CSCI-UA.0004 - Nathan Hull

Assignment 2: HTML -- Due: Thursday, July 14th

In this assignment, you are to create three new Web pages: one assignments directory page and two original pages about you.

Assignments Page

The first Web page should be called "index.html" and will replace your file from Assignment 1. This and all future assignments should be linked to from here. Your name should appear at the top of this page. It should also include the following list of future assignments:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • Photoshop
  • Wireframing
  • Responsive Website
  • Animation
  • Bootstrap
  • SVG

From now on, this page will serve as a directory for your assignments. Over the course of the semester, as each assignment is completed—including this one—you should add a link to it from this list.

Original Pages

In addition to the assignments page, two original pages about you form the heart of the current assignment. Any combination of your background, your interests, or your experiences will do! You are to write these pages using a plain text editor (such as Atom, TextWrangler, or Notepad++).

Here is a list of required elements you should include in these two pages.

  • There should be paragraph (<p>) and heading (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) text on each page.
  • There should be a hyperlink from your assignments page to your original pages; there should be hyperlinks on both original pages that link to each other; and there should be at least one link to an external website.
  • At least one image should link to another page or another site.
  • You should include at least one numbered list or one bulleted list somewhere on one or both of the pages.
  • You should include at least one table somewhere on one or both of the pages.
  • You should also include an image on one or both pages. (Since we have not covered image editing yet, feel free to download an existing image from the Web. It should be a GIF, JPG, or PNG file.)

Pay close attention to your HTML tags and be sure to test your pages locally using Firefox, Safari, or Chrome.

Uploading Your Site

Upload your files (including the HTML files and the images) to the i6 Unix server with SFTP software from ITS or directly from Fetch, Cyberduck, WinSCP or another SFTP client. Your files should go in the directory called "public_html". Test your files again using Firefox, Safari, or Chrome once they are on the Web server to make sure they are accessible.

Submitting Your Assignment

Submit the following via NYU Classes. More information on submitting files with NYU Classes is also available here.

  • The URL to your pages in the form of http://i6.cims.nyu.edu/~netid/
  • A compressed file containing all the files of your new website
