbers you set, I just want a bunch of testing to come up with the price. Check back! |
| Week #12 Week of April 13th |
I would like you to do some research about CSS3. I have a few examples to get you started. CSS3 Samples Check back! Assignments to turn in: 1) Make a page that uses 10 different examples of CSS3. 2) I want you to set up a quiz of 5 questions following the structure in this example - the first page of the Quiz assignment notes gives a good picture of the layout as does the pdf. You need to change the questions but I want two true/false and the rest multiple choice. For one of the multiple choice I want check boxes where all are true, for one I want radio buttons with one true and the last one is your call. Extra credit if you use some DOM. JSQuiz.pdf Quiz assignment notes I put the Real Estate assignment here by mistake - it should be part of week #13. Check back! |

Officially there are no classes and no assignments this week. However, I decided to post this weeks work anyway so you can get
started on it if you choose to. I feel that choosing to do the work this week will spread the work out better and make the end of
the semester easier no matter how it is handled. I will keep putting out the work for each week as originally planned to give you
more flexibility. Late points will not be taken. Again, it is your choice whether you do the work this week or leave it for next week. I made these in the last few days so there may be typos or mistakes in what I say - please let me know if you find some.

If you look at my examples you will also see that the opening information is different. Assignments to turn in:(All exercises must be done by everyone) Exercise: First: I want you to work on circle, rectangle and polygon. I want you to download an image - you can use something from my site or find something yourself. Once you have downloaded and sized it to the size you want to work with, I want you to map the image.

My husband is having emergency surgery this week so I will not be in for class. I have asked my SI, Joseph Fletcher to be there for class on Monday to help you get logged in to cisweb. There is a lot of support and you should definitely use it if you have questions or encounter a problem. We are hear to help you succeed! Please take advantage of that. To repeat: If you need help with something, now would be the time to ask your questions! Uploading to the Web: We got to this this week - earlier than usual. So here are notes on using cisweb. In my notes I talk about cisweb.bristol.mass.edu. Things have changed and you should now use cisweb.bristolcc.edu and the port number should be 220. You can also check the notes on the Smartboard and the accompanying audio as well as the notes below. Again: To load things up on the Internet, we use WINSCP. Please read the WINSCP and cisweb information: (note that in my examples I use cisweb.bristol.mass.edu as the host and 22 as the port, we are now using cisweb.bristolcc.edu as the host and 220 as the port. Here is information about using cisweb and WINSCP at BCC Talks more specifically about portfolio We will be looking at making a portfolio later in the semester. If you want to download WINSCP at home, you can find it at this address. WINSCP Remember the host is cisweb.bristolcc.edu and the port is 220. The goal this week is to look at uploading to the server, Links and start Tables. The information about Links and tables is under HTML5/HTML5 sample code. Here are the HTML examples including links and tables Some notes that I did a while back because of snow days: introCSSandHTML.pdf Introduction to CSS embedded in HTML introlinks.pdf Introduction to links We will also look at uploading to cisweb.

Your first class will be on Monday, September 20th. There is no required book for this course, but you might find it helpful to look up some resources and tutorials on HTML5 and CSS as well as JavaScript (later in the course) because we will start to look at using HTML in its various versions when we start the course.
