lesson 4 reflection

Today we submitted our HTML challenge files to Mr Cheong through the HCI SMB and also wrote a team reflection in our message. Mr cheong briefly reviewed last weeks lesson on HTML coding. We were also introduced to CSS (cascading style sheet). Mr Cheong also informed us that this would be our last blog post. We were given a CSS challenge and assignment. He also told us to join our class Ning group for informal discussions. There will be an IS class test next week.

Lesson 1 reflection

Today we learnt about how web 1.0 was different from web 2.0. We also learnt about the history of the internet. The internet was originally called the ARPANET and it was created by scientists from america for exchanging information regarding the security and defense of their country. Also, we learnt about URL and IP adresses. URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and it is the address of a web page on the internet. IP address stands for Internet Protocol address. It is a numerical code assigned to all computers.
