The purpose of this assignment is for you to create a course web page where you will link to some work you do in this course. We also need to know where your web page is located.

These parts must be done in order! (Part 1 first, then Part 2).

Part 1: Creating a Course Web page

You should create a course web page in your public_html/compsci4 folder in your Duke OIT account if you have not already done so.

You should already have created this folder in class. This is where you put your html classwork.

DON'T Have Blanks in Filenames that are going on the web! It is easier to write a link to a file if it doesn't use blanks in the file name.

Creating your Web page

To create the content for your web page, you can use Notepad if on a PC (or textedit on a Mac but be sure to read the note on the Resources page about HOW to use textedit) and write in hypertext markup language, HTML, or if you know a tool to create web page such as Dreamweaver, you are free to use it.

Your course page must contain at least the following information:

1. your name
2. where you are from
3. your computer science autobiography (see below)
4. a paragraph summary about one of the three papers that are linked to on the second day of class (Lynx, Netscape or IE).
5. a link to the CompSci 4 web page
6. an organized structure where you will list work you do in this course, such as a list or a table. Your web page must be organized in such a way that it is easy for us to find work to grade it.
7. a link to the html page you created for classwork 1.
8. a link to your html page for classwork 2, the animal web page you created
9. an image (this could be a picture of you, or a picture of anything else that is tasteful)

• your nickname
• your hobbies
• your year
• other courses you are taking
• any other interesting web pages you know about

For more help on creating a web page, see the links from the last class.

Computer Science Autobiography

Your autobiography should attempt to answer the following questions:

• Where are you in terms of computer science at this point in your life (have you done any programming, know any tools (editors, spreadsheets)? 
• What are you planning on doing with your life after Duke and how do you see computers/technology in your future? (they are used in someway in almost all careers, whether you write a program to do something or you pay someone else to write a program for you)

Your email address on a web page

You can decide whether or not you want to put your email address on your web page. There are web crawlers that look for email addresses on web pages and then send spam to them. If you put your email address on a web page, then you should disguise it in some way.

If your user id is abc123 then you don't want to list it as abc123@duke.edu, but rather as abc123 AT duke.edu. You can also disguise it by putting it in a graphic image as Prof. Rodger does on her web page.

Part 2: Sending Email

YOU MUST DO THIS PART AFTER YOU HAVE DONE PART 1.

Send an email note with the info below to the TA Sudhanshu Garg (sgarg AT cs.duke.edu), but not until you have done Part 1!

INFO TO SEND: Send the location of your web page (the URL) created in Part 1.

Your message MUST HAVE THE SUBJECT: CompSci 4: ASSIGN 2: (your name here)

Your FIRST and LAST name must be on the subject line (no nicknames!).

For example, Prof. Rodger would send her message with the subject line

               CompSci 4: ASSIGN 2: Susan Rodger
