Homework Notes
All of your homework will be posted on the Web or on Blackboard
Find as many resources from Books, Website's, Magazines and TV Shows that will help you "Keep up to speed" in class. You should be able to find at least 10 different resources. (The more resources you find, the better the grade.) C|net Central and Builder.com and Webmonkey are examples of the type of sites you should be looking for. Post this information on Blackboard. Make sure to tell me what type of info is on these resources.
Review 3 Different Browsers. Compare and contrast the browsers and be sure to make a recommendation plus justify why you choose that browser
Find two Websites. One that you consider bad and one you consider to be excellent. You need to tell me why you catagorized them as being good or bad. You must be explicit as to why!
Review 3 HTML Editors. Compare and contrast the Editors and be sure to make a recommendation plus justify why you choose one Editor over the rest.
Create a Fake resume (simple webpage) with links and graphics. This is page should use your new HTML skills in layout and should be at least one page.
Rent, Buy or Borrow (Library or Friend) one of these movies: The Net, The Terminator series, Hackers, Sneakers, You've Got Mail, or Avatar. Post on your movie page how realistic the movie was and tell me if something like this could happen in real life.
Create several webpages that "show off" your HTML layout skills. This page should have graphics, external links and links to internal pages. You will need at least three pages.
This Webpage will hold at least 3 graphics you modified from the web or created. Use a photo editor to make sure the graphics on the page are web appropriate (file size and dimensions.) Pay attention to the layout of the graphics on this page!!!
Create a form using several of the form objects shown in class. You should be trying to sell something with the form!
Create at Least one Webpage that will "show off" your ability to use Dreamweaver (or another HTML editor) to create a Webpage. You can use a template but please let me know if you do!
Your final project needs to be a complete website. You should have at least four web pages that link together. You must follow all the rules for good design I identify during the semester. I would prefer your site to be a real business or a business you want to start. You will learn more from a real world project. You can use Dreamweaver if you want!
