course description
Class Notes
pedagogy (style / content of teaching )
- exploratory lab thing - got that down
- how do we adapt HowPrepWorks to a class with no one central textbook?
bootstrap your XHTML (work together!)
- HTML tutorial? from w3schools, BUT,
- follow the HTML 5? guidelines
- then do their XHTML tutorial?
books to consider (in order of priority)
- Flanagan, JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 5th Edition (available in Safari)
- Holzner, Inside XML (for all of $5 or $6 with shipping! Buy it!)
- Holzner, Inside XSLT (for all of a couple of bucks, buy it)
- Charles Wyke-Smith, Stylin' With Css: A Designer's Guide (only $22, ok, so it will be instantly obsolete, you get to decide. Lots of online resources.)
- Schmitt, Blessing. Cherny, Evans, Lawver, and Trammell, Adapting to Web Standards: CSS and Ajax for Big Sites, New Riders, 2008.
- Christian Wenz, JavaScript Phrasebook: Essential Code and Commands, Sams, 2006 (available in Safari)
tools!
- run firefox for your browser
- reasons:
- meets the w3c standard
- default development platform for the w3 folks
- addons/plugins
- web developer's toolbar
- firebug (javascript debugger)
- selenium ide
- i also love
- no script ( gets rid of all those annoying ads, more importantly, protects your privacy )
- better gmail2
- for xml/xslt, definitely Oxygen, from http://www.oxygenxml.com/
Assignments
Assignments come in 2 flavors: prep assignments and labs.
prep by class meeting
- For Tuesday, September 30
- make real progress on the HTML and XHTML tutorials as discussed above, take notes, ask questions, make comments, gripes, whatever as you go on the twiki. We'll work on a first web page in class in our first lab. Keep your notes on your wiki home page. Don't forget to look for help on your classmates pages. People's homepages are in the WebHome web.
- ActivityPrep
- For Tuesday, November 18th. Look! A real prep rather than a piece of a lab!
- Do the [Trash.W3Schools:css/default][CSS tutorial on W3Schools]]. Write up some examples to show what you do and don't understand about cascading and inheritance (or pick one of the other really thorny issues in CSS, there are several of them, e.g., the tablecolgroup (not exactly right) stuff.)
- For Thursday, November 20th: ** -> "Do the XSLT Tutorial!? " Write up an example before class that integrates your CSS from Tuesday.
- On Thursday, November 20th -> Reference Notes -> "WebdevNotes20Nov"
- For Tuesday, November 25th -> Marry CSS, XSLT and build the XML schema and write a rough draft (more like a final report than a rough draft) ->*"Pursue the abstract object that your interested in!"* => Student Reports are submitted at AssignmentNov25Webdev
