The IFSM 403 Directory
In class on September 4th, we will go over the unix commands
for creating the course directory structure. Before class, you should
have already planned the NAME you will give to your directory that will
hold the semester's coursework. This directory name should be emailed
to the instructor with your initial email by 10:00 a.m. Sept. 4th .
The email must include the full url for the directory. As an example:
http://userpages.umbc.edu/~your_username/your_directory_name/
Please note that you will NOT create any files under this
directory with the filename index.htm or index.html, so that the directory
appears as a link list rather than as a page.
The complete directory structure for the course is to
be in place by 10:00 a.m. September 9th. This assignment is valued
at 1%.
Your 403_directory will have two sub-directories:
HTML_Text -- a directory to
hold your programming text homework -- and
Project -- a directory to hold
your semester project files
The HTML_Text directory will eventually have sub-directories
for each of the ten text chapters. At this time, it should have one
sub-directory named Tutorial_1
The Project directory will eventually have all the files
for your semester project. At this time, it will be empty.
****File naming conventions****
Micorsoft will allow you to name files with spaces and special
characters. This can cause serious problems in future editing and
maintenance of your files. The proper convention for file naming
should be the use of only letters, numbers and underscores. Spaces
should not appear in filenames. Filenames are case sensitive.
Your web page files will end it either .htm or .html
Note that two the file types are different and do not result in the same
file (e.g., test.htm is not the same as test.html).
