GDS 45 Online - Assignment 6 - Resume or Reading Summary

First, if you haven't already, follow along with the video for a Simple 1 Column HTML Template, and create the page that is in the video. Use the page as your starting point/template for this Assignment

Then, do 1 of the following options:

Option 1

OBJECTIVE: You will create an HTML Version of your resume (or other similar document if necessary) using the HTML formatting tags you have learned thus far. It will be derived from your own resume. The first page can be a resume, and the second page can be about anything of interest to you, such as a hobby. You will link the 2 pages together.

Possibly helpful techniques and code

There are images of code in the Canvas module that can help with coding the header section of a resume and the individual resume experience entries. You will have to reverse engineer the code, and adapt it for your use. This is opttional and a challenge :) Look in the Canvas instructions and Module.

Option 2

OBJECTIVE: Summarize Ch. 1 and 2 in The Principals of Beautiful Web Design.

See Examples of the Assignment here.

0. The minimum requirements for either option are:
1. Valid Code!
2. 2 linked 'pages'
3. At least 1 ordered or unordered list
4. The background-color CSS property
5. Make sure both pages can stand on their own, and there is good content on both
• That means there is general information at the top of both places
6. Use a color other than black for some text, perhaps for some headings
7. At least 1 external link(a link to another web site)
8. Good formatting of text (typography) on all pages
9. Optional: An image of yourself (Use the image tag).
   • This is optional (for more extra credit), since we may not have covered this yet in an exercise.
   • This video on inline images can help with this requirement.
   • This is the specific part of the video on basic use of the image tag.
10. Make sure you validate your files as you work and before you turn it in at:
    http://validator.w3.org

• You will be graded on these requirements and your overall design. Research resumes to get ideas if you are doing option 1.

Again, before you turn in your files, make sure you...

• Validate your document at:
  http://validator.w3.org
  It can help you spot coding errors.
• Zip the whole site folder to attach to your submission. Don't submit separate files, because the links will probably not work.
  • To turn in assignments with multiple files or folders, it works best if you put all files in a folder and zip the folder. It is important to name your folder correctly BEFORE you zip it to send, so I know who's folder it is.
    Please name you folder like this
    firstname_lastname_assignX
    where X is the assignment number.
    Then when you zip the folder, I will know it is yours.
    To zip the folder:
    To zip a folder on a PC, create the folder with your name on it like this
    firstname_lastname_assignX
    and put the files needed in it, then right click, select "send to," and finally "compresses (zipped) folder". On a mac, control click or right click on the folder and select compress. Remember to name the folder before compressing it, so I can see who's it is when it is uncompressed.
