  Just wondering if you have specific page numbers of the textbook you want us to read. Do you want us to do all the exercises in the book?

  Ha, I didn't see this hiding up here. It's up to you which (and whether) you want to do the exercizes in the book. The advantage of the book, I think, is that it provides a nice structured approach, it gets you started on the right foot right away, and it focusses on what is important. The downside is that there is some "fluff." Sometime we all need a bit of fluff. So, the long and the short of it is, if I were in your shoes, I would work through the book quickly. Some of what is covered there is also covered in my lectures. In fact, I think this is the largest amount of overlap I have ever had between a text and the lectures. But I suspect you will need more depth in some cases than you get from the lectures. You might try watching the lectures, and then working through the section of the book. It's probably too much to actually "read" during a week (yikes) but it is highly skimable. And there will be an opportunity to return to it, as we move into some of the programming.

  For challenge webprog-1-b: Question about the syllabus (and a suggestion) Question: I've been submitting challenges through adding bookmarks on Diigo; however, I used sticky notes on this one. Do you have a preference of how we submit challenges? Thanks. Suggestion: Very thorough lecture, but in future ones, it might be helpful to mention in computer requirements that Mac users need at least OS X 10.4 to access Firefox, Firebug, etc.

  Monica: Need to bookmark as well as sticky. I find the assignments according to the tag, so if it's not tagged, I won't find it. Firefox, Firebug, Firezilla, etc. are all available for 10.4 and before. Just google, e.g., "Firefox earlier releases." They may not have the same features as the most recent version. In practice, you can survive without any of these; they are just nice to have. As for your last question: the grade on an assignment is binary: either you get all the points or you don't. If you didn't, you'll need to send me a note when you redo it, so I can recheck it. If it's still before the deadline, you can rec. full points. If it is after the deadline, you get reduced points.

  In the lecture 2-1 (coming soon!) I touch briefly on this. Generally, you just provide a short comment (see the last question on p. 6 of the book) near where you are borrowing code or ideas.

  As it turns out, we probably won't need to access a shell account. Basically, this allows you to directly log in to a server computer, and move around it. You generally have shell access to your own computer (on Windows machines, look under accessories or Run: Command; on OSX, the program is called "Terminal.") This is generally the only way to directly run programs or access detailed information about a web server. Otherwise, you are limited to FTP, which really is just used to copy files to and from the server.

  Done. It's a pretty quick read. Really, my lectures are a kind of "Cliff Notes" (I guess that's now "Sparc Notes"?) of the book. You won't have a test, but you will find the book helpful in filling in the gaps as you create stuff.

  Hi Prof. Halavais. You mentioned in the opening syllabus video that you deliberately designed this ICM class to be an "open course," meaning it is open to others who are not tuition-paying QU students. Why make your class materials part of the "creative commons"? I'm also curious to know how QU officials feel about "open courses."

  That's probably a longer question than I can answer. I think there is a mixed feeling about it, and some at QU think we should charge people for knowledge. I guess I'll turn that around and ask: what is it you are paying for when you pay tuition?

  Well, initially I had planned on doing more of this. In the sixth module, we briefly touch on what's available to a user via the *nix "shell," if those are the sort of commands you are thinking of. But I've aleady packpeddled quite a bit from my initial plans.

Questions re: the course/syllabus: I just clicked the Completed page and it failed to load. Is this a page that will eventually be up? Will grades also be posted in Blackboard as well as the Completed page? Second, on the 1-b challenge page it said to bookmark our questions...I'm a little confused as to the expectations. To be safe, I commented on/highlighted on the syllabus page and am now bookmarking the Syllabus page as well. Are we supposed to do both for this challenge?

Here is a quick 4 page website I made about eating healthy. There is a quick and easy meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All the pictures are from flickr and the creative commons, and all the pictures link back to their original source. Figuring out how to make a picture a link was a little tricky at first, but after a few tries, I got it to work.

