CIS 701
WEEKS 5 - 6.
THERE IS A NEW PROJECT (701table2) THAT CONVERTS
TEXT DATA INTO TABULAR INFORMATION, THEN ADDS NUMBERS
IN A NUMERIC COLUMN. WORKING ON THIS OCT 10 - 11.
MASTERMIND. GET COPY. LEARN TO RUN IT.
100 POINTS FOR EACH LEVEL. SEE MR. A. IF YOU
PASS LEVEL 6 (HIGHEST).
ALSO, CHECK YOUR ANSWERS TO THE QUIZZES, AND REDO THEM
IF NECESSARY. FOR EXAMPLE, SOME STUDENTS HAVE RESPONDED
THAT THEY BOUGHT DISKS AND A VIEWBINDER YET THEY DONT
HAVE THEM!
THE QUIZZES ARE CHECKLIST TO HELP YOU. YOU DONT LOSE POINTS
FOR NOT KNOWING AN ANSWER (you go back later to revise it);
YOU LOSE POINTS FOR WRITING ANSWERS THAT ARE FLAT-OUT
NOT TRUE. IT IS ASSUMED THAT YOU WILL BE HONEST.
THE CODE THAT WE WORK UNDER ASSUMES HONESTY. IF YOU
BREAK THIS CODE, YOU CANT PASS THIS CLASS.
AND AGAIN, IT IS ALL ABOUT 'BENCHMARKING' WHERE YOU
ARE, PLANNING IMPROVEMENT, THEN MEASURING THE DEGREE
OF IMPROVEMENT! SO IF YOU NEED TO, GO BACK AND
REVISE YOUR ANSWERS IN THOSE QUIZZES!
FIND 701table2 AND WORK IT.

'YOUR OWN "SMACK"', PERSONALIZING IT, DOMINATING IT, AND PROVING
MASTERY OF THE TOPIC!
EACH QUIZ IS WORTH 200 POINTS, WHEN DONE. YOU DONT GET THE 200 POINTS

(I MAY HAVE MISPLACED MY FLASH CARD READER .. UNTIL I RESOLVE THAT PROBLEM
THERE WILL BE A DELAY IN GETTING MORE PICTURES. )
DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF MANY OUTSTANDING STUDENTS IN THE CLASS, I AM THINKING
THAT WE CAN START 'BUILDING HOME PAGES' ... BEFORE WE DO, LETS GO OVER
WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE TO DATE.
1. PROOF OF EMAIL.
2. TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (PRACTICE THIS IN CLASS, TEAM CONCEPT)

ASSIGNMENTS)
==========
AS I WAS SAYING, DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF MANY HIGHLY-TALENTED STUDENTS,
THE CLASS IS MOVING FAST (TEAM CONCEPT IS 'KICKING IN') AND I THINK I
CAN MOVE YOU INTO BUILDING A HOME PAGE!
=========
I NEED TO MENTION THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPEN YOUR IMAGE WITH
PHOTO EDITOR AND BALANCE THE COLOR, ETC ...
=========
AGAIN, WITH THE PRESENCE OF TEAM-CONCEPT, HIGHLY-MOTIVATED STUDENTS,
(LET'S QUICKLY GET EVERYONE UP TO COMPLETING WHAT IS DETAILED ON THIS
PAGE), WE CAN BREAK NEW GROUND!
Ask me: "Mr. A., where are the famous quizzes -- the 'Start Disk' I
keep reading about" ... I am going to update it right now.
JA. OUT. (early Sun. Morning)
(1 week later. Quizzes are finished and passed out.)
=================================================
WEEK 2:
REMEMBER THE WHOLE IDEA IS LOOK AT AL THE PROJECTS, READ AND
STUDY THEM, AND GO AFTER AND COMPLETE THE ONES THAT YOU CAN!
THINK BIG PICTURE, AND SHOWING PROOF OF WORK!
