We are in the Home Stretch!

As we begin the last third of the quarter I thought it might be a good time to summarize the workload for the remainder of the quarter.

The good news (for you and me) is that homework 9, which is assigned this week, is the last homework/lab assignment for the quarter... yay!! (smile)

The Research Project is due next Wednesday, March 14.

This will then give you two weeks to complete your Final Project, which should be plenty of time if you get an early start.

The lecture materials for weeks 10 and 11 will continue to present information, techniques, and resources - some of which you may choose to use in your final project.

The Materials for this Week

This week we will learn how to use lists to create horizontal and vertical menus, or as the author of Stylin' calls them, interface components.

We will start by reviewing basic lists and then examine list properties which can be used to create various menu designs.

Similar to last week's lecture, this week we will use a tutorial format to cover hands-on creation of both vertical and horizontal CSS navigation menus. Web page navigation, or user interface components, are a key piece of every web page.

We conclude with some alternative techniques for building a basic navigation menu which includes applying colors, non-wrapping of horizontal menus, and using images for your list-type menus.

The materials this week will show you how to build simple, flexible, and stable navigation components that you can use in your final project or other future web pages you may create.

Homework 9

Homework 9 asks you to create two separate interface components: a vertical sidebar-type graphical navigation list/menu, and a horizontal top navigational bar which takes up 100% of the browser width. You will then combine those two "parts" into one document which will also contain a small amount of "content."

Have fun this week, and I will see you on-line.
