      Here's a sticky note to share with everyone.

      Hey everyone. If you are a member of the group, you can see what others have to say about pages on the web!

      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.

      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.

  • A simple comment in the code indicating where you found a particular snippet is enough.
    • Lee Howard
      Lee Howard on 22 Jan 09
       
      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.

      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
      Alex Halavais on 24 Jan 09
       
      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
      Alex Halavais on 03 Feb 09
       
      I lied :). Now up on Blackboard, by popular demand.
  • bookmark a particular URL
    • Caruso Nicholas L
      Caruso Nicholas L on 22 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.
  • database-backed
    • Starr Andrew
      Starr Andrew on 24 Jan 09
       
      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
      Alex Halavais on 24 Jan 09
       
      You need not download anything :). That was easy... The database will be on a server.
  • shell account
    • 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!

      Are we going to learn the commands that we may have to use on occasion?
    • 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.
  • Alex Halavais on 21 Jan 09

  • ...5 more comments...
  • Lee Howard on 22 Jan 09
     
    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?
  • Caruso Nicholas L on 22 Jan 09
     
    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 simple three-page site about the Pilates method of physical conditioning. The site features a what is pilates page, history of pilates page and basic equipment page with photos and descriptions. Visitors are able to navigate to each of the three pages from one another. An issue I ran into was knowing how to gage the size of the images and how that affected the text size of the headings.

    Note that the <img> tag is self-closing--need to remember to have the closing slash on that. You also missed closing one of your <p> tags.

    Here is a 4 page site I made for upcoming Connecticut concerts for the month of February. I included a splash page that includes links to Toad's Place, Mohegan Sun, and The Webster. On each of the 3 venue pages, I included links to the venues' official website as well. Then, I included text about upcoming concerts. I purposely didn't link back to the splash page, thinking that once the user is into the venue sites, it wasn't necessary to return there.

    This is my final project. all the pages validate, and i have included the little icon the validation page provides you. I have used ajax and php on the first page to display course information when you select a course from the drop down menu. on the courses page, i have included a javascript validation to make sure you fill out all the fields if you want to submit a rating and comments. The php automatically displays the comment once posted. any questions, just ask! Thanks for everything

  • Deitrick Erica L on 10 Feb 09
     
    I used the QU page that I replicated from the first module. I added a menu bar in order to decrease the amount of scrolling for the user. This way when they go to the page they can click on the menu tab rather than scrolling all the way down the page to see the options. Having a menu bar is so much more effective for this webpage, each tab goes to the QU website for each topic.
  • Deitrick Erica L on 12 Feb 09
     
    I fixed a few of the gap issues. This is how it looks now.

So the old site bookmarked with the url http://thisandthat.nfshost.com/picturehome.html WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE. to reach that page, you need to hit this url: http://thisandthat.nfshost.com/moduletwo/picturehome.html which is the page bookmarked here. i did this because i am adjusting somethings on this page for mod 4 and when im done, i will retag with mod 4 challenges, but im not ready, at this point in time 3/10/09 to do that yet.

    This site has an AOL 3.0 feel to it but regardless, the main page has links to step-by-step instructions on what you want to do with HTML. I was using it while I was working with my Wordpress page. I like the fact that it has split everything up into sections so you can access the page with what you want.

    I did this page for my personal web site. If you have seen the first, rough draft so to say of my sight, you will notice I have taken out the links as I am working on the site. But the links to the past projects work fine. If you click on the plus sign, you will see a description of the project, and if you click on the minus sign, the description will hide. I liked this idea because with all the descriptions on the page, the page looked too text heavy. This method allows the user to pick and choose which site they want to know more about, while not being overwhelmed or distracted by other text.

    This is a link to a working comments page (linked to a database table) which requires a valid name and email address before submission using Javascript. An error message appears & fades at the bottom of the form if something is omitted. I also made the same thing happen using PHP, so there are also messages at the top of the page from that code. I got the Javascript from http://www.leigeber.com/2008/04/dynamic-inline-javascript-form-validation/, and included this citation in my js page. Upon submission, a thank you message appears at the top of the form.