Continue working on Intro to Visual Communications. Ask if you
dont know how to insert a graphics into a document. Try to
finish project this week. Look out for viruses. If in
doubt,check for viruses on my workstation. Search the 701 Dist
Ed Page for projects that you can do independently.
Pull ahead if you like.
Get 701-Map Assignment. Using Paint (Paintbrush), modify /
personalize map in some way. (100). And/Or go to Yahoo, get
map of your zip code, copy, and paste to Word, crop it,
use Textbox to\show location of local library (100).
You should have an email address. See the 701 help file
on 'getting an email address' if you have to. Sign up with
hotmail, or yahoo, or whatever provider you choose.
(100 points for sending me email to cyberprof@hotmail.com)
You should also at this point be able to download
'Total Quality Management', "Deming's 14 Principles",
and comment on them (short comments), stash in
your viewbinder. (100 points each)
You may also do the same with 'Principles of Total
Communication'. (100)
Earlier we covered creating fonts - see 701-fonts --
you can do that assignment (or any assignment on the list
right?) (100)
Hopefully, you have your picture, and try to insert it
into a word document. (image with text - 701-image). (100)
We will do an assignment where our last names were looked
up using 'goto' or 'google', and printing the results. (100)
Also, you can earn 100 points by winning at solitaire,
and explaining your strategy, and using <Print Scrn>
and copy and paste your winning array of cards into a document,
that along with the statement of strategy will earn you points.
All work must be put in your viewbinder, and available for
me to check. Also store your work on a floppy,
(you should own about 4 extra floppies and a carrying case
at this point).
Save your work by clicking file -- Save-As (select A:) or
just type in the name in the file location box: A:\701-sol.doc
So, at this point, you should be able to send email, pull
assignments from the web, look at the help files, and
'check-in' files (these also can earn credit), and navigate
the page and read the assignments posted, and you should
know about working in a 'team environment'.
Some students may opt to develop a home page, so bring
in photos and I will check you out on using the scanner.
============================================================
PLEASE NAVIGATE ("HUNT") IN THE SECTIONS BELOW, LOOKING
FOR ASSIGNMENTS THAT YOU CAN DO. YOU MAY DO ANY ASSIGNMENT
LISTED ON THESE PAGES. THINK BIG! YOU MAY DO ANY
THAT PROVES YOUR SKILLS IN 'INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY' --
WE ARE INTERESTED IN DOCUMENTING YOUR DEVELOPMENT HERE,
YOU ARE THE CUSTOMER! I FACILITATE AND GUIDE AND
DOCUMENT YOUR PROGRESS FOR GRADES. THIS IS 'LEARNING
COMMUNITY' STUFF. JA. OUT.
==========================================================
SPRING 2001 (browse this section for projects: earn extra
credit!)
AS OF APR 29 2001:
IF YOU ABLE TO HAVE HOMEPAGES OR PARTS OF THEM WORKING, 100
POINTS FOR EACH PART + 100 FOR THE MAIN PAGE (index.html) +
100 IF YOU CAN POST IT ON YOUR OWN WEB SITE, AND GIVE ME OR
THE CYBER TUTOR YOUR LINK! ..
THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE LAST MESSAGE THIS SEMESTER, AND WE
ARE WORKING WITH ENERGY ON SPREADSHEETS. THE ON-GROUND
CLASS HAS GOTTEN 200-300 POINTS BY DOWNLOADING AN EXPENSE
JOURNAL (ON LIST OF PROJECTS) AND MODIFYING IT AND GRAPHING
IT [IF YOU NEED HELP IN USING THE CHART WIZARD, EMAIL ME
AT cyberprof@hotmail.com] AS WELL AS A CHART THAT TOOK
COMPUTER COMPONENT PRICES (say from FRY'S NEWSPAPER AD)
AND CREATED A CHART THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS:
ITEM PRICE 3YR-WARRANTY TOTAL
(5%)
MOTHERBOARD 349 17.50 367.50
120 GB HD 160 NNNN NNNNN
256K RAM 80
19" MONITOR 199
CD RW 120
TOTAL NNNNNN
THE SECRET HERE IS TO BUILD THE 5% INTO A FORMULA THAT AUTO
CALCULATES THE WARRANTY RATE, AS WELL AS USING THE =SUM FORMULA
(OR THE SIGMA SHORTCUT KEY).
