Cascading Style Sheet assignment |
| Week #8 Assignments Week of July 22nd |
We are pushing ahead to JavaScript - unfortunately in the summer there is no
extra time, so we need to just keep going! Hopefully there will be a little
time at the end... First, we will start JavaScript events. You should be finding a tutorial on the Web or acquiring a book on JavaScript - I give you examples, but you really need to have a reference. I wish I could tell you that I have found a good book - I am still looking - parts of this one or that one are good, but... Start looking at the examples and start looking at the first PowerPoint presentation on JavaScript (note at one point I refer to licks, I mean clicks). Also note that some refer to old versions of code. I am in the process of revising them but you may get to one before I do. You should make sure your cover JavaScript events very completely. The assignment will only go through events. Looking ahead: Start looking at the regular JavaScript examples down through those about time. Assignments to turn in: CSS and JavaScript events assignment Continue working on your Web Site. |
| Week #9 Assignments Week of July 29th |
It is important that you find a source of information on JavaScript - your really
need a text or a tutorial from the Web. I give you examples but you need to have
something else to reference. I wish I could tell you that I have found a good book -
I am still looking - parts of this one or that one are good, but... Your should work through the JavaScript examples through the one that says Another for loop (try in both browsers). Go further if you have the time - check the PowerPoint and alternative text or tutorial for information on if statements, loops and functions. Assignments to turn in: JavaScript problems Continue working on your Web Site. |
| Week #10 Week of August 5th |
Keep looking at the JavaScript examples and checking with tutorials or books to make
sure you understand how the JavaScript is working. Please note that I inserted a
few under Math to show using the cancel and a few about the DO...WHILE loop. You
should look at the examples through the one about gather random numbers to give you ideas
about how to develop the quiz (this weeks homework assignment). There is no exact
model - however a lot of the examples illustrate some of the code that can be incorporated.
The JavaScript language elements you should have looked at to this point are: events, if, while, do, for, functions (including passing and receiving data), using forms to handle data, prompts and other components of the language you find in the examples. You should also understand the concepts of windows.documents. etc. and the relationship between HTML and JavaScript. Assignments to turn in: JavaScript quiz assignment You should be getting me the address for your web page sometime soon... |
| Week #11 Assignments Week of August 12th |
The end is in site... This is the last big assignment - just a few small things and

The final must be passed in 4:00 on Monday, August 26th. All students must take the
final whether or not they will complete the course on time. The final is given on
the honor system and I trust you to respect that - the only person you can discuss
the final with is me! If you have not passed in the final by 4:00 on Monday, August 26th, points will be subtracted. The status sheet is a requirement of the course - it is also your insurance to make sure that you and I have the same information - I will contact you if there is a problem! Please send me the final using the usual email address and also send a copy to me at pgrocer@bristol.mass.edu. Final Exam Status Sheet - required If you need a little extra time to complete the work (for example, Web pages can be passed in a little later if you clear it with me - mid week hopefully!), let me know. The summer involves the same amount of work with less time so I will be as flexible as I can. However, if something is going to be late, we must have agreed via email or penalty points will be taken from your grade. |
