Project: WEB PAGES

A project for CSCS1730 UNIX/Linux Fundamentals by Stephanie R. Williams during the Fall Semester 2011. This project was begun on November 10 and is anticipated to take one week. (Upon completion you can correct this with the actual length).

Objectives

To apply skills learned in UNIX to assist you in deploying your own personal web page in your Lab46 web space.

Prerequisites

In order to successfully accomplish/perform this project, the listed resources/experiences need to be consulted/achieved:

  • know how to navigate the command-line
  • be familiar with ls, especially long listing
  • be familiar with chmod
  • know how to use the vi text editor

Background

The purpose of this project is to create a webpage that can be viwed outside the lab46 terminal.

A webpage is, simply put, something that can be accessed through a web browser. The webpage is displayed on a monitor or mobile device containg the information queried by the user. A web browser is a type of software that connects the end user to the world wide web. The world wide web is many interconnected links on the internet. The internet is a global system of connected networks. The purpose of having all of these many protocols is to present information and answers to a query made by an end user.

Scope

Go out and learn some HTML. Nothing fancy, just the ability to make a few paragraphs, lists, maybe an image or two, some hyperlinks, and text markup such as bold, italics, and underlining.

Make a simple web page and deploy it in your ~/public_html/ directory, make sure it has a .html extension and that it is world readable.

To view it in a web browser, point it at: http://lab46.corning-cc.edu/~swilli31/phoenix_rae.html

Attributes

State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.

  • commands: using some command-line tools to accomplish a task
  • files & directories: knowing where to place the data so it is accessible via your web space
  • text processing: you're utilizing a text editor to create the HTML file on Lab46
  • security: appropriately setting the permission so it is readable/writable by you, and readably only otherwise by world

Procedure

The actual steps taken to accomplish the project. Include images, code snippets, command-line excerpts; whatever is useful for intuitively communicating important information for accomplishing the project.

Reflection

Comments/thoughts generated through performing the project, observations made, analysis rendered, conclusions wrought. What did you learn from doing this project?

References

In performing this project, the following resources were referenced:

Generally, state where you got informative and useful information to help you accomplish this project when you originally worked on it (from Google, other wiki documents on the Lab46 wiki, etc.)
