Web Dev Intensive

Here is the answer key to the Client-side Quiz. If you have questions about the answers, be sure to ask them during class.

Grade frequency breakdown

This chart shows how many students scored within 10% of the indicated grades. So, for example, one student scored between 21-30%, two students scored between 51-60%, two more between 61-70%, and so on.

To convert your numerical scores to percentages, see this chart:

For example, if you scored 10 points, you receive a grade of 50%.

Pop Quiz: convert the following wireframe diagram into fully-functioning XHTML, CSS, and Javascript code.

Completed files must be emailed as a ZIP archive to Amos by 11am.

Naming conventions

• all filenames, CSS class names, and CSS id names must be lowercase with no spaces and no special characters besides underscore “_”
• all Javascript variables and function names must be lowerCamelCase
• all images must be in a subfolder named “images”
• all CSS files must be in a subfolder named “styles”
• all Javascript files must be in a subfolder named “scripts”

We will be having a quick quiz on Saturday that reviews the basic concepts we have covered in class so far.  Anything from the readings or assignments from Class 1 to Class 3 is fair game, so make sure you are up to date.  Topics covered include (but are not limited to), basic HTML syntax and common elements covered in class, CSS syntax, CSS selectors, information architecture navigation concepts, Javascript’s relationship to Java, the relationship between client and server.

There will also be questions about file management.  Please refer to this post for guidelines on file management for class projects:

So make sure you understand how you are supposed to structure your files for projects in class, how your file and folder structures on the server that you create with WinSCP correspond to the addresses you type into the web browser, and the difference between relative and absolute paths.  This site has a decent description of absolute and relative paths that is a good recap of what we discussed in class: http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=230ad

The quiz will *not* cover using CSS for layout with the float and clear properties.
