This assignment is about Web programming, in any language you choose, as long as it runs on a server where you have scripting privileges.
For most of you, I recommend using PHP (for which there are lots of
tutorials on the web)
on the Math/Computer Science
Department server (known as either knuth.adelphi.edu
or
compsci.adelphi.edu
). It's a standard Linux machine.
You should all have accounts on it, with your username being your
last name; passwords have been given out in class.
Any Web pages you put in your public_html
directory will
be visible on the Web at http://knuth.adelphi.edu/~yourname
.
Any executable scripts you put in your cgi-bin
directory
will be visible on the Web at
http://knuth.adelphi.edu/cgi-bin/yourname
.
Write a Web page that displays as either "Good morning!", "Good afternoon!", or "Good evening!" depending on what time of day it is.
Write a Web page that asks the user for his/her name and age (using an HTML form), then when the user clicks "Submit", displays another Web page that uses both of those pieces of information, e.g. to say whether the user is old enough to drink.
Write a Web-based survey satisfying Dr. Krishnamurthi's web-programming assignment.
You are encouraged to do this in teams of two, both students working together on all parts of the assignment; if you do this, turn in one homework with both names on it. I would prefer that you switch partners from one homework to the next, so you get more experience working with different people and so that I have an easier time computing a grade :-)
