Email from the Bookstore

Anthony writes:

It looks like the text are scheduled to be delivered on the 5th. Of course we are not here on the 5th. So it will be the 4th or the 8th.

The books shipped from Portland Oregon for some reason. The Vendor is in Ohio. I will notify you the moment I receive them.

HTML What Happened in Class Wed.

Note to students: If I didn't receive your link page assignment at the last class, please e-mail it to me at the Comcast address on the syllabus.


Powerpoint for Class 2: The (X)HTML Document

The instructor asked the class how they did on getting on to the free Web space that goes with their provider. No one had yet accomplished this.

A terminology sheet was distributed for students to write definitions in as they do the class readings. The definitions should be written in the student's own words.

Next she handed out a worksheet and asked the class members to open up a Powerpoint which was located at the blog.

We went through the Powerpoint to learn the structure of an HTML document: document declaration, titles, head, and body.

We went through the Powerpoint a second time with the worksheet and labeled the various sections of the HTML.

We took a break and the instructor made copies of the reading for a few of the students who had not yet obtained the book.

After the break we started on the next class project, which was to learn how to create headings, paragraphs, line breaks and horizontal rules.

A worksheet was distributed and the instructor explained how to copy the HTML from the book's sample and adapt it for the links page (last class's assignment).

Students worked on this page through the end of the class.

Next class:

Readings: Have 2-29 read.

Do the definitions page.
Work on accessing web space at your ISP
Find a 3-ring notebook to organize class materials. Get dividers (about 5)

I didn't hear from Anthony at the bookstore.

I just checked at the bookstore and the book is still not in. They said there is time for a couple more shipments today and are to advise me via e-mail around 6 tonight. I'll post later as to what I hear.

The bookstore is open until 6 tomorrow, so some of you may wish to stop a little early and see if the book has come in--also you could phone 908-709-7619 .
