OK gentlemen, let's start this new Unit. Unit 4, the system unit.
As usual, I have created some forms that aim to highlight important information from your books. Follow this form as you READ from the book.
Note: This form, and it's readings SHOULD take several class periods to complete.
-Mr. H.
We have been working with tables. By now, I expect you all to be neer-experts in coding tables. Soon I want you to be full-on-experts. To achieve that, you're going to need to be able to use tables for more than holding data - you will need to be able to use them as a design tool.
I want us to look at a few area high school websites and pay close attention to the way the contents are arranged. Could tables have been used?

Go Wildcats! - Mr. H.
I want to introduce you to a term called HEXIDECIMAL Value.
In terms of HTML, it's the most flexible way to specify a color.
Take a look at this color chart and see the many color values.
Directions:
1. Create this table by hand , using notepad only, and include the special characters as shown.
2. Create an HTML document showing the code used to create this table and contents.
To do this, extensive knowledge of special characters and tables will be needed.
3. Create a header and insert your full name.
4. E-Mail the document to me as an attachment.
Special Characters
To make special characters and accented letters show up on your pages, use a special set of codes called character entities, which you insert into your HTML code and which your browser will display as the corresponding symbols or characters you want.
The most common character entities have been collected by the International Organization for Standardization and compiled in the ISO Latin Alphabet No. 1 table, which includes special characters, letters with diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.), and scientific and currency symbols. The Latin-1 table contains 255 characters.

Disney/Pixar, DreamWorks Animation, Sony, ILM and other movie production studios from Hollywood are using Linux to produce their movies.
I bet not many of you knew this (I didn't until today) but practically every blockbuster movie you see in theaters today was created with Linux. Hollywood prefers to use Linux instead of other operating systems, like Windows or Macintosh, for three simple reasons: it's better, faster and cheaper.
In Hollywood, Linux is considered the state-of-the-art, and 95% of the desktops and servers used at those big budget movie production studios, like Sony and Disney/Pixar, to create special visual effects and animation, are Linux based operating systems. Yes, I know that many of you will say now, "it's not true", "it can't be right" or "I heard they use Mac OS X software", but it is true and Linux is used to render those CGI Blockbusters you probably saw on theaters, faster than any other operating system.If you still have a hard time believing me, you can read the entire article, written by Marius Nestor here.
We did it. We finished the Unit on the WWW. That's great, but now we need to start a new unit.
This unit is about application software. Lets start with our book and see what it has to say about application software. I created a form to help us keep track of the more important facts.
let's get started. Here is the link to the form:
-Mr. H.
You're lucky I already checked your technique for today. I attemped one of these games myself - space invaders - and the pressure was so great I lost all concept of technique.
Try to be better than me. Try to maintain good technique in the face of invading alien space ships.
There are plenty of other games that will help you practice your keyboarding. Take a look and see what you find.
-Mr. H
No form today. I know, I know. You're disappointed.
However, we have quite a bit of learning and reviewing to do today before we're ready for our test tomorrow.
Do you need a moment? Did you read that correctly? Yup. Test tomorrow on E-Mail. This is no ordinary user-based test either. This is the real-deal.
Today we will review CC and BCC as well as cover: Attachments, protocols (SMTP, POP, IMAP, MIME), host vs. IP address, and extensions such as .edu, .com, .org, etc...
We're going to be busy busy busy. Let's get to it.
