How to Create and Manage a Web Site, Including CSS and Other Web Management Resources

 

Speakers: Michael Levy Associate Director, Boalt Law Library; Michael Lindsey, Computer Services Librarian, Boalt Law Library

Handouts:

• Casading Style Sheets
• From Scratch
• Handout
• Hands-on Files

Description: Websites have grown in size and scope in many cases to be the primary information store for organizations, as well as its public face.  Designers attempting to overhaul large sites will quickly realize the value in having some mechanism for changing the look of a site quickly without having to edit all the pages involved. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) let us make sitewide decisions regarding layout and display elements such as fonts, colors, borders, images, etc. and lets us store those rules in separate files that may then be consulted by pages throughout the site. Future change - from tweaks to complete overhaul - are as easy as editing the style sheet. Pages load faster, and are much easier to maintain. This session starts with a stripped down HTML document and uses CSS to gradually build it out, going over the concepts and syntax as we go along. This is an introduction to CSS, and is suitable for an audience with a basic familiarity with HTML.

How to Use an Access Database with your ASP Pages

 

Speaker: Christopher Siwa, AALL Web Administrator

Handouts:

• Introduction on Using a Microsoft Access Database with Active Server Pages (ASP)

Description: Using Active Server Pages (ASP) provides beneficial things, but its true capabilities shine through once you turn your ASP pages into data-driven ASP pages. Data-driven ASP pages are pages which connect to databases and either retrieve information from the database and display it, or collect information from the user and store this information back into the database. This session will start with creating a blank Access database and then using it with ASP pages to collect and display information from the database. This is an introduction to using Access databases with ASP and is suitable for an audience with a basic familiarity with HTML and ASP.
