Nuts & bolts

• Meeting time : Tue & Thu 3-4:20pm (after a lot of discussion ...)
• Questions about anything?
• Expectations : be adults.
• Be aware of plagiarism & copyright policies - see resources page.

Getting started

I think I'd like to start with the material that I think is the most common and familiar to all of you, namely the core tech of front end development: HTML5, CSS, JS & the DOM.

I set the first assignment due Thursday to "create a web page" ... and hopefully that will add some specific examples to this discussion.

So far :

• servy.strangled.net:8080/home.html
• nate-weeks-portfolio.herokuapp.com/

As a seminar, I'd like to have all of you prepare some "show and tell" for the class on these topics.

Discussion ....

Places to read the docs :

• MDN web docs
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • Javascript
  • DOM

Possible project : write a solitaire peg-hopping game using HTML,CSS,JS,DOM only.

practicalities

deploying ....

• cs.marlboro.college .... within assignment pages
• cs.marlboro.college .... editable folders
• shannon.marlboro.college ... maybe

What I've has used

• hosting
  • nearlyfreespeech
  • linode (vps - virtual private servers)
• name registration
  • namecheap
  • gandi
• DNS resolving
  • 1.1.1.1 - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1.1.1.1

See for example wikipedia: internet hosting service

aside

(I'll throw these in here and there - cultural enhancement, as it were. 🤨 )
