CS 1100: Web Development: Client-Side Coding

Homework 1: Installing and Using Our Tools

Submission due Friday, September 6, by 11:59 PM

Instructions

The main goal of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to set up the software tools we will use in the course, and to begin to familiarize yourself with how they work. A second goal is to introduce you to the mechanics of future assignments: downloading code to work with and submitting your work for review.
If you have any questions, or if something doesn't work as expected, please let me know. We are all learning here. Let's figure it out.

Tasks

1. Download and install the software tools we need:
VS Code
Firefox
Chrome

If you already have one or more of these programs installed on your computer, great! That step is done.
If you don't have a laptop, you can go to one of the CHAS labs and use a computer there to complete the assigment. If possible, though, I hope you'll install these tools on your own computer so that have them available to work on the course any time that is good for you.

2. Download this zip file. You may need to control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File".
Unzip the file to create the hw01 folder. It contains a small HTML file and a small CSS file, similar to the ones we saw in Session 1.