THEN IT WAS GRAPHED AS AN EXPLODING PIE GRAPH.
=========================================================
THE IDEA OF THIS MODULE IS FOR YOU TO DEMONSTRATE YOUR
ABILITY TO CREATE ABOUT 5 - 10 OR MORE (IF YOU NEED THE
POINTS) EXCEL CHARTS AND GRAPHS.
YOUR WORK MUST SHOW THE CHART AND GRAPH ON THE SAME
PAGE, AND MUST BE 'PRESENTATION QUALITY'. AGAIN, SHOW ME
WHAT YOU CAN DO!
=============================================================
THERE ARE POTENTIALLY 1600 POINTS FROM COMPLETING QUIZZES
ON THE 'START' DISK -- THAT HAS BEEN WORKING WELL ...

SPRING 2001
APR.20.2001
LAST MESSAGE FOR SEMESTER ...
TO EARN AN 'A' YOU MUST SHOW A QUALITY HOME PAGE WITH JAVASCRIPT AND
HTML ASSIGNMENTS ON IT .. SEE WENDY ROSA'S FOR EXAMPLE ... IT MUST
HAVE SOME TYPE OF ANIIMATION (GIFS, flash, OR STREAMING), AND IT MUST
BE LINKED TO OUR CLASSROOM PAGE. OF COURSE, YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT.
SO HERE IS WHAT IS NEW: WE ARE WORKING IN FLASH. GET A TRIAL COPY
ON CD FROM ME OR AN ASSISTANT. THE GOAL IS TO WRITE A FLASH FILE (.fla)
AND EMBED IT IN YOUR HTML, SO THAT YOUR NAME GROWS FROM SMALL TO LARGE,
WITH INDIVIDUAL LETTERS ROTATING AND CHANGING COLORS! THIS REQUIRES
UNDERSTANDING SYMBOLS, LAYERS, AND TIMEFRAMES. ONCE LAYERS AND TIME
FRAMES ARE UNDERSTOOD, YOU CAN INSERT SOUND, VIDEO, OBJECTS INTO VARIOUS
LAYERS AND DEVELOP ADVANCED ANIMATION! START GETTING INFO ON FLASH.
IT IS THE THINKING NOW THAT USING HTML AND SOME JAVASCRIPT FOR THE BASIC
TEMPLATE AND ADDING 'SIZZLE' WITH FLASH IS THE BEST WAY TO DO WEB PAGES!
HTML + FLASH.
==================================================
APRIL 07, 2001 2001
MR. A. PASSED OUT t2.html that plays an avi file using explorer.
LINK a video file to your page. ON THE JAVA/JAVASCRIPT PAGE, THERE

THIS ASSIGNMENT. ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS. ADD QUESTIONS TO QUIZ.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU CAN DO.
===============
AS OF MAR.07.2001:
DOWNLOAD 3A - 757. THIS CONTAINS ABOUT 7 ERRORS. WHILE IT IS DIFFICULT,
YOU CAN DO IT. LEARN TO OPEN (2) WINDOWS -- EDIT AND NETSCAPE, AND learn
how to enter javascript: in the location address, and learn how to read the
error messages, and debug yourprogram.
I am giving 100 points on your extra credit sheet for proving to me that
you have it working, and you get an additional 100 points for having a working copy running on your web site.
