Quiz post-poned!

Since we just barely missed finishing the installation of PHPBB we are going to finish tomorrow.

To accomplish this you will need an understanding of permissions! Read this about Windows
and Unix.

We are putting the phpBB on the class server tomorrow. Then we will spend a few minutes configuring the bulletin board.

How could someone make money with a forum? Read this.

People on forums click on ads. Ads get people money because ads sell stuff. Spend the evening reviewing the IF THEN ELSE statements.

Your midterm will be from your lessons during the first nine weeks. Also you will need to review HTML and PHP. By Thursday afternoon I will post your review sheet.

If you get confused during an installation or a lesson you must learn to keep your frustrations to yourSELF. I will come to help you but you must not shout out your frustrations.

Quiz

Write a letter to a prospective client why PHP would be the ideal programming language for their online reservation system. Explain why open source software is ideal. Why is a dynamic web page needed?

This needs to be 500 words. You have 30 minutes.

Web pages online

Each person needs an example of their web page using HTML ONLY only AND a web page using a template (the Freeservers' template, a template from the link below or???). This will be an individual grade and the URL must be emailed to me.

I am impressed with the work I've seen in class, for the most part.

Create an HTML manual for newbies

Your assignment is to create a manual to teach someone HTML who has never heard of it before. In your manual you need to cover the following topics: linking, images, text formatting, and sound. Do not rely on copying and pasting...put it in terms anyone could understand.

Think about a way to host your web page. Find a hosting company that offers FTP access with a minimum of ads or intrusions.

Try www.freeservers.com.
