Task ② WEB DEVELOPMENT

Task 02 will see you do some hard coding,
then you will create a web site for this class and, possibly, for your future use.

This task has three components

1. The first component is to demonstrate some hard coding skills with HTML
2. Then, you will add CSS to your hard code
3. Finally, you will create a full web site

Now, link your initial hard-coded homepage to an external CSS stylesheet.

Task 02b

Using a text editor, link the page you created for Task 02a to a simple CSS stylesheet that you control.

You may also wish to add different kinds of HTML tags on your task02a/index.html page to see how the different stylesheets cause them to display.

Condition

Update task02a/index.html page and, using your SFTP tool, move it into the public_html directory in your Opal space by 2355 on day before the subsequent session, and tell your lab/recitation instructor to look at it.

Remember to SFTP both the index.html page and the whateveryoucallit.css page as part of your task02a folder upload.

This task component is required just to compel you to try out linking to an external CSS stylesheet.

Standard

Your hard coded page must validate using the W3C Markup Validation Service. There must be no errors in your code.

If you wish, you may validate your CSS using the W3C CSS Validation Service. There may be errors in your code, but they are not graded errors.

Follow the detailed guidance on your recitation page.