The new Attendance / Participation Form on the main page can give you a reading of how many points the class has completed. ClickCheck-in Listing. Points can be counted from what is on your pageon the web (100 points for each page) + additional, non-duplicate material in your notebook + what I have signed off on your Extra C.Sheet. Students picked up a lot of debugging skills on this assignment. Spend time with it. Conquer it!
AS OF FEB.28.2001:
MAKE EVERY LINK ON YOUR PAGE WORK ON YOUR WEB SITE. GIVE LINK TO JUAN REYES.
MAKE IT WORK ON OUR CLASS PAGE.
As of Feb.22.2001: We took Ilda's page as a template, and distributed it. The
template includes picture, music, resume, hobbies, career, likes, Music-Art. Upload
it to your site.
All links should work perfectly. Be sure hobby, likes, career are done. Be ready
to insert link from my page. Be able to FTP.
As of Feb.15.2001: You should have some html reference guide: either download one
from our class page, buy the 'quick start' for 3.95 (bookstore) or pick up any html
textbook.
You have to be able to look up topics -- for example the syntax of the
'mailto:' command.
You should be well along with your homepage: main page (index.html), and career.htm,
hobbies.htm, and likes.htm. I have passed out several templates in class. Use
whatever you like.
You should have a web address. Some students got space on tripod.com.
You should be a bit familiar with uploading files to your site, using FTP (see me)
or a file manager program. Uploading skill is vital.
You should be able to use some image editor: MS Photo Editor, of Liveview, Graphics
Workshop, Adobe.
You should have put together some art works with music, and linked them on your index.html under Music-Art.
(this assignment came out real well, and take a look at what some of the students
came out with. High Creativity runs optimally on High Technology!
Literally, a 'nice show'!)
We will be looking at the javascript in "scrolling banner" shortly.
You should be able to handle, text color, background color (understanding how
some colors can complement each other more), music, and images.
Soon it will be expected that you will have an operating home page with the
mentioned career, hobby, likes, and art-music links, and have it uploaded,
and provide me with its link so i can list you on the the class page!
There are 15-20+ '757' projects on the page. Go ahead and move ahead as you can.
The class requires some type of "slide show" so you may start investigating that
now. I have several slide shows on my page.
Also, we will add video to your page, coming up.
Mostly, work the assignments labeled '757' and to be sure that you get credit,
print them out and put in a viewbinder as well as posting them on your site.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CIS 790:
790 ...
WEEK 5 - 6 (OCT 11)
TAKE '757/790 RUGGED JAVASCRIPT QUIZ'
ASSIGNMENT -- TEMPERATURE CALCULATION
IN JAVA (6c, 6d)
START 790q1, q2 etc.
===========================
APRIL 20, 2001
EMPHASIS IS NOW ON HAVING VARIOUS PROJECTS (APPLETS) RUNNING
ON YOUR HOME PAGES ... SEE CHRISTOPHER ALDEN'S PAGE IN
STUDENTS' HOMEPAGES ... ALL LINKS MUST WORK.
THERE ARE at least 5 quizzes 790q1.htm ... 790q5.htm, please print them
out, and with a book in front of you, answer the questions, as much as you
have to, look at the answers of other students, and compare, and glean as
much info as you can. write answers in your own words. Use the quizzes
as a forum for information exchange!
On the advanced level, there are (2) projects under JAVA 790 that you could
engage: (1) a slide-show (this I would like to talk about in class) that
loads images into an array, then pops them out of the array one at a time
and displays them. There are really good programming principles in this
assignment.
(2) The second one is the famous ART to Programming and Programming to ART
assignment, where there is a color show of 256 cubed colors displayed.
It uses 3 loops, of course, controls the background color, has "start"
buttons, and loop control (start, stop, increment values).
There is a lot to gained from this assignment.
Also, there are other Math-based projects that are very interesting
available ...
The goal is to produce quality web based work that demonstrates your
skills in various areas. You may want to take the time to go back to
your work, and heavily comment it, so you can refer to it later!
