Irini Emanoilidis March 5, 2001 Resume (Assignment #9) State The Problem: I need to prepare a resume with HTML coding and put in on my webpage that I have with IUPUI. I also need to write a STAIR on how I went about to create the resume. Both are due on March 9 by midnight. Tools: Brain: I need to think on how to find background image, background music, and banner. Computer: I need to use my computer to find a resume that I have already prepared in order to copy my information to notepad. Notepad: I need notepad to copy the resume information from my file to it and write my HTML codes. I also need to write the STAIR on a seperate file. Books: I will use the class textbook and another HTML book that I bought. lecture and Notes: I will listen to the lectures on HTML and related subtopics and read the notes of Andy Harris for finding the codes I need. Communication Software 3.5: I need to use this software to FTP my file to the server. Algorithm: My plan is to read the books and notes and listen to the lectures and then take my computer and start creating my resume on the notepad. Once I write the text and the codes then I will seacrh on the Internet for background image and sound and also I will create a banner from Flamingtext.com. After I create all this in notepad I will test it on Internet Explorer and Netscape to see if everytihng is working as I want them to. Finally I will transfer both files (resume and stair) through FTP to the server. Implementation: I read the chapters on the books about HTML, listened to the lectures and looked at the notes on the web. Then I used the file that I had my resume and transfered the text into the notepad. I put the HTML coding to arrange how the text will look on the page. I searched for background image, sound, and I created a banner from Flamingtext.com. I added all these to the notepad and then tested the page. Problem occured with the background music. I could hear it on IE but not on Netscape. I went back to the books and experimented with all the different options that they suggested to do in order to add a background sound. It didn't work. So, I emailed my instructor for help. The same afternoon of the day I emailed for help I checked my webpage and I found out that "miracolously" the background sound was working. So, I emailed the instructor again and informed her of the change. Problem solved. Then, through FTP, I transferred both files to the server. Refinement: It took me a long time to create the banner at Flamingtext.com because I chose a colorful one and the colors were in random order. So, I had to wait a long time to find the colors I liked since I had no control over them. It was frustrating. next time I may choose another banner type or look for another website that offers free banners.
