CS552 Assignment 2 (fun)
As the new underling partner in "Lambda Consultants, l.l.p.," you've
been chosen to take care of the work end of a recent bid that the senior
partners landed a deal on. Specifically, the
Professional Program in
Computer Science at the University of Chicago needs a new design for
their web pages, and you're gonna
make the best one ever. You're sure of this. Oh boy, are you ever sure of
this.
Now of course, there are some requirements:
- Base your content on the current pages - redesign them. Or maybe not.
- You need to come up with at least three pages.
- It must work and look (roughly) the same under Netscape and IE.
- The senior partners have decided that they want some of that JavaScript
thing. So you'd better use it. Hey, the more the better, right?
- The senior partners want a really active, flashy, and
attention-grabbing site.
- Yeah, that means really cool graphics.
Other than that, you are free to use your imagination. If there are some
really good ones, we'll exhibit the "bestest" sites in class.
Last year's killer entry (by E. Plater).
To hand in, send email to cs552-handin@cs.uchicago.edu with your name and
the URL of where the web pages are. We'd prefer if you use your own web
server but it's not critical for this assignment. Due: Tuesday, April 10,
at midnight.
Hints
- Look at "cool" web sites and steal from them.
- Try not to use a tool like FrontPage. You can do so much more evil with
vi.
- Normally, we'd say not to use frames. But maybe not in this assignment.
