      Here's a sticky note to share with everyone.
  • joining the group
    • Alex Halavais
       
      Hey everyone. If you are a member of the group, you can see what others have to say about pages on the web!
    • Lee Howard
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • A simple comment in the code indicating where you found a particular snippet is enough.
    • Lee Howard
       
      Can you cite where in the book you can find out where in the code to place this acknowledgment?
    • Alex Halavais
       
      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.
  • t will be added to the Completed page, at that point, with the associated number of points
    • Caruso  Nicholas L
       
      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?
    • Alex Halavais
       
      Eventually up (soon I hope). And I do not love Blackboard, so no duplication there. They aren't grades, so much as a record of who is doing what.
    • Alex Halavais
       
      I lied :). Now up on Blackboard, by popular demand.
  • bookmark a particular URL
    • Caruso  Nicholas L
       
      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
       
      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.
  • database-backed
    • Starr Andrew
       
      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.
    • Alex Halavais
       
      You need not download anything :). That was easy... The database will be on a server.
  • shell account
    • Kuban  Ellise J
       
      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
       
      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.
    • Kuban  Ellise J
       
      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
    • Kuban  Ellise J
       
      and in turn, can you tag sticky-notes? here is my fake tag webprog-1-b
    • Alex Halavais
       
      Yeah, you *should* be able to tag notes, but I guess (for the 1-b, for example), you just have to retag the page...
  • There is a textbook recommended for the course, Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML.
    • Zebeck Jillian
       
      I am wondering how far along we should be in the book during the first two modules?
    • Alex Halavais
       
      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.
  • create or modify a simple application on the web
  • (if any)
    • Marie Shanahan
       
      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
       
      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
       
      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!
  • form of web server (LAMP
    • Tedd Fox
       
      Are we going to learn the commands that we may have to use on occasion?
    • Alex Halavais
       
      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.
  •  
    I have highlighted the question :-)
  • ...5 more comments...
  •  
    What pages of the textbook will we need to read in the first module? Should we do the exercises in the book? Also, can you cite how to acknowledge others' work within code?
  •  
    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?
  •  
    Question on MySQL downloads
  •  
    More of a general question towards the course itself....am in trouble if I really have no prior experience writing code/HTML/web programming? I'm a bit nervous to be honest.
  •  
    Question about the Head First HTML textbook...
  •  
    To satisfy challege 1-B, I have asked a good question about the course under the SCHEDULE section. There is a sticky note attached to the words "if any."
  •  
    I have highlighted the question :-)

ESP-Test - 0 views

  •  
    This is my rendition of the ESP cards with random card generation. This one had taken me a while because I wasn't quite getting the concept of how the url were being passed. After re-watching the videos, I was able to grasp the concept better. I had originally thought that i could have the php function on a switch and then have a hidden input variable passed to the url...turn out i was over-thinking it....rather than give away the answer, just see for yourself!

    Nice!

    Generally, I tend to bookmark sites for reference and code help. This time I decided to bookmark more as an FYI. This blog gives readers an idea of how PHP is used on some of the web's most popular sites. Some of the statistics regarding lines of code for flickr are incredible.

Visual Dice - 0 views

  •  
    This is my visualization of the dice php file. I decided to use images of dice that I created using Adobe Illustrator. This document also utilized some CSS to format the page and javascript to help create the roll again button. The php uses the switch function to display the corresponding image to the number that is generated.

    very nice!

    I place a comment/link on this page above the YouTube video (http://www.tizag.com/ajaxTutorial/index.php). It's a great site that has more general info regarding the use of Ajax with php, forms, and browsers. Good for newbies like myself!

    Here is my site for the Sign challenge! A huge shoutout to Nancy for helping me debug the messy code I originally had written! In addition, I used this site for some ideas: http://www.2wap.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4866&pid=32711&mode=threaded&start=. However, this site led me wrong in multiple ways! Citing it anyways to be safe!

    The CSS wouldn't copy over to the php file. I couldn't figure that part out, since I copy/pasted the exact link line from my HTML. I don't know why it didn't work.
  •  
    The CSS is still there, it's just that it is only selecting elements that appear on the first page. The second page has none of those elements to select. Should change the selector to "body", since both pages have a "body" tag, and the design rules you have apply generally to the body anyway...

Tortellini Soup Recipe - 0 views

    Had some help with the CSS parts: Used Chapter 1 (Specifically Page 41) in Head First HTML to walk me through the CSS coding.

    Here is a recipe for Tortellini Soup that we make quite often. It's pretty easy and painless, yet quite delicious.
  •  
    Nice work here. A couple of suggested improvements. First, you should avoid using the center tag, but if you do, it should be inside the "body" tag--generally nothing comes between the HTML tag and the head tag. Also, you're missing your body :). However, it meets the requirements for the assignment, and looks good doing it.
  •  
    Sounds delicious, too.

    Here is my syllabus question.
  •  
    In case I haven't answered elsewhere. You can do as many of the challenges as you like. Take a look over the syllabus for information as to how completion is related to grades. And yes, in response to the first time around, I've provided a longer deadline, for more flexibility. Generally, the work is due within one week after the module is scheduled. And yes, I use Diigo to find everything you've done--so if you want me to see it, make sure you bookmark it and let me know what you want it to count for (e.g., webprog-1-b, like this one).

Sticky Notes?? - 37 views

The note popped-up on my screen similar to an iChat message. It is fine though -- I was more curious than bothered. Will post a message if it becomes a nuisance. Thanks.
