MYT 2007: Week3

Unfortunately, Abe and I will be gone this Friday. Tom Wang will be teaching about CMS systems (ezPublish). For week 4, we will continue talking about front-end development. Please check out the links that Abe posted in the previous entry. Here are some more links for you to look at:

For HW (due next week - 7/27):

Finish the in-class assignment from last week. You don't have to follow Abe's example exactly, but do make sure you have a sidebar (hint: use the width and float properties). Don't worry about implementing the horizontal nav bar if you don't have time, we'll go over that in class. Go ahead and try it if you're up for a challenge though. It has to do with floating and block/inline elements.

Make sure you install and play around with Firebug (http://www.getfirebug.com/), you can use it to analyze other web sites to see how they do things.
