hw for Wed. July 19 |
None! Continue working on your individual website design projects.
OPTIONAL: Wednesday is Adobe Photoshop Day at TIC, so if you wish, you can bring a photographic image that you may edit and manipulate in class, if you want to learn a few basic Photoshop tips and tricks. We also have a scanner here at the lab so you can bring in a photograph to be scanned, if you don't have a scanner at home.

hw for Mon. July 17 |
Read Chapter 12, Multimedia. Create a simple page (or use one you've already made) and embed or add a background sound in it. Also, find a small movie anywhere on the web, and add it to your page... emphasis on small.*
*(Large movies on a page will cause the ATDP server to crawl to a halt, if lots of people start accessing that page all at once! And finally, do NOT place MP3 files on your directory on the server... welcoming as ATDP is, we do not want everyone in the world to come visiting our site all at once, downloading popular or even not-so-popular MP3s.)

hw for Fri. July 14 |
No homework. Continue working on your individual and group website projects.
|
|
hw for Wed. July 12 |
Think about your current favorite book, band, movie, and TV show. Find a link and/or images on the Net for each of the above (if any). Make a simple HTML page for these items, with a one-line description for each item of why it's your favorite... upload it to your website, and let your TA know the name of the document. We'll make a course collage of these things.
|
|
hw for Mon. July 10 |
Read Chapters 10 (Frames) and 11 (Forms). Create a sample frameset, and upload it to your directory on the server. On one of the frames on the frameset, include a forms field, with the form data sent via e-amil -- that is, without the use of a server-side script (CGI). Instructions on doing this are to be found on p. 194 of your textbook.

|
hw for Fri. July 7 |
Find or make a GIF image (not JPG) which we will use to practice making imagemaps on Friday afternoon. Here's an example of an imagemap. Can you find Tom, Angel, Aaron and Fed on it?
You may choose a GIF that you've already found for your web page, or download one off the Net. Upload the GIF to your directory on the server.

hw for Wed. July 5 |
Continue working on your home pages and website projects. And enjoy your 4th of July picnics and get-togethers. If you have a digital camera, take pix and bring 'em to class on Wednesday, and we'll do a photo-collage for our course website.
|
|
hw for Mon. July 3 |
None! Enjoy your 4th of July weekend... but do come back on Monday. ;-)

hw for Fri. June 30 |
Think carefully about web design (the look, style and "feel" of a website) and web content (what the website actually is about, or offers), and come up with some examples of what you think makes for good design, or good content. (If you don't have access to the Internet at home, you may do part of this homework in class today, or in-class on Friday.)
What constitutes good web design?
What makes for good web content?
Write the list as an HTML document (with links to the sites you've selected) and give a one-sentence evaluation of the site--why you think it is well-designed, or why its content is great). You may include a few graphics in your page layout, if you like.
|
|
hw for Wed. June 28 |
Re-read chapter 9. Look for additional Tables tutorials online -- for example, go to Google and enter "HTML tables tutorial" as your search string. The idea is to master Tables until you can do them in your sleep. ;-)
|
|
hw for Mon. June 26 |
Read these chapters in your textbook: Chapter 6 -- Page Layout Chapter 8 -- Lists Chapter 9 -- Tables |
|
hw for Fri. June 23 |
Think carefully about your website project in this class. Write a paragraph or two about the topic of your website. Who is your target audience? What elements would you like to use in your site? (Text, graphics, multimedia, data, etc.)
E-mail me (either from home or in class) this written statement. (lloyd@uclink4.berkeley.edu)
Make an outline of the structure of your site (draw this literally, on paper). A typical drawing outline includes a main page with sub-pages one level down, and sub-sub-pages two or more levels down. Your site doesn't have to be very complicated -- just well-organized and well thought-out. Submit your drawing/outline in class on Friday.
NOTE: Your personal web page project will start with the drawing, and then you will proceed to build the pages, beginning with the home page. If your site will have many different pages, consider organizing each set of similar or related pages into separate directories or folders. If you plan to have a lot of images or multimedia files, consider placing all such files in their own separate image or multimedia folder.
