IT 111 Week 10 Podcast - Fall 2008

This podcast focuses on the final project with several tips for getting the best grade possible. I encourage you to print a copy of the grading sheet before you begin listening to the podcast so you can follow along with my comments.

The screen snapshot to the left is a Flickr site that allows you to search for images that can be used on your web site. The only catch is that you have to give the original photographer credit. Not a bad deal.

Your final project is due on the last day of class, Wednesday, December 10. However, if you submit it by Monday, December 8, I'll give you feedback and a chance to make improvements.

As a reminder, all outstanding assignments will also be due on Wednesday, December 10, the official last day of Fall quarter.

IT 111 Week 8 Podcast - Fall 2008

This podcast has an announcement, a "shout out" for the Firefox Web Developer Extension, and a short introduction to Chapter 8 - XHTML Tables.

I've recently downloaded and installed the Firefox Web Developer Extension and I'm loving using many of the tools it provides. Please check it out.

I think you'll be able to figure it out on your own but I found a couple YouTube movies that introduce it and explore some of its more useful features.

• Video #1 (4:31 minutes)
• Video #2 (6:51 minutes)

IT 111 Week 7 Podcast - Fall 2008

This is a screen snapshot for Jing Project which is free software that allows you to make a either a movie of the action on your screen or a snapshot. I'm using it when I review your assignments to show you problems - much easier than typing them.

Also, Karl mentioned "skip navigation" in his critique last week and I found a web site that does a good job of explaining it and has several examples. Check it out!

More about these web sites and a short introduction to Chapter 7 are included in this podcast. Enjoy!
