Group Assignment (25%) - Due Date: 05 June 2009

Title: Basic HTML using Notepad, with Blog report

Question:

Practical side (in pairs):
Work in pairs (2 members in a group ONLY) and create a HTML page using Notepad. Content of the page should have at least 2 paragraphs of texts (introduction to each member), an image, and hyperlinks to the individual blog site (report). Creativity on the design will not be assessed, because this is pure technical.

Upload the files (HTML and related image files, etc) to a registered free web server (e.g. geocities.com, bravehost.com, etc.). Make sure you name the web folders and subfolders appropriately as how you would on your working machine, to avoid difficulties in uploading and viewing the related files. [You may need to search and try out the uploading process before deciding on which web hosting server to use.] Email the website address to the lecturer (shahrinaz@ucsi.edu.my) for submission, and also post the link to Facebook Group CC106.

Report side (individual):
Write a report (in a registered blog site) on the overall process and methods that you use, and the difficulties you encounter during this assignment. The report/blog should include:

• The process and methods you go through to get the whole assignment completed.
• The technologies/tools you learn and use during this assignment, and their advantages/disadvantages.
• The experience/difficulty in debugging the HTML codes in getting the output you want.
• The experience/difficulty in searching/choosing the suitable web hosting server.
• The experience/difficulty in uploading the files to the web server.
• The process and experience/difficulty in creating a blog and learning how to use a blog.
• Conclusion should include lesson learnt, and what would you do differently if you are going to work on this assignment again.

It can be multiple blog posts with different headings, but make sure that the blog is specifically for this assignment (do not mix with your personal blogs, if you have any). You can name the blog as however you wish, but make the title sound appropriate for academic purpose (no vulgar, no offense on anyone).
