The Assignment (what you must do for credit) In this assignment, you will set up a simple Hello World web page on a web host. For the assignment; 1. The web page must be hosted on a web host and accessible through a registered domain name. I recommend using a name related to your name. This page is often used by students to get a job (demonstrating their abilities in an interview). 2. The web page must include “Created by Your_Name” somewhere on the page ( on the footer is a typical location). 3. The web page must come up as the default page when the URL is entered. 4. The page must contain at least one sample of the following; one or more images A link to at least one other page Information about the page (this can state it is for this class) Correct header identification in the html5. The page must use correct styling and html 6. The page must NOT be generated by a content management system (no WordPress, Drupal, Wix, etc…) 7. You will post to the Assignment 1 Discussion - Your name (preferred) - Your hosting service (feel free to include any comments) - A link to your web page NO LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT - THIS ASSIGNMENT IS USED FOR ATTENDANCE VERIFICATION Submit the URL of your web-hosted site to the assignment as a link. Note: If you look ahead to assignment 2 – you will see that you will be creating a full web site with multiple pages, so you have the option of doing this now and completing both assignments. You will also be using this site in most of the assignments in this class. Information If you plan on continuing in Web Systems software classes, it is recommended that you select a web host that supports .NET and SQL Server. The Web Systems II class does allow you to choose an environment to build a server-side application. Most students select .NET because of the availability of jobs for .NET programmers. These are used in COP4709 (Database II) and COP4834 (Web Systems II). There are suggestions for different hosting services in the Resources for Week 1.html. You may not use any content management systems (CMS) as your site. This means NO WordPress, Wix, Joomla, or anything on the list located here – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems. (Please note that we will be looking at CMSs in a later assignment. For many types of sites, a CMS is quite appropriate. For this class, however, they simply get in the way of the types of assignments you will be completing which involve a lot of custom Javascript.) I encourage you to try more than one hosting (but understand that this may be outside your budget). Many of you will be doing this for a living after graduation (and many of you are doing it now), so knowing the pros and cons of different hosts is important. I will give guidance, but it is your responsibility to research hosts and hosting. Estimated Completion Time Actual amount of time to register domain, create page, and upload is less than one hour. For some domain, the setup time once the domain is registered can be 24 hours, so I recommend you register your domain and set it up well in advance of the due date. Questions and Answers You will need this hosting to do all the other assignments. All assignments are turned in as links to the work that you have posted on a live site on the internet. External Resources Here is a nice little guide to setting up a web site. You should already know most of this information as it is basic, but it does contain good advice as to hosts and ways to do this – http://websitesetupguide.com/ If you have any good guides or other information that will be useful for helping students select registries and hosts, please post to the bulletin board. I may copy some of the info to this page. There is also a Frequently Asked Questions for every assignment. This is a good place to go if you have questions – these are questions taken from the discussion boards that will help you find answers and are provided for every assignment. Assignment 1 Frequently Asked Questions Grading Criteria An operational domain and page are worth full credit. To receive credit, you must have, at minimum, a Hello World web page set up on an external host and accessible via a URL. If you skip to Assignment 2 - Web Site and have a fully functional page – that is fine; you’ll have completed both assignments.
