CS006: Lab 2
Multi-Web Page Personal Website
In lab 2 students will develop a Multi-Web Page Personal Website. Each web page will share a similar structure and layout. Semantic HTML elements such as header, main, section, nav, and footer will form the basic structure of the website. The intended audience are potential employers, college professors, classmates, and prospective colleagues. The four page website includes a homepage, index.html, with content about the student’s interests and background. In addition there is an academics.html web page with listed coursework, a professional.html with simple resume, and personal.html with bucket list and goals from lab 1.
1.1 Create lab 1 folder
1. Login to your AWS account: Use Google Chrome only.
https://959097940486.signin.aws.amazon.com/console
2. Open Cloud9 in AWS. Locate your home folder:
● The home folder (aka root directory) name has the same name as the AWS environment you created when signing up for AWS.
● The home folder’s name consists of cs006_fall23_ (lowercase c, lowercase s, zero, zero, 6, underscore, lowercase w, lowercase i, lowercase n, 2, 3, underscore) then your NetID in all lowercase (no spaces in between).
● For example, if your NetID was kflynn001, then the environment name will be cs006_fall23_kflynn001.
● All of your individual lab folders will be created inside of your home folder.
● We will use a slightly different folder naming convention for the lab 1 folder we will create in the next step.
3. Create a New Folder - Select your home folder. On Windows first right-click, for a Mac press and hold down two fingers on the trackpad, until a drop down menu opens. From the menu click on New Folder. A new folder will be created inside of your home folder (environment).
4. Rename New Folder - Select the New Folder (same way as previous step). From the menu click on Rename. This will highlight the folder’s name. Rename the new folder as follows. Your lab 1 folder name should be your NetID followed by an underscore ‘_’ followed by lab1 followed by an underscore ‘_’ followed by your lecture section number in the format section001, section002, or section003. Below are meeting times for all sections.

Example - If your NetID was klynn001 then your lab 1 folder name would be one of the following based on your lecture section.
kflynn001_lab2_section001, kflynn001_lab2_section002, or kflynn001_lab2_section003.
1. Download - There are no starter files for this lab. Students will create an index.html from scratch. Then create the other webpages by duplicating a portion of index.html.
2. Upload - There are no starter files to upload to AWS Cloud9. Proceed to the next section, 1.2 Homepage.
1.2 Homepage
1. In your lab 2 folder (for example, kflynn001_lab2_section001), create an HTML file named index.html. The index.html file is commonly used to represent the home page of a website.
2. Open index.html in edit mode in Cloud9.
3. Add on line 1 in index.html. , the Document Type Declaration, specifies to the browser that the document is written in HTML5.
4. Addon line 2 of index.html.
5. Place your cursor in between the opening and closing html tags:here. Then press the return key once, moving the closingtag down two lines. Thetag marks the beginning of the HTML document.
6. Addinside the html element:here.
7. Place your cursor in between the opening and closing head tags:here. Then press the return key once, moving the closingtag down two lines in the code.
Thetag marks the document head. The head element contains information that describes the web page document. It also includes information browsers will use to properly display the web page.
8. Addinside the html element after the head element,after head element here. The body element should be placed after the entire head element, that is after closingtag and before closingtag.
9. Place your cursor in between the opening and closing body tags:here. Then press the return key once, moving the closingtag down two lines in the code.
10. Add (copy-and-paste the entire line of code) the followingelement with the given attribute values insidehere.

index.html: add,,, and to
1. Add
insidehere. The header element is a structural element that contains content such as a navigation menu.
2. Add
inside the body element:after header element here. The header and main elements will be in sequence in the document, i.e. header element occurs first followed by the main element. The main element contains information considered the central part of the webpage content.
3. Add four
elements insidehere. Using your cursor and the return key, add a new blank line between each openingtag and closingtag. Once done there should be 4 section elements in a row.
4. Add
after the closing tag for element and before the closing tag.
5. Place your cursor in between the opening and closing footer tags:
here. Then press the return key once, moving the closing tag down two lines in the code.
6. If you correctly followed the directions for steps 1-6, the index.html source code should appear as in the image above.
index.html: About Me, My Hometown, Interests and Hobbies and UCR
1. Add a paragraph element,, inside the first section element,
here.
2. In the paragraph element from the previous step, write a single paragraph about yourself. Start the paragraph with the text About Me: in bold. We could use the element to make the text bold, but to make our website more accessible we will use the element. The HTML element indicates that its contents have strong importance, seriousness, or urgency. For users who are visually impaired or use text-to-speech software to navigate and read webpages, indicates this content is important: which content about you is. Read more about its use here. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/strong.
3. To complete the paragraph content, at a minimum, you should answer the following questions. The answers to which will form the paragraph’s content.
What is your name, major, year in college? What year and quarter did you start at UCR? Where did you attend high school? What are your plans after you graduate career-wise? Phrase each plan as a positive affirmation , examples are: I will enter graduate school in ______. I am going to attend law school, then enter criminal law. When I earn my teaching credential, I will become a HS teacher. I will enter the industry as a(n) _______. I will work as a Congressional aid, then run for political office. I am going to work as a social worker in LA County. Points will be deducted for not using positive affirmation. Avoid “want to” or “hope to” or “if...then”.

and
academics.html: Academics web page
Next you will add UCR coursework to academics.html. We will use your current course schedule (Fall 2023) and your previous quarter’s classes (Spring 2023). If this is your first year at UCR, use Fall 2023 and your expected course schedule for next quarter, Winter 2024. Enrollment for Winter 2024 will not open for a few more weeks, so first year students should refer to UCR’s Class Schedule. You can select the Winter 2023 quarter to choose classes that were offered last year. Most of these classes will be offered again in Winter 2024.
