Software Checklist

This final section of the course will introduce you to Visual basic a programming language used in C.S. 20.  You will use VB to create a simple program. When you have completed your program, you will begin work on your web site. You will use HTML code ( a language used to create web pages) and Macromedia Dreamweaver to create your web pages.

Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG (pronounced wizzy-wig, stands for what you see is what you get) program that allows you to insert graphics and text into pages as you create them. A WYSIWYG application is one that enables you to see on the display screen exactly what will appear when the document is printed. This differs, for example, from word processors that are incapable of displaying different fonts and graphics on the display screen even though the formatting codes have been inserted into the file. WYSIWYG is especially popular for desktop publishing. Dreamweaver is a good program that is fun to use for novice web designers, yet it has features necessary for advanced web design.

Finally, time permitting, you will learn the common essay formatting used throughout all courses in high school, and use this knowledge to write and format a short essay. Ask your teacher to clarify any uncertainties about project expectations.

Remember: If you have problems: 
Ask three then me.

 

The project tutorial will guide you through the process of project development.

Before you begin, check out the project requirements.

Arguably the most important part of any programming project is proper and complete planning. Use the planning sheet to help you remember the names and functions of each of the objects used in your project. Proper planning in the design process will help to avoid confusion dirung the development process.

The planning sheet must be completed before you begin the final project tutorial.

Use the project tutorial as a guide to help you complete your project.
