CMPU-181, Spring 2013
Asmt. 4
Due:  Friday, April 5 @ 5:00 p.m.


For this assignment, you will create a web page that contains
information about courses "you" have already taken at Vassar, courses
that you are currently taking, and courses that you are considering
taking in the future.  (If you would rather not reveal such information,
you may use information about a fictional student.  You may even include
a disclaimer at the top about this being a fictional account.)

Your web page should include nice headings, tables, lists, and some
paragraphs of text.  (This is a writing course, after all.)  Optionally,
you may wish to include photographs or links to other pages.

Please use the HTML tutorial on our course web page (and even the 
"source code" from the cs181 web page itself!) to give you ideas on how
to structure your page and how to give it interesting features.

The total written content, which should have a coherent theme (e.g.,
describing how the courses fit into "your" educational goals), should
be equivalent to about two pages (or more) of ordinary text (e.g., in
one of your previous assignments).

==> You should use a plain-text editor (like emacs) to create your
    HTML code from scratch.  

-------------------------

Begin by logging into your CS account.  

Then type "cd public_html" (without the quotes) to get into your
public_html directory.  

Next, type "mkdir asmt4" to create a new directory that will contain
your HTML file(s).  (You may use multiple HTML files if you want to;
but you can also use only one.)

Next, type "chmod og-rwx asmt4".  This will prevent "outsiders" from
looking at your web page.  (You can change this later.)

Next, type "cd asmt4" to move into your asmt4 directory.

Next, type "emacs mypage.html&" to open up the emacs text editor.

--------------------------

Okay, now you're ready to create your web page.

While working on it, you can use a browser to look at it.  Open up
your browser and use the "FILE -> OpenFile" menu item.  Then select
your html file.  

==> If you have trouble with this part, let me (or Ben, our systems
    administrator) know.

Each time you make changes to your html file, be sure to save it.
Then click the refresh button on your browser to see the results.

---------------------------

When you are done, you should submit your entire asmt4 directory
electronically, as follows:

   Type "cd ~/public_html" (without the quotes) to get into
   your public_html directory.

   Then type "submit181 asmt4 asmt4"

Then type the following commands to make your html page(s) visible to
other people:

   cd 

   chmod og+x public_html    <--- allows others to go into your public_html directory

   cd public_html

   chmod og+rx asmt4   <--- allows others to go into your asmt4 directory and view its contents

   chmod og+r asmt4/*   <--- allows others to look at the files in your asmt4 directory

   ===> afterward, the web address of your webpage will be:

           http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~yourAccountName/asmt4/
