A111: Survey of Computers and Computing

Project 3: Your Web Page

Your Task

• Please note that Project 3 is due on the 28th of February, at 9:00 AM
• For this project you will produce a set of web pages that will provide you with a presence on the web. Unlike the other projects for this class, it is likely that you will want to keep this page online if you do not already have a web page, and continue to improve it after this class is over. Because of this I strongly urge you to put a lot of effort into this project, and enjoy yourself as much as possible considering you are, after all, being graded on your work. This does, however, provide you with a strong double incentive to produce the best pages you can. For those of you taking A112, you will learn a lot of JavaScript, which you can use to make your page even more interesting.
• You will create 4 pages:
  • The first page will be your “index” page – it will provide some basic information, like your name, and give links to the other pages on your site
  • The second page, your “bio” page, will give some personal information about you, such as your name, age, likes/dislikes, educational history, and a picture. For those of you not comfortable with putting these details online, you are permitted to make them up as long as they are still there.
  • The third page, your “hobbies” page, will provide substantial information about your hobbies and interests, with appropriate pictures
  • The fourth page, your “links” page, will be a collection off links to sites on the web you consider interesting, such as news sources and search engines that you use, your friends’ web pages, and web pages on your hobbies and interests
  • In addition, your resume (as a word document) should be linked to from your index page. Ask your AI how to do this if you are unsure.
• When you have completed these pages, you will be expected to put them online, using SSH, Spinweb, and Steel. Your AI will show you how to due this if time permits.
• Your AI will provide you with more details on exactly what will be expected of you in terms of the tags and information you will be expected to use. As with other projects, the more effort you put into this, the better your grade will be.
• You will be graded primarily on form, but content is also relevant. Spelling and grammar mistakes will result in penalties.
• Turn Project 3 in no later than 9:00 AM, February 28th.
