Access to the Internet with a computer. Perhaps you are using
a computer at home. You can also use the computers in the multimedia
laboratory at Ohlone College, in room 4110 at the Fremont campus.
That laboratory is open Monday through Friday from 9a.m. to 8:45 p.m.
and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The laboratory at the Newark
campus in room 4 is open Wednesday evenings from 5 to 9 p.m. If you
need a multimedia student identification card to use the labs email
the instructor.
-
An email address where you can receive mail. Yahoo, Hotmail,
Netscape are among the many companies offering free mail service,
if you do not already have an address.
-
Browsing software, which you already have if you are looking
at this page. If possible, you will want to have more than one browser,
so that you can check your pages with both the Microsoft Explorer
and Netscape, for example. The instructor will also be viewing your
work with Opera and a text-based browser such as Lynx. Web pages often
display quite differently on the various browsers.
-
A web site. If your internet service provider does not give
you web space with your email account, free web space is available
from Webprovider, Geocities,
Xoom and Angelfire.
You can also check this list
of servers offering free web space. One of the first assignments
will be to set up a site and send the URL address to the instructors.
-
Access to The Palace chat room.You can arrange to meet your
instructor or other students in the Ohlone online chat room at The
Palace for real-time discussions. Please download
the free Palace program to make access easier although it will
work without the program on your computer. The Ohlone chat room is
at http://chalon.ohlone.cc.ca.us:9990

The preferred text for this class is Raggett on HTML 4
(second edition), ISBN 0-201-7805-2. However, if you prefer to use
HTML 4 for the World Wide Web by Elizabeth Castro. Berkeley,
California: Peachpit Press, 1998. ISBN 0-201-69696-7, that is also
acceptable. The books are described in the readings link below. Look
through the texts and select the one that appeals to you.
You will not need:
-
Exepensive web authoring programs such as FrontPage, PageMill, Dreamweaver,
GoLive, nor the free programs such as Netscape Composer. In this class
you will code your pages from scratch. Later we will evaluate these
web authoring programs, but it is not necessary to have them.
