File Transfer Protocol

File Transfer Protocol

For homework this week, you were asked to set up a hosting account with zymic. Zymic uses FTP (file transfer protocol) to transfer files from your local computer to your Zymic hosting account.

Filezilla is the open source FTP software that we will be using. For more information on Filezilla, click on the Filezilla logo. If you want to see what other open source software is available for download, the Source Forge website is a very good reference.

In this weeks class you are learning to include and manipulate images that we have provided to you. When using images from the Internet you should be aware of who owns the images and if you are allowed under copyright laws to re-use or alter them. Creative Commons provides a way for people to share their work, be it an image, music, book or video through a creative commons licence. Try searching for images using Google that have a creative commons licence. (This is done in the advanced search options in Google's image search).

A Culture of Sharing
Creative Commons is building a culture of sharing. By allowing your work to be available to millions of other creators on the web, you might be responsible for the next big thing. Find content you can share, use and remix.
The Creative Commons copyright licenses and tools forge a balance inside the traditional “all rights reserved” setting that copyright law creates. Our tools give everyone from individual creators to large companies and institutions a simple, standardized way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work. The combination of our tools and our users is a vast and growing digital commons, a pool of content that can be copied, distributed, edited, remixed, and built upon, all within the boundaries of copyright law.

Creative Commons includes the following:

1. Images
2. Video
3. Documents
4. Music
5. Journals
6. Courseware

Welcome to the Web Development 2011 blog. This site is designed to be a used in the Web Development Labs as a source of content for some simple exercises you will be asked to do. Essentially, we will put up one or two posts here each week, and ask you to copy this into a replica of this site as an exercise getting acquainted with the basics of HTML.

The term ''Information Graphics" or 'infographics' refers to a visual representation of data or knowledge, sometimes complex knowledge, that is hard to convey easily in text. Wikipedia article here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_graphics. In this weeks class you will have seen an information graphic on the evolution of the web - taken from this site here: http://evolutionofweb.appspot.com/. See if you can find a few others related to the the web, html and the internet in general, and insert them into your own replica of this site.
