WRA 210 8.28.13Introduction to Web Authoring
Hello, My name is: john • Basics • Former PW Alum • Really like tv, video games, and MSU sports and the Tigers • Questions for me??
The syllabus • All course related information can be found on: www.john-lauckner.com/wra210/ • A copy of the syllabus • Homework • News & updates
The Syllabus • Any questions?
Group Activity • Break into groups of 4-5, I will assign each group numbers • Once you are settled and have your number go to the website and find today’s agenda. There you will find a text. • Look at that text and try to turn it into mark-up. • The goal here is to make text that a computer could read. • Take 10-15 minutes and then we will come back as a group.
Basic HTML Document • Now we are going to look at a basic HTML document that we will use throughout the rest of the semester. • Download the HTML file from the website • Open it in a browser • Open it in a text editor, Notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac) • What are the differences? • What are the similarities?
How web pages work • A web page is a file. • That file is sent to a server. • A browser contacts servers. • A browser reads the file. • That file is generated by the browser as a web page.
What is mark up? • Mark up is text that is understood by a browser. • Here are some of the examples of mark-up in our HTML file: • <h1> • <p> • <ul> • <li> • <header>
AFS space & our first webpage • On the website you will find a link to netfiles.msu.edu and a the document we have been looking at. • We are now going to upload that document to our AFS space and make our first webpage. • We will be using this webpage throughout the semester.
