Principles, Practices and Project Managment 1

Creating a webpage

       For this week we have to create a webpage that has an introduction about us.  I have some basic HTML experience so I tried a few programs to create and edit webpages.  The first program I tried was seamonkey it is a very nice application that allows you to edit and view your page in real time.  The next program i try is a newer and called KompoZer it is very similar to seamokey and has tabs to see HTML source, HTML tags, WYSIWYG editor and a preview pane.  I created a main index page that has my introduction on it along with links for each week currently the future links go to a under construction page.  For my main page I found I nice template from http://www.opendesigns.org/ that allows its use under the CREATIVE COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE.  For this page and the Final project idea page I used KompoZer and just a basic text editor to create them.  

Below are a screen shots from KompoZer that shows the WYSIWYG editor and the HTML source tab.

Learning GIT

    I have never really used git the only time I tried I was able to just copy the code.  For this class we will be using git to push and pull to the class repository.  GIT has a very good help and tutorial so I went thru the tutorial to learn the basic commands. 

 

The Frist task I had to preform was to install git I did this by using sudo apt-get install git

install git


The next screen shots are part of the git tutorial.  I made small pratice repos and added and pulled files between two cloned repos.

git commit


Clone the repo

git clone


Adding files and pull

git pull
