22C:005 - Assignment 1 -
Create Some Web Pages on the Internet
Due:
Tuesday, August 29 at the beginning of lab.
Purpose: The goals of this assignment follow:
-
Obtain access to an e-mail account.
-
Create an Internet accessible home page.
-
Make use of the HTML tags you've learned in class by developing a series of different web pages.
Assignment
In this assignment you will be creating several web pages using knowledge you've developed in lecture. These pages will be created on the internet web site that you have aquired in class. If you already have your own web site you do not need to sign up for another one and all your assigments may be done on your existing web page.
For full credit, all information must be available from your network web page. Please talk to your TA if you cannot find a place on the Internet to host your web page assignments. Very little credit will be given for files created with a WYSIWYG HTML editor. All pages required for assignments must be produced from hand-coded HTML. You may type the HTML by hand in a text editor such as Notepad (PC-based machines with MS Windows), or SimpleText (Macintosh), or a HTML text editor supplied to you by your home page provider. You may also type your code directly into the file depending on what type of web service you are using. All HTML must be indented in a manner similar to the HTML examples presented in lecture.
Your home page and any other personal pages you create at your site are entirely under your control. However, the following restriction does apply to your home page: you should create a link from your home page to your assignment pages. In other words, place a link for
Assignment 1
on your home page which links to the
first
page for
Assignment 1. These links should be on the page at the URL mailed to your TA and should be easily identified (a list of assignment page links, for example). Please also include your name on your home page.
