Why are we doing this? HTML is the basic language for presenting information via the Internet. While there are many programs that will create HTML for you automatically, such as Dreamweaver, in this assignment you will not use these programs. Rather, in order to be a professional you need to know how to write HTML by hand. The best way to do this is just to build web pages. How I want you to do this assignment I want you to write your pages for this assignment using Notepad, or some similar plain text editor. You might feel this is unrealisticthat a real professional would never create a site this way. Actually that is not true. Many true professionals actually prefer to code their HTML by hand with a text editor because they can have more control over their code, and they can really understand whats going on with their web pages. By doing this by hand it will take you longer to create your pages, but you will understand HTML 1000 times better! The Assignment Here are your instructions: 1.Using Notepad or any other text editor, create a .html file . For example, your file could be called MyFirstHTML.html.

2. For this assignment you are to build a webpage for one of the US National Parks or for a UNESCO site. I will send each of you an email indicating which National Park or UNESCO site you will be assigned for this assignment. The site you create will be used to get the word out about these national and international treasures. Your site should contain the following information:

• Name of the National Park/UNESCO site
• Location
• Opening and Closing times
• Events/Tours/Things to do
• Entrance Fees (if none indicate free)
• Interesting facts the site (what makes it unique)
• Date established/size (acreage)/# of visitors per year
• any other pertinent information

3.The HTML file will have the following elements and meet the following specifications:

(NOTE: a and b apply only to your XHTML document)

3. Your page MUST conform to the www.w3.org XHTML 1.0 standard. You can use the HTML Validator at the w3 website to check your page for conformance. Please include the following code:

   

   b. Have an appropriate XML declaration c. Have an appropriate DOCTYPE tag d. Have a tag that correctly indicates which character set you are using e. Have an appropriate title for your page f. Create and link in a style sheet g. You should NOT use any formatting tags e.g. , , etc. and you should not use the formatting attributes of tags, such as bgcolor, etc. h. Please include at least two images in your document. One should have a link to another page; the other does not i. Have a table to organize your page j. Have a bulleted list (unordered) k. Have a numbered list (ordered) l. Have a list within a list n. Have a hyperlink that is represented as text o. Have headers of different sizes p. Text of different fonts and colors
4. paragraphs of text
5. You will create your page using XHTML. Once you have created this page you must then re-create it using HTML5.
6. Under Week 0 there is a posting called Web Development Tools. Every modern browser includes a powerful suite of developer tools. These devtools, as they are commonly called, will be quite helpful in inspecting/debugging your browser side code. These tools can do a range of things from inspecting currently loaded HTML, CSS or JavaScript to showing which assets the page has requested and how long they took to load. Debugging skills are as an important a skill set to have as programming skills and these tools will aid you in the process. This posting will show you how to access the Development Tools for several of the most common browsers used today.
7. Be sure to test your webpages on more than one browser. (Safari/Firefox/Chrome/Opera/Edge)
8. Upload ALL your files to the public_html folder of your AFS account using whatever FTP client you are comfortable with. I have posted information regarding two clients that I feel are easy to use. This can viewed under Week ONE under FTP Client. When you are done the URL for your web page will be http://web.njit.edu/~yourUCID/your document name.html. 8. ALSO, please upload your files PLUS a file containing the URLS where your assignment is located in Canvas. Without the URL I will not be able too grasde your assignment. The time stamp recorded by Canvas will be the timestamp that I use to determine if your assignment is on time or not. 9. I would also like a one page discussion on the differences you see between XHTML and HTML5. Think about the ease of coding between the two, the syntax between and the difference in style (i.e. tags, etc.) to name a few things to discuss. This report should also be uploaded to Canvas along with your other files.
