CS 160 In-Lab 1
January 20, 2004

The purpose of this laboratory is to give you some practice with using LINUX, the Web and HTML.

Each person should work individually on this assignment.

1. First you are to log into your Esus account and change your password (only one person can change their password at at time. You might have to change the password later in the day, but it must be done within 24 hours or your account will be locked). Make sure you follow the password rules below and make sure you remember it because you will need to use it many, many more times.

Password rules
1. Your password can not be a word, or have a word be a major portion of it.
2. Your password must be 8-11 characters.
3. Your passowrd should have numbers and/or non-alphabet characters.
4. Your password is case sensitive, so don't forget which characters you use.

Use this sheet of Unix commands to help complete the password change and the rest of the assignment.

2. Next create a www directory and a default index.html. Just type your name in it. It doesn't have to have any HTML, it can just be a simple line of text with your name in it. Use the link of Unix/Linux commands or ask the TA or consultants for help if you are lost.

3. Make sure your permissions are correct.

4. Go to a Web Browser and view your index.html.

Before you go on show your TA or consultant you have this much working.

Now you are going to create a simple Web page with a text editor and HTML tags. I didn't go over as much HTML as I wanted to on Friday, because I forgot Monday was a holiday. So you are going to have to use some of the tutorials I have linked on Friday's notes to complete as much as this lab as you can. Use the consultants as much as you need if you haven't done HTML before. We should have plenty of help, don't be afraid to ask questions.

You are to develop a web page that meets as many of the following requirements as you can during your lab period:

If you don't know any HTML tags try using the minichapters of the interactive HTML tutorial or HTML Goodies or a simple page of tags on Hunter's lecture notes from last Friday.

The title of the page is "Fall Activities", the title does not show up on the page, it is in the heading. Look up <head> and <title>
The background color of the page is a bright color.
Normal text, links, and visited links are all dark colors.
There is a Spring Bozeman type picture somewhere on the page.
Clicking on the picture takes you to the Bozeman web site, see if you can find the official Bozeman site.
Learn about the table environment by reading MiniChapter 12 of the interactive HTML tutorial. Then make a table that looks approximately like the table below. (Note: the table environment will not produce a table that looks exactly like the one below.)

Next week's lab
For next week's lab you will have a Out of lab due. You will also begin to use BlueJ and write your first Java applications.
To prepare for next week's lab you should read the first chapter in the text, goof around with BlueJ on the campus labs or download it to your home computer and goof around with it. Understand what BlueJ is used for and what Java is.
