WEB 110: Class Materials
Textbook
- There is no required textbook for this course, but I do highly recommend HTML & CSS: design and build websites as a supplemental resource and reference guide.
- All lectures and other readings are linked from the class schedule.
Browsers
- Windows users should install the following browsers on their home computer:
- Mac OS X users should install the following browsers on their home computer:
File Transfer
For file transfer FileZilla is recommended, although you can use other SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) programs as desired. If you need a recommendation for another program to use (other than FileZilla), please email me.
- Windows users: Download FileZilla from https://ninite.com/; other download locations will install unwanted additional software
- Mac OS X users: Download FileZilla from https://filezilla-project.org/; click the “Download FileZilla Client” button. When downloading and installing, pay attention to the prompts and make sure to unselect any unwanted software, such as the Yahoo toolbar.
- FileZilla (you want the setup .exe for Windows) or WinSCP (you want the installation package)
- Note: The FileZilla installer will try to install other programs that are adware or otherwise garbage; be sure to opt out of them.
Text Editing
- All your work in this course must be done in a text editor and all code must be written by hand in the text editor.
- You are not permitted to use programs with a visual editor (a WYSIWYG editor, such as Dreamweaver) or programs that generate code for you. Usage of those programs will result in no credit for the assignment.
- Sublime Text 3 (https://www.sublimetext.com/3) is the recommended text editor, as it is available for Windows and for Mac OS X. You will want the latest version. If that program does not work for you, please contact me for alternatives. There is no cost to try out Sublime Text 3; if you like it and want to continue using it after this course, I recommend you purchase a license.
Supplies
- Students should have a USB flash drive for backing up their files.
