9:45 Web Dev signups

Signups for Website Development | CIS 1151

Remember that this college coursework will be done by all students in the classroom regardless if you sign up or not – it is baked into CAWD. If you are going to “do well” in CAWD, you can start earning college credit while in the room. Separate yourself from your peers while applying to college by showing you can earn college credit in high school!

Course description – right from the college course. We will do MORE than this in CAWD, but this is the minimum that we cover.

This course includes an introduction to web pages for websites: use of and design with HyperText Markup Language, text and graphics; applying appropriate design, color, and art; size and place graphics, including imagemaps, in a web page; creation of advanced tables, including nested tables; creation of forms that contain advanced input types and attributes, text areas, and advanced lists; use of a validation tool to debug an HTML document.

Prerequisites: Students must meet basic skills policy requirements. No other course prerequisites required.

11:00 Morning Break (10 minutes)

10 Minutes break – you have to exit the room.
When the door near the TV is open, you are welcome to come back in.

11:10 Coral Organization for Collaboration

As part of our Coral Reef animation pre-production we are going to be sharing our 3 Corals that we have created. The goal is we share our coral assets in order to create a dense, rich, diverse underwater environment.

We are going to share as a class today. If you were working independently and needed help with assets you would have to go online and find Coral Reef asset packs if you didn’t want to build each and every element on your own.

First we are going to walk through the process of separating the corals using an example file, organizing the assets (Blender and any texture maps) and setting up for collaboration.

11:25 Asset Organization of your work

On the public drive is a folder called “corals”. Your workflow:

Separate your 3 corals to their own blender file (one file for all 3 corals, get rid of the fish). Save as “lastNameCorals.blend“.
Create a render of your 3 corals as if you were attempting to sell your work. This would cost you $49 as an example. Save your file as “lastNameCoralsRender.jpg“.
Create a folder in the “corals” with your last name. In this folder upload:
- “lastNameCorals.blend“
- “lastNameCoralsRender.jpg“
- Any texture map / texture painted asset. If you textured painted all 3 of your corals, you are going to upload the three texture maps.

I need this done before you leave for the day.

Tomorrow we go shopping and build our Coral Reef Environment.

12:15 Lunch (30 Minutes)

No food in the room / eat in the Cafe.
You are welcome to return to the room when you have finished eating and work / hang out.

Follow along as I read; lose yourself in a story for a bit.
One of the strengths of this book are “beautifully rendered scenes“. You will be creating art based off of the text. Listen attentively.
