Handouts For Web Site Development

There are several documents that will assist you in the development of your web site.

First is a handout on how we will use the concantenate function in Excel to create a "factory" for the portions of your code that are highly repetitive, especially the tables that hold the code for your buttons. To get the Concantenate handout, click Concatenate Handout.

Second is a handout that summarizes the rules that you must follow to correctly write HTML code for your web site. To get the HTML Rules handout, click HTML Rules.

Third is the index (opening) page of the sample site I am using this summer. It will be an excellent guide for you to follow. To get the sampke Index Page handout, click Sample Index Page. You should also look at the sample site which was done by Rhonda Barron in my 11:00 class for Spring 2007. To view the sample site, click Sample Site of Rhonda Barron.

Fourth is a document of additional tags that will come in handy in writing your code. Tags are the instructions that tell the browser what to do. They are enclosed in brackets which are easily seen on the sample index page. To get the Additional Tags handout, click Additional Tags.

Fifth is a warning about the pecularities of Notepad. You will write your web pages using Notepad on a Windows machine (or TextEdit with special settings on the Mac). Notepad had several pecularities and you must use Notepad with some caution. The handout with the warnings about Notepad use is important. To get the Notepad Warnings handout, click Notepad Warning.

Sixth is a handout titled Revised Strange Guide to Creating the Most Basic Web Site. The title says it all. To get the HTML Rules handout, click Revised Strange Guide.
