Welcome to CS110 lab!

In the first lab we will practice with using some basic applications, like TextWrangler (text editor), Fetch (file transfer program) and Safari/Firefox (web browsers). We will also become familiar with the process of uploading our stuff to the cs server, and view our web pages over the web.

Here's what we're going to do today:

1. Log into the Macs, which run OS X.
2. Using TextWrangler (or Notepad on PCs), create a simple web page using HTML.
   Note: Do not use Microsoft Word. Don't even cut and paste from Word or FirstClass. This can introduce strange items into your HTML.
3. View it locally in a browser.
   Your browser's location bar should start with file:///Users/
4. Upload it to the cs server via Fetch on Macs (or WinSCP on PCs).
5. View the newly-uploaded page in a browser.
   Your browser's location bar should start with http://cs.wellesley.edu/
6. Modify your web page, in TextWrangler (or Notepad), by adding more text and tags, save it, and view it locally in a browser.
7. Upload the new version to the server, using Fetch (or WinSCP).
8. View it in a browser.
9. Repeat steps 6, 7 and 8 several times.

Optional reading: Meyers Chapters 1-3.
