The test next week will be Tue 11:00-13:00 in CSEB-3057. You will use the same computing environment you used in Lab#1, i.e. Windows machines in normal (not labtest) mode. Two type of questions will be on the test: conceptual (what/why) questions based on the ELO's and skill (how) questions based on Lab#1. The scope is the three Infrastructure topics covered up to today's lecture (i.e. next Monday's lecture is out of scope). The questions are web based and you answer them and submit them on the web as well. Click “Test #1” in the weekly schedule (using the same authentication you used in Lab#1 to access the database) to see sample questions of the two types.

The first Lab is tomorrow, 11:00-14:00 in CSEB-3057. It is important that you complete this lab because the applied part of next week's test is based on it. It is highly recommended that you go to the lab tomorrow and familiarize yourself with its platform and software since you will be using this very lab to take the test.

As discussed in lecture today, we are adopting HTML 5 in this course. The elements covered in the book are all part of HTML 5 but you need to know a few additional elements unique to HTML 5. The examples covered in class (see Resources) expose these extra elements.

Lab #1 has been posted; start working on it! You can do the lab in CSEB1002 or in fact from any machine anywhere. All you need is to have the FireFox browser with the Firebug plug-in (both of which can be downloaded for free). To do the database part it is easiest to simply ssh to your cse account on red and use the username student and password secret. To connect to the database, issue the command ij and then connect by typing: <pre> connect 'jdbc:derby://indigo.cse.yorku.ca:9999/CSE;user=student;password=secret'; </pre> After connecting, you can issue any SQL query. You can do so in one line or on multiple lines as long as you terminate the query with a semicolon. Once done, type exit; to quit the ij utility.
