Course Overview

We'll review the course web site, including the syllabus and the course outline. We'll also do introductions, and talk about what makes a web site "good."

At the end of class, I'll do a brief review of basic CSS formatting concepts for students who did not have CSS in their 320 classes.

Readings on XHTML

• Chapters 5-8 of Designing With Web Standards (page 141-210)

Basic XHTML should have been covered in your 320 class. These chapters will provide a refresher on basic XHTML, as well as a more extensive explanation of its importance. (We'll go back and cover chapters 1-4 next week for the discussion on web standards.)

Introductions

Post a brief introduction of yourself, focused on your RIT and web development background. What program and year are you in? When did you take 320, and with whom? What outside-of-class web development experience do you have? Why are you taking this course? What are you hoping to learn?

In the "URL" box, put a link to your IMM web page, or a personal web page that you've created. (Preferably with a photo of you!)

CSS In-Class Exercise from 320

This is the CSS exercise given to students in the 320 class last quarter.

ITS Form for Increasing Disk Quota

If you need to increase the amount of disk space allotted to you on Grace (the default is 20MB), you can fill out this form (it's a PDF file; print it out and fill it out in paper form), and bring it to me for a signature. I'll pass it on to the IT office for approval.
