Get started with XML

Set up to build our Lab work includes:

• Set up class communications
• Administrative startup
• Set up to use your personal computer at home or at school
• Select and set up an editor for XML
• Build a sample XML file
• Set up your account on voyager, our server on the Internet
• Put your XML file on our Internet server
• Send the instructor an e-mail, telling your voyager logon ID

If you have not set up to communicate with the instructor and the class list server, follow the link at the left, and do that now.

Administrative tasks -- boring. Lets get these done, so we can go on to something interesting. Click the link on the left to go to the administrative start up page.

Enough administrative stuff. Let's build an XML file. We will build a very simple XML file.

You have built your page; now follow the link to learn how to put it on the Internet, so everyone can see it.

You have done all the work for Lab1.
Now, send an e-mail to instructor with subject: CIS92A XML Lab1.
In the note provide the following information:

• SUBJECT: CIS 92A XML Lab1.
• Your account id on voyager.
• That you have complete Lab1.
• A grade posting code word. It should be an English word of 7 characters or less. It is optional, but if you do not provide one, your grades are not shown.
• Lab 2 will be a small project. Every student must select a different activity to record information about. You might pick a hobby, such as stamp collecting. You might pick a simple business activity, such as office supplies ordering.

If you are a Hotmail or Yahoo user, make sure the instructor's e-mail address is in your Safe List, in order to receive the reply. ( See Hotmail or Yahoo options for more information. )
