You should start looking at web page design and development issues for your log book. Be sure to check back - I will be adding! Please set up an area on Brinkster or another provider that you can use for your web site. Brinkster is located at www.brinkster.com and has free student websites. Look at the information on the smartboard presentation. I have added an introduction to using Brinkster under the smartboard notes. Assignments to turn in: Form and syl assignment NOTE: Do not use the PRE command to put things into your project. I want you to do the formatting with tables, lists etc. Also make sure your form is different from the samples I provide - be original. If you are having problems getting the form to work, don't worry - send it to me and I will test it. This is not the best way to do forms (the best way is server side forms) - so don't worry if your provider makes it difficult to do. First web project - should be done in a month Note that a working web site is required for this course. You cannot pass the course if you do not have a working website written in HTML or XHTML. | |

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 for one of your log entries. Note that the best source for telling if my examples validated is the PowerPoint presentation or the comments on the listing. Last semester I ran into some problems with validating, this example shows the DOCTYPE that worked for me - some examples you find on the web do not seem to work as well. I am constantly working on XHTML issues, I will keep you posted. DOCTYPE that seems to work well Site to use to try and validate your XHTML code Assignments to turn in: Second XHTML assignment Extra Credit: Extra credit if you get it to validate - I will take it using either XHTML or HTML to get the color.

| Notes and assignments #1 | The topics for this summer course will be posted as 14 sets of notes and assignments. You will
need to plan your schedule to cover all 14 sets. The summer is not 14 weeks so plan accordingly. 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.
