Comp 140 - Labs

Laboratory Assignments

The Computer Science 140 lab assignments will cumulatively develop your web page development skills.
Please note - each lab write-up is tentative / subject to updates until it has been flagged with an ok.

You can complete lab assignment work outside of the Camosun College lab area if you have a PC or laptop running Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7 or Apple Mac or Linux, and internet access. The software tools you can use include a text editor capable of syntax highlighting such as NotePad++ 3.5 (free) or Textpad (trial) and either SSH or WinSCP (recommended) to establish remote connection to CST's asimov and deepblue servers. HTML editors like Kompozer can be used after lab 2. Adobe's Flash and DreamWeaver software can be downloaded on a 30-day try-before-you-buy basis.

Do not use Microsoft Word to create your lab HTML files! Microsoft Office products support HTML conversion but they do so by adding an excess of overhead HTML making the files harder to decipher later on.
