Agenda April 16 - Professional Web Design Process

Today we will begin by going through the process by which the professionals create a website for a client. I have a presentation on the Design Process to share with you. On Wednesday, we will have our client join us in class to be interviewed, and you will need to make sure you all ask at least the questions on this sheet and more. Does she want a mobile site? Does she want or need a Facebook page? We want this to be the most useful for her. I'll make copies of that worksheet for you to write on during the interview. You will be graded for your participation on Wednesday in the interview in the following ways:
  • Polite and respectful to guest
  • Ask at least one question
  • Take detailed notes
  • Maintain interest in meeting
  • Avoid other tasks during interview
I will break you up into 5 groups and each group will focus on a different part of the site. The next step of the production process is described in this document.

The timeline for completing this website is on the Class Calendar tab at the top.

Agenda April 2-4 - Java vs. JavaScript

You may have heard these two terms before, but what are they? Aren't they the same thing? Actually no.

Today we will look at both of these through a website I created and saved in the network folder. Then you will have the opportunity to add both a Java Applet and some JavaScript code to your Movie Review website before Spring Break.

We will add the following together:
Java Applet - Scrolling text
JavaScript - Snowing on Page
