CMPT 165-D2 @ Surrey: Lab 1

This lab must be completed during lab hours.

This lab is designed to get you used to working with the tools. You will probably have to download and install some of the course software. See the instructions in the appendices of the Study Guide (Courseware).

  1. If you haven't done it already, set up your SFU account. You can start by going to my.sfu.ca.

  2. Get your initial password for the CMPT 165 web server from my.sfu.ca (select myCourses → CMPT165 → initial password). Change the password to something you'll remember using Usermin on cmpt165.

    See the accounts page for more information on the computer accounts for this course.

  3. Save this empty XHTML file to your computer. Open it with a text editor.

  4. Fill in the title (in the <title>); add a heading (in an <h1>) and a few paragraphs (in <p> tags) to the page (all inside the <body>). You don't have to write a lot: the point is to do the markup, not write an essay.

  5. Open the modified page1.html in Firefox (by selecting File → Open File, and finding the file). You should see the heading and paragraphs you just added.

  6. Upload this file to your web space on cmpt165.cs.sfu.ca. You can find out how to upload your page in Appendix A of the Study Guide. Make sure to put it in the public_html directory.

  7. Go to the page in your web space to make sure it's working there. The URL will be like this (substituting in your userid):

    http://cmpt165.cs.sfu.ca/~userid/file1.html

When you're done, email the URL of the page (that you visited in the last step) to cmpt-165-d2-submit@sfu.ca. The subject of the email must be “Lab 1 submission”. Make sure your name and student number are in the email.
