at 3:00 I will also be in K101. If there is a change in rooms, you can find me in my office, K112. I have had some questions about how to take pictures of screens. The answer can be found at PrintScreen Finish looking at the examples under XHTML -Intro and look at the second PowerPoint presentation. Look at the examples under XHTML and then under the category CSS and formatting and look at the third PowerPoint presentation. Be sure you note what validates and what does not validate as you experiment and try validating with strict and with transitional. You should read something about the difference between strict and transitional validating. Validating issues will continue to haunt us! Post a site about it on delicious! Note that I have not updated the PowerPoint to include the 4 lines of code at the top. I have updated most of the examples. I also comment on validation when I give you the list of examples. Portfolio information: Here is information about using cisweb at BCC Talks more specifically about portfolio Here is some information on CSS: CSS Intro This is not an assignment to pass in it is just something that might be helpful to understanding Assignments to turn in: XHTML pages Please pass in via email next week - should pass in the .html version or you can send me a link if you load it to your site. |
| Week #1 September 7th |
Look at the examples under XHTML - Getting started at:
XHTML samples. Also look at the first PowerPoint that explains the examples. It is located at XHTML presentations. Note that these sites can be reached by clicking on XHTML sample code and Presentations (XHTML) under Site Resources on the left side of the CIS44 home page. Next you should look at the first 6 examples under XHTML intro. In addition you should start to look at the second PowerPoint that explains the introduction samples. You only need to go through the PowerPoint to see the explaination for the first 6 examples. You should familiarize yourself with the site so you can locate information. In the assignment I gave you two lines of code to put at the beginning of your XHTML code, a more complete version of this is explained below. These four lines of code which I usually cover a little later in the semester will help you get a clean validation: Code with first 4 lines of XHTML View the source and use the first four lines at the top of your XHTML for good validation. Remember, the fourth line includes html. Assignments to turn in: Although assignments are frequently posted at the beginning of the week, some of the assignments cannot be done until you have covered all the material in the posting. Survey of past experience - must be completed by all students Notice that there is a class delicious site. I want you to post the addresses of the articles you think are useful in the design and development of web sites on the delicious site to help your classmates. There will be a grade for particpation with the delicious site. First XHTML assignment For extra credit you can work on validating the code using the W3C validator. W3C validator Don't forget to change the encoding to Western Europe if you do not use the first four lines of XHTML code I referred to above. Please note: I will send emails to your BCC account, please be sure to check! Check back several times, I sometimes add something so you should check out the schedule as the week progresses! |
