CS114 Assignment: a web site about You, and the Systems

lake Waban view

Create a small web site, that contains 3 web pages, and write about yourself, and some numeric systems.

The three web pages should be linked together with reasonable anchor text in a way that makes it ease for the viewer to navigate through them.

As you build your web pages, make sure to include as many HTML tags we learned in lab as you can. Include a few images, a couple absolute links to sites outside your little site, some sort of a list, paragraphs, titles, etc.


First page

Give us some information about yourselves. For example, you can tell us about your Wellesley life so far, your family, what courses you are taking this semester, what you like to do in your spare time, and anything else you would like to share. Make sure to add a recent picture of yourself; it will helps your instructors and class mates in their effort to connect names with faces! Include your first name in ASCII code.

Second page

Present a quick tutorial about the Binary System. Explain where and why it is used, and how one can go from Binary to Decimal and vice versa. Use section headers to make your description more readable. Translate your first name from ASCII to Binary, and include it here. (Well, the first five characters, if you get tired of long sequences of zero's and one's. :)

Third page

Present a quick tutorial about the Hexadecimal System. Explain where it is used, and how one can convert from the Hexadecimal to Binary, and vice versa. We we haven't really spent much time in lectures and labs talking about the hexadecimal system. But if you put together what you know about positional numeric systems work and what you have learned about the Binary system, you can understand how the hexadecimal system works, and how to convert between binary and hexadecimal. Certainly, you can also go to the web to read about this system, there is plenty of information there! Translate your first name from Binary to Hexadecimal and include it here. Extra Credit:If your name's hexadecimal representation was a color, what color would it be?


For your convenience, a table with the powers of 2 is included, as well as the binary representations of the decimal numbers from 0 to 15. You may also want to use this cute Binary to Decimal Converter
