Exercise 8G.

Complete the conversation between a web designer and his client:

 

Web designer (WD): So (must/should/can) I ask what kind of (web page/website/home page) you want?

Client (C): Well, I’m a singer in a band, and I (needn’t/must/need) an online presence to help with promotion, that kind of thing. I don’t want anything too complicated. It’d be good if it looked nice, though. Perhaps a nice (backgroung/graphics/text) and some attractive (backgroung/graphics/RSS feeds).

WD: OK, that doesn’t sound too complicated. Will you need (streaming audio/plug-ins/Cascading Style Sheets) and (HTML/PDFs/full motion video) , too? I mean, do you want people to be able to listen to your music direct from the site and watch music videos, that kind of thing?

C: Yes, it’d be great if people (could/may/should) do that.

WD: OK, well a visitor (must/might/should) need to download the appropriate (plug-in/HTML/graphics) , but that’s very easy. And what about (Cascading Style Sheets/wallpaper/RSS feeds) ? It’s good if people (may/can/needn’t) find out about any new updates to the site automatically.

C: Sure, but how expensive is all of this going to be?

D: You (may not/can’t/needn’t) worry. It sounds like the kind of job that we’ll do using a (Cascading Style Sheets/web editor/tag) like Dreamweaver. That’ll make things quicker – and cheaper – than hard-coding in (text/HTML/RSS feeds). We also now use something called (Cascading Style Sheets/HTML/plug-ins) , which allow us to add styles to web documents. It’s basically a way of making presentation changes across a website more easily. When do you want the site to (go live/go on/go out)?

C: In a month, if possible. I’ve already written all of the (text/graphics/streaming audio). (Must/Should/Needn’t) I just email that to you?

WD: Yes, please do. I (can/must/might) be able to start work on this next week.

C: OK. Actually, that reminds me, I need to get in touch with the other members of the band and ask them to send me any images that they want to put on the site. Which file formats do you prefer?

WD: Jpeg or gif are best for images, and avi or mpeg for video files. Oh, and any audio files (must/might/could) be in mp3 or wav. That’s better than Real Audio files, which some media players (can’t/needn’t/mustn’t) play.

C: No problem.

WD: OK, then. Once I have all of the files, I’ll (publish/updated/format) the text, insert the graphics and sounds, link all of the pages together, and then we can publish the website. You (should/can/might) try and keep it updated, too. I can help with that, for only a small fee.

C: Great, that sounds perfect.

(R) Reading

Exercise 1R.

Look at the text and illustrations below and find the answers to these questions:

 

1.       What are HTML codes called?

2.       What's the function of HTML codes?

3.       What type of program allows you to design a web page without writing HTML?

4.       How can you view the source code of any web page?

5.       How do you connect your home page with the other pages that you have created?

 

Creating web pages

You can create a basic web page using a text editor or a word processor, but you need to know a code called HTML, or Hypertext Mark-up Language. This consists of HTML commands, called tags, which are placed around pieces of text to tell the web browser how to display text or graphics. You can enter different commands to define text size and font, format paragraphs, add colour, etc.

 

All HTML files:

·     start with <HTML>

·     have heading text that begins with <HEAD>, which has a title enclosed between tags, and ends with </HEAD>

·     have body text that starts with <BODY>, where you place the contents of the actual document (i.e. text, images, links, etc.), and ends with </BODY>

·     end with </HTML>

You can also create links to other web pages by using the tag <A HREF="filename">active text</A>

If you are not familiar with HTML, you can use a Web editor like Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver to simplify the process. Web editors are user-friendly and WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get). Different buttons and menu items enable you to design a page without writing HTML, i.e. they automatically produce the tags for text, tables, image maps, frames, etc. You can view the source code for any page you like by clicking the option "Page source" in the browser's menu.

Websites with an effective use of graphics are more inviting and communicative than plain text. So you may like to insert different types of pictures: scanned photos, bars, icons, backgrounds, and moving images.

Once you have created a few pages, you should join them together with hyperlinks. A hyperlink is a piece of highlighted text or a picture that acts as a link to another page. You can place local links to help readers navigate through your pages. You may also like to insert external links to other people's websites.

 

Exercise 2R.

Can you recognize these basic HTML tags? Match them with the correct function:

 

1.        <HTML> </HTML>

2.        <BODY> </BODY>

3.        <H1> </H1>

4.        <HR>

5.        <IMG SRC = "Image filename">

6.        <I> </I>

7.        <A HREF = "filename" > active text</A>

8.        <BODY BGCOLOR="#000000">

9.        <OL>

10.   <P>

a)      This creates a window with a black background.

b)  These tell your web browser that the file contains information coded with Hypertext Markup Language.

c)       This is used to include an inline image.

d)  This tag indicates a new paragraph.

e)   This part contains the content of your document.

f)         This tag inserts a horizontal line or rule.

g) This is the most prominent level of headings.

h) This indicates a numbered list (also called an ordered list).

i) These enclose italic text.

j) This adds a link to another web page.

Copyright

Software Copyright Issues

Most programs that you purchase are copyrighted and you must not copy them. If you do so you may be breaking the law and if caught, you could find yourself being prosecuted! Many people will buy a copy of a game and make a copy for their friends or other family member. This is also normally unlawful. Even lending your program disks or CD-ROM to other people may be breaking the law in most cases. There are numerous organizations, such as FAST (the Federation Against Software Theft), which are dedicated to preventing the illegal copying of software. In a business situation, if your manager tells you to copy software, ALWAYS first make sure that you have a license that entitles you to copy the software, because in many countries, you will be personally liable for damages!

More Information: The Federation Against Software Theft http://www.fast.org.uk

What is freeware?

Some software is made freely available. Demonstration disks often come under this category. In addition, a lot of software is produced by the educational community and is made freely available. Always read any licenses supplied with such software very carefully before use.

More information: http://download.cnet.com/?st.dl.freewarecom..redir

What is shareware?

Shareware is software that is freely available and is designed to let you use the product for free, for a limited period while you decide if you like it or not. After this period, you must legally either remove it, or pay an amount to the producers of the product.

More information: http://shareware.cnet.com

What about software that you find on the Internet

There are some sites on the Internet run by dubious organization’s that might make copies of commercial software freely available. If you download any software from the Internet, make sure that it is legal!

What are site licenses?

Many large companies do not go out and buy a certain amount of 'shrink-wrapped' copies of each software product that they need, instead they will buy a site license. These site licenses are different in their small print, but generally mean that the companies purchasing the license can make a fixed numbers of copies available to their staff, normally via a company network.
