    Oh my gosh, it works. After two days of trying to figure out why perfectly good code wouldn't work, Dr. Halavais told me that I had to zap gremlins in my PHP text, because the text was imported. Anyhow, I'm currently teaching my freshmen a book called A Long Way Gone, and since I need to find interactive ways to keep their interest buoyant, I thought this quiz might actually work in my own classroom. Thanks to Jen Rock and Dr. Halavais for their help in getting this accomplished.

    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.

      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?
    • Alex Halavais
      Alex Halavais on 22 Jan 09
       
      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 Aversa

      Challenge for webprog-1-b: question #2 If we want to improve our grade on one of the challenges, are we allowed to redo it?
    • Alex Halavais
      Alex Halavais on 24 Jan 09
       
      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.

      Can you cite where in the book you can find out where in the code to place this acknowledgment?
    • Alex Halavais
      Alex Halavais on 22 Jan 09
       
      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.

    • Alex Halavais
      Alex Halavais on 24 Jan 09

      For challenge 1-b it says to make sure we bookmark our question. How do we bookmark a highlighted comment? Do we just use the entire URL and you would seek out our question(s)?
    • Alex Halavais
      Alex Halavais on 24 Jan 09
       
      Is this the question you are bookmarking? If so, I think the world is going to expload. Yes, you should bookmark the page you are making the comment on (this one) and be sure to tag it webprog-1-b.

      You mention MySQL for the db backend. Can you give a list of what we'd need to download from the MySQL site? There appear to be several options. My brain hurts.

    • Kuban Ellise J
      Kuban Ellise J on 28 Jan 09
       
      what exaclty is a "shell account". I looked it up on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_provider), but can you try to explain it in English aka understandable terms?
    • Alex Halavais
      Alex Halavais on 28 Jan 09
       
      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.

      Thanks, this actually spawned another question, but relating to Diigo. I had no notification (or none that I could see) or anything that you had responded to my sticky note. Is there something I'm missing or should I just remember to check back. Thanks

      and in turn, can you tag sticky-notes? here is my fake tag webprog-1-b
    • Alex Halavais
      Alex Halavais on 03 Feb 09
       
      Yeah, you *should* be able to tag notes, but I guess (for the 1-b, for example), you just have to retag the page...

      I am wondering how far along we should be in the book during the first two modules?
    • Alex Halavais
      Alex Halavais on 03 Feb 09
       
      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."
    • Alex Halavais
      Alex Halavais on 03 Feb 09
       
      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?
    • Marie Shanahan
      Marie Shanahan on 04 Feb 09
       
      When I finally finish paying tuition, I'll have that oh-so-valuable piece of paper that says I have a master's degree, right? Tuition also helps to pay you, my professor!

    • Alex Halavais
      Alex Halavais on 14 Feb 09
       
      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?

    I took my recipe html file and tried cleaning it up. After numerous attempts to fix my code myself, I clicked the "Clean up Markup with HTML Tidy" button. HTML Tidy basically truncated my table-specific CSS and aggregated it at the top. I suppose I'll learn how to do this myself when I begin on Module 2. Instead of changing the original file, I saved a new one to show to the code difference at http://marie.nfshost.com/recipe2.html
  • Alex Halavais on 06 Feb 09
     
    HTML Tidy is a lifesaver--as long as you look at the changes and can figure out why they have happened. (It also makes it prettier, if you use the "indents" feature.)

    I hoped tabs were unobtrusive... I went back and redid a page from Module 1, putting all my travel abroad trips in one tabbed content box. The first sequence of code I tried nearly ruined my life, but Dr. Halavais was kind enough to send me a link that didn't make me want to end my life.

    Small issue: when fonts are user-changed, it can bounce the last tab to a second line. But good enough to meet the requirements for the assignment, and good for you for trying something especially challenging.

    When setting up my database, I have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out which data types to use for each item. I began by checking the MySQL homepage, but in the end I found myself getting more and more confused - they seemed to get tooo wordy and involved in the definition of the data type. I found this site to be much more helpful in describing the different data types - it gets right to the point and clearly explains with examples, what each data type does.
