The surprising sixth lesson

It's the sixth lesson and I was surprised because an unexpected project is given as a homework. Actually, the project is called e-Portfolio. It's about introducing yourself and adding some other media into your e-Portfolio, making it even nicer.

Mr. Cheong recommended us not to start the e-Portfolio first. Unless you know all the HTML and CSS. Mr. Cheong said that he will teach us how to do an e-Portfolio. I'm quite lazy so I think I'll follow Mr. Cheong. Hou Yi, one of my classmates has started doing it. I don't know why he's in a hurry of finishing it.

Erm...... Now, I'm going to show you what's about the e-Portfolio. Follow me to http://www.docstoc.com/docs/document-preview.aspx?doc_id=25575064. It's about the description of the e-Portfolio, the challenges faced, how to overcome challenges, create website and many more.

I'll post whenever I had a leasson of the e-Portfolio. So, I'll be showing you process of making the e Portfolio and the results. See you in the next post!

The 1st Class Test of IS

We had the 1st IS class test in the fifth lesson. Actually, I didn't study at all while my room mates study very hard. I didn't study because I don't know what can I study. I admit that there's something I don't know about the test but I insisted not to study because I want to know what have I learned during the lessons. I only did this for IS. I don't dare to do it at other subjects because I'm not very well with them.



During the test, I don't know some questions. Thank godness it's MCQ. It stands for Multiple Choices Questions. At least I know some of the answers are not valid so I choose the others. The test was not as hard as I expected. I was so relieved after the test.

The test is about all the things I've learned in the four lessons. Some of them are WWW, HTML, URL, Domain Name, Protocol, e-commerce, DSL, CSS, ARPANET and many more. The test is according to the lessons we've attended. So, it's not very hard.

I hope that I did the test well. I know I didn't revise but I expect a good result.

It's Fourth Lesson Already?!

Yes, this is the fourth lesson in IS. I'm very sorry about last week because the posting was not ver much. I think this lesson's post will be short as it's only the introduction of CSS. Last time, I talked about HTML right. Those who are interested saw the slide of HTML & CSS. Then, they know what is this post all about.

Actually, CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It defines jow HTML elements are displayed. Besides that, it was normally saved external .css files. It change appearance and layout of multiple pages all at once. So, it's very simple and you don't you to change all the HTML. There are other 2 ways to use CSS but teacher didn't say anything about it. I'll briefly go through it. The two other different ways to use CSS are internal style sheet and inline styles. If you want to
know both of them, go www.w3schools.com/CSS/css_howto.asp. It's a very useful website.

Ok, let's get back to our focus here, the external style sheet. Each page that was linked to .css file will have the effects. The link is placed inside the head section.

The differences between with styles webpage and without styles webpage are the font, word size, background and many more. Go to the website above to see an example. You can also put youtube, google map, flickr image gallery slideshow in. I can't put an example of it because it was
same as the HTML. Also go to http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/011/firstcss.
