Internet Resources

The following are some helpful links to be used during your tenure in the CSCI 1710 course.

• E-mail list: There are two links for the e-mail list, the archives page and the e-mail address to submit to the list.
  • Archives page
  • Submit an e-mail to the list using the address [email protected]
• Cool Stuff
  • I've seen this clock JavaScript floating around the Internet for some time. I'm not sure who to credit with its development, but someone obviously put some time into it. If you know who's it is, please e-mail me at tarnoffetsu.edu.
• The mechanics of web coding
  • All of those character entity codes can be used with integer values between the '&' and the ';'. For a list of the codes available, see this list of ISO 8859-1characters.
• General design concepts
  • Color theory from a company (I believe it is QSX Software Group) that produces a product called Color Wheel Pro
  • Interactive Color Wheel (I'm not sure who's responsible for this, but it is on a site identified as Rich Franzen's).
  • A great reference for general design concepts is the Yale Style Manual.
  • To help you with sizing your pages for standard monitor sizes, check out either the Yale Style Manual-Design grid example (a duplicate can be found here) or my 1024x768 desktop image for 640x480 and 800x600 window sizing.
  • Window resizing scripts:
    • Resizing to 640x480 can be done with: javascript:void(window.resizeTo(640,480))
    • Resizing to 800x600 can be done with: javascript:void(window.resizeTo(800,600))
    • Resizing to 1024x768 can be done with: javascript:void(window.resizeTo(1024,768))
• Help with the basics of using a PC
  • Learnthat.com's tutorial on folders and files.
• Help with HTML

• Help with some HTML editors
  • For those of you who are interested in using the Macromedia Homesite HTML editor, you can find a Homesite tutorial here. It is provided by Providence College.
