Course Notes:
What you should already know:
At this point you should know the basic xhtml template.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www/w3/org/TR/xhtml/11/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title> </title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
- All your code will need to be commented. Your name will need to be included in the code as a comment as well.
- You may want to look for xhtml help at an html tutorial site such as w3schools.
Text editor VS Web editor
- You may use ANY editor when creating web site for this class. Dreamweaver is in both this lab and all CSSD labs. Front Page is available for free to all Pitt students.
- Using a web editor like DW will allow for more efficient site management.
- Be careful of Front Page as Microsoft may decide to add "necessary" code to your site.
- BE WARNED. Even though you may use a web editor, you still need to know xhtml to successfully navigate through this class! When you start coding in PHP it will be embedded into the html code.
- You will need to VALIDATE your code.
- Publishing to your Pitt account. NO PHP!!
- Publishing elsewhere & domain names. Go Daddy or Bluehost.
- How about FREE web hosting! http://x10hosting.com/
- Where to put YOUR commercial site.
- You are NOT allowed to post commercial sites on your Pitt account.
- Be careful posting personal information on ANY web site including MySpace and Facebook
