Major Goal:

The major goal of CNIT 132 is the creation of a variety of intermediate level Web Pages. You should already have created a homepage and perhaps a small website, from your CNIT 131 class, a similar course, or from your own experience. You can use your homepage as a starting point for this class. In addition, you should already have a fairly good understanding of basic HTML. You will need to upload all of your web pages to the City College Web Server, hills.ccsf.edu. Alternatively, with my permission, you can upload your web pages to another Web Server.

Creating Webpages:

You should create your Web Pages using a text editor, notepad, pico, or an HTML Editor. Your class purpose should be a thorough understanding of intermediate level HTML and you should hand code ALL of your web pages.

Course Contacts:

This is an online course and thus, you will not have the benefit of classroom instruction. But you will have access through email to the instructor, the teaching assistant, and other students in the class. Also, there is a class chatroom and discussion lists where questions, comments, and answers can be posted. So, a student in this class can look forward to a solid support network.

  • Mac - Firefox, Safari, and Chrome
  • PC - Firefox, IE, and Chrome
  • FTP software to upload files to the hills server