============================
APRIL 6, 2001
run quizzes 790q1.htm and 790q2.htm etc ... keep tryingas i write them.
100 points each.
AS OF MAR.14.2001
WORK ON 8A, 8B, 8C. COMPLETE UNICODE CHART.FOR EXTRA CREDIT, EXPLAIN EACH
LINE OF JAVA IN ENGLISH FOR A MAX OF 100 POINTS PER PROJECT. YOU SHOULD KNOW
WHAT EACH LINE OF CODE DOES.
=================================
AS OF MAR.07.2001:
STUDENTS SHOULD BE FINISHING UP WITH TEMP. CONVERSION. AS AN EXTRA CREDIT
ASSIGNMENT, 790 STUDENTS COULD DO THE DEBUGGING ASSIGNMENT OF JAVASCRIPT
757-3A PROJECT. SEE NOTES ABOVE IN 757.
NOTE THE NEW WAY OF CHECKING IN (IN ADDITION TO THE LIST ON THE BOARD)...
YOU MAY GO AHEAD AND DOWNLOAD ANY JAVA PROJECTS ON THE PAGE, AND WORK ON THEM
INDEPENDENTLY FOR CREDIT.IF YOU CAN, START READING AND THINKING ABOUT PROCESSING FILES USING JAVA FOR NEXT WEEK. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
AS OF FEB.28.2001:
THIS WEEK WE MUST COMPREHEND THE JAVA TEMPERATURE CONVERSION PROGRAM. HAVE A
QUICK-REF CHART OR FIND A LINK TO RESEARCH JAVA STATEMENTS. THIS WEEK WE MUST MASTER THIS PROGRAM, AND SWITCH THE CODE TO CONVERT CENTI TO FAHRENHEIT.
Feb.22.2001:
Find Temperature Conversion in 790. Compile the source code. Prove that it
works from Cent to Fahren. Then carefully modify it to acceptFahren and output Centigrade. (100) Look up any Instructions you don't understand. Take snapshop of output paste it and source code into Word. Save this doc for posting it later on your website. (100)
Feb.15.2001:
This week we worked on assignment '1d' -- "Hello, World" applet.
At this point, you can use the java compiler. You can edit java source files, and compile as a .class object, insert that into html and test it, right? You have to be at this point or see me right away.
We have compiled several assignments: amatha3, ahd hwloop. (100 points each).
This week we discussed how to create colors using the color statement where values of red, green, and blue were created. (100)
You should also be aware of the structure of a java program: library links,
global definitions, init(0), paint() procedures, and event-trapping.
The most recent assignment asked you to comment each line of code in
hwloop.java. (100)
Earlier we did an assignment in javascript. You may submit this for 100 points.
Practice if you can, understanding java error messages: I will be giving a
debugging assignment shortly.
You need to have some java ref material. Get a text for ref and/or a Quick Start guide.
Just so that you have the entire range of the course in your hands, go ahead and download all of the projects listed under '790', and you can use them for
reference help.
You should know what is an applet, a bit of html, how to edit, compile, run, how the 'cache' works, how to do make minor changes, and program structure. You should also understand 'looping' - from the Hello World assignment in javascript.
For those who want to move ahead fast, there are some programming projects on the page. Arrays, files, and event-trapping are important topics.
There is also a Slide Show assignment that is challenging.
I plan to add music to applets soon.
There are 'animation' projects on the page that like any project, you can work and submit for credit.
Loretta got her picture on one of the programming assignments. She did it in html. Look for the html code to do it, on a recent handout or on the web. (100 points)
There are over 25 projects on our page. You can do take on any or all of them. Usually they contain the instructions on how to do them.
Essentially, Java is an extremely powerful language, especially because it can run on the web! Work it slowly, build on the program templates provided. Save your programs using consecutive names, hwloop1 ... Hwloop2 ... Move ahead carefully, methodically, testing one new feature each time.
You should also get a home page, as you will post your assignments on it, per the course outline.
