I will review 4 conepts in this lesson
1. Dreamweaver basics.
2. Creating Pop out menus in Dreamweaver
3. Cascading Style Sheets
4. Server Side includes.

Since we are limited to a 2 hour lecture I will not provide extensive instruction but instead an overview of Dreamweaver and a review of CSS and SSI concepts covered in the HTML courses. The CD used for online students of CIS 58.51B can be used in the labs for a review of CSS and SSI.

TO DO LIST

Project Managers- this week you can continue to work on the Web Proposal project. Meet to solidify the storyboard, work chart, timeline, production standards, and contract. Make sure the content developers understand the storyboard and will be able to create Web pages based on this document. Also make sure they have looked at client content and understand where stuff goes. If they are confused try and help. Answer any questions the designer may have about the template. Be supportive and encouraging, designers get anxious about their work. Pester the client about missing content.

Designers - Work on the mock up. Use client content such as photos or logos (hopefully the client has supplied these). If you want client input at this point, put a mock up on the web and ask them for an opinion, or meet with them in person and ask for input. If you have a free hand just design the mock up. Remember - I am happy to give input and your fellow designers will also offer feedback.

Programmer - Let's make some code. Create a simple script and use mock data to see if the script does what you want it to do. Feel free to run this script by the other programmers in class. Before you promise a script that will do certain things, make sure you have the skills to produce such a script.

Content Developers - Brush up on table code, review concepts of CSS and SSI as well as basic HTML code. Send notes to your team so you can get what you need for the list of deliverables. Also discuss the production standards with your team to make sure everyone is OK with what you are proposing. Place the shell site up on the Web and ask the client and the team to look it over.
