CS 110 Introduction to Computing
Project #0: Your Homepage
This project is to get you used to and using the computing environment that you will be using for the remainder of the course. At the end of this project you will have created a homepage that contains a small java applet.
Due Date: September 9, at the beginning of class
Submit:
- A printout of the code for your applet.
- A printout of the html in your web page
- The URL of your web page.
- Write less than 1 page about the following: Moore's Law suggests that computer speeds double every 18 months. This implies that 10 years from now computers will be about 100 times faster than they are today. Describe 3 ways in which this predicted speed change could affect your life. Originality and explanation both count.

Notes:
-
This project is easy because almost all that it requires is that you follow the directions in Chapter 2 of Getting Wired with Java Linux.
-
It is important that you type the program in (don't copy and
paste it); typing it is part of practicing learning how to program,
and is one of the main points of this project.
-
When you look at the program, do not worry about the details of the
program. We will be spending the rest of the semester explaining what
they mean! You just need to get accustomed to typing in a program and
getting it to run for now. Even this, you may find, will take a
long time, so be sure to allow yourself enough time to finish the
project (start early on it!).
-
Be CAREFUL that you type it in EXACTLY, paying close attention to the syntax.
A simple typing error will be enough to make your program not run properly
or at all. Every Java instruction has to be written with proper punctuations
as well as with consistent use of upper/lower case character combinations.
-
At the top of your program, add the something like the following lines:
/*
NAME
: <type your name here>
PROJECT:
Hello World
FILE
:
Hello.java
PURPOSE:
Project#0 for CS110
DESCRIPTION:
Hello World
*/
-
Make sure you enter your name in the NAME
slot at the top of the program.
-
Try to do this exercise during one of the TA sessions so there will be
some help available in case there are any difficulties.

EXTRA CREDIT (Add 2 points): Change the applet so that it includes your name.
EXTRA CREDIT (Add 5 points): Add to your homepage an applet from somewhere else on the web. Be sure to say on your homepage where the applet came from.