Katie McLaughlin on 02 Feb 09

This page is just a basic intro/course description for an HTML class taught at UC Berkeley. It's really just a few sentences, but it's one of those short on words/long on meaning pieces of text that I admire because it gets to the meat of what HTML is all about in a very intelligent way. What struck me, though, was the line that states: "... it's valuable to know HTML even if your day job involves working with a content management system... " I work with a CMS all day! As I've mentioned before, I work for CNN.com and mainly produce interactive features and such, yet I know shockingly little about them there Internets! This course will hopefully help me bridge that gap between the material I am comfortable with, and that which intimidates me.

Getting columnated is a little tricky for beginners like myself. In lecture 2-3: Columnated, I added a comment with a link to a site that lays out the fundamentals of the language used. I think this would be especially helpful to someone who aspires to be a web producer because a producer needs to speak in html and css language. The link is http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/definitions.htm

I found that the "margin: auto;" tag does not work in IE7. I looked for a work around, but it appears that inline styles may be the only way. Thanks Microsoft. :-)

Made a few comments regarding photoshop and other aspects to the 2-column layout. Long lecture, but helpful in understanding the layout neccessities.

This site is very helpful for review. While I was able to complete the PHP assignments some of the concepts were a little hazy. This site is helpful if you would like further explanation. The author provides example code and breaks down each step in a way that is easy to understand. For instance. Here was one of the basic examples:\n\nLoops like these come in handy whenever you're working with long lists of things (such as jokes stored in a database... hint-hint!), but for now we'll illustrate with a trivial example: counting to ten.\n\n$count = 1;\nwhile ($count );\n $count++;\n}\n\nKind of scary-looking, I know, but let me talk you through it line by line.

Visualized the Dice! It took me a while but I finally got it! Instead of the random numbers popping up I replaced them with some die images that I found. I had to perform a list of "if" statements to make that happen. I also thought it would be cool to make this in to an advertising site, and give each user 3 rolls to roll a pair, if so, they win a small prize of sort, depending on the advertisement, possibly for a casino? We'll see..

When I was first looking for a webhost, I found a list of reviews on CNet, and at the time, IXwebhosting was rated #1. The price is right as well. I approve!

For this class and all my web hosting experiences, I have only used Bluehost.com web hosting services. They make it so simple and easy to host your sites - multiple sites are really easy to host ( a folder file system). You can upload to the server using FTP or a secure web disk if using a mac. Sites are then hosted on 2 platforms - public or private. Thus allowing for secure areas for additional site functionality. What is also great about this service is that I have a file server wherever I go - no longer do I need to worry about carting a flash drive or disk with me everywhere, all I need is my computer. They are 100% reliable, was easy to transfer my domains to them and host all my pages. Definitely recommend it.

This column offers a helpful "cheat" for programmers seeking to have a vertical background color extend all the way down the page. A quirk in CSS sometimes results in making it difficult for columns to extend the full length. The solution is to create a vertically tiled background image that "forces" vertical columns to extend all the way.

So close! Open it up in a browser, and do View>source. Then, look for the red. Can you see what is wrong?

The main title stands out against the other headers by color and size. All headers are in a sans-serif font while body text is a serif. Also, the links have a rollover feature and are a differnt color than the body text.

Very nice! If you stick the code for the menu bar *inside* the "wrap" div, I have a feeling it will work out better. Right now, when you maximize on a big screen, the menu goes a bit wonky. (Don't need to fix for the purposes of this assignment, but just so you know.)

Thank you! I've been going a little nuts with a few things. :) The menu bar was easy to place in Firefox, but wouldn't position properly at all in IE. I managed to do some fudging, but don't like the result, as I later gave up margins:auto to pin things down. After all that, the two browser renditions still look a little different. Much to learn.

I used my style sheet from a previous quiz to create a from that required a first name and a valid email address. The validation code came from w3schools, while the required field stuffs came from http://javascript.internet.com/. Because the code came from different sources they required a little tweaking, and I felt the need to add my own unique voice to the pop-up warnings.

It was a little confusing at first with the facebook api, but I once I got used to it it was just a matter getting the php to work. Facebook doesn't support javascript fully so I had to find a countdown in php....it doesn't look quite as cool as the javascript one, but it still works. FYI, it's a little plain...but it works!
