html assignment #1

Our next projects will deal with creating a webpage. We will be doing this in a couple of different ways. We will start by learning to use html. I have included a link to a tutorial. We will be looking at a few specific pieces of information off of them, and you will be able to use them to help you when it comes to actually creating your site.

Dave's html code guide we will use this site quite a bit as it is the one I have used before and know.


You will be allowed to use any of these sites (or any you find by searching) to research different pieces of information, but Dave's code guide will be the one that I will be speaking from and making quizzes from.

OK, now that you know what we are doing, go to Dave's site and read down to the link:
Okay! Let me Learn HTML!
Select that link and read through the first two pages, complete the following questions for your assignment.


On a blank sheet of paper answer these questions be ready to hand them in by the end of the period. (You are writing these out because I don't want you to just copy and paste, I want it in your own words.) Use full sentences (or paragraphs) for your answers!

  1. What does html stand for?
  2. What is the most important html file?
  3. Explain the two copy rule.
  4. What does "c:\" mean?
  5. What is a URL?
  6. What is a Host?
  7. What is a Domain?
  8. What is an ISP?
  9. How do the host, domain, and ISP work together in order for you to have a website?
  10. What is Data Transfer Bandwidth?
All of these items are discussed in the first two pages of Dave's Tutorial. We will also talk about them at the end of the period or the beginning of our next class.
