For Chap 4, you will also do the Pacific Trails Resort case study. Be sure to do exactly what the textbook instructs.

Do not do anything extra because I am measuring your ability to be precise. FYI, you will also be doing the Pacific Trails Resort case study for Chapter 4, and there is no creativity involved in these assignments. Don't worry, however. Starting with Chapter 7, you'll have very wide latitude for self expression.

  • Why Validate
    I am always urging [demanding] that you validate HTML and CSS pages. Although I have explained some of the reasons, by reading this article, you will appreciate gaining further enlightenment beyond what we have discussed so far. For instance, the prospect of yielding higher traffic to websites is an appeal to any developer.

  • Study guide for Friday's test (You can practice at home)
    • The test on Friday will focus on efficiency, accuracy, and knowledge of coding. You will not have to worry about creativity such as color schemes or layout. Everything will be specified step by step. Also, I will provide the images of the right sizes as well. For practice, it would be good to practice creating a page such as the one below. The test WILL NOT BE EXACTLY like the one below, but it's good practice. You may use placeholder/dummy text and image to simulate it.
