Each team will decide on a website project that apply the techniques and technologies covered in this course. This include XHTML, CSS, Javascript, Forms, design, information architecture, layout, grids, DHTML, DOM, and server-side Perl/CGI programming.

The teams are free to choose and define their own website projects. But the project must be of an appropriate scope and complexity to apply the knowledge gained in this class.

The site plan must be defined and approved by the instructors

The list below are just some suggest projects that may be picked and defined.

It is important to decide on a project early. The semester is not that long :-) First thing to do is to look at the list below and come up with a written plan on what your team propose to do for your selected project.

• The Biology Department's website. Contact Prof. Blank. (James Blank ).
• Site for Tennis Club.
  A local tennis club is intereseted in a website. Contact the instructor for more details.

KSU's Program on Electron Beam Technology (EBT) site. For the EBT program, there is a need for the design of a website. To evolve this site the team should contact Paul Wang first. Then you'll be introduced to Carlos Vargas-Aburto, Assistant Dean for Research, at Kent State University. (Contact: Carlos Vargas-Aburto, cvargas@kent.edu)

The Webix Lab site : This lab will be established within a year to be a part of the Web Communication minor, a joint minor degree program between CS and VCD. It will follow the Glyphics Lab as a model. This site will be a contact point for people in and out of Kent State to reach the Lab and to engage it for Web Development work by students in the minor. (Contacts: Sanda Katila and Paul Wang)
WDP-Studio Course Site
The course site for Web Design and Programming Studio (the third course in the WDP sequence): Follow the WDP-I and WPD-II site as a model, construct the course site for the second course. This would be an exciting project for those who plan on taking the second course in Spring 2000. (Contacts: Sanda Katila and Paul Wang)
