> 09:30 - 16:30 Tuesday 18th July 2000 Manchester University
>
> The web offers increasing sophistication in the ways it can present
> information and facilities it can offer to users. Techniques are
> available which enhance web pages, allowing the user
> to interact with the page and influence the type and
> content of information being delivered. Methods ranging
> from CGI and forms to Java and
> JavaScript, are increasingly being used to provide a
> range of interactive features for teaching, learning,
> marketing and general information provision, using easily
> accessible techniques.
>
> This is a practical workshop for users of the World Wide Web who have
> had some experience of creating basic web pages and want to add
> interactive elements. Whilst it may be attended as a stand-alone
> workshop, it also follows on from the Netskills workshop Authoring on
> the World Wide Web.
>
> Workshop Content:
> The workshop will comprise presentations, demonstrations and
> hands-on sessions with opportunities for questions and discussion.
> Participants will each receive a workbook which contains workshop
> exercises, presentation slides and other relevant materials.
>
> Topics covered will include:
> * constructing forms in HTML using text boxes, radio buttons and other
> form elements
> * investigating use of the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) to allow
> execution of server programs
> * making use of ready-made CGI scripts to interface with web pages
> * using CGI to allow the processing of form data e.g. using search and
> mail utilities
> * the use of Java and JavaScript to create interactive effects
>
> By the end of the workshop participants will have:
> * seen a variety of interactive web page techniques
> * investigated a number of examples of interaction on the web
> * created a variety of form elements
> * investigated how CGI operates in isolation and in conjunction with
> forms
> * explored aspects of JavaScript and its relationship with other
> programming technologies on the web, such as Java
> * incorporated an example of JavaScript interaction in a Web page
> * embedded a Java applet into a web page and used configuration
> parameters
>
> Workshop Requirements:
> Participants should have previously used the World Wide
> Web through a browser such as Netscape or Internet
> Explorer and MUST have authored simple web pages
> using HTML. Knowledge of basic HTML tags such as for
> including images and hypertext links is essential.
> Experience of using Microsoft Windows for opening and
> saving files and opening and closing applications such as
> a Web browser would be helpful. Note that this workshop
> does NOT require programming skills from participants,
> and is not designed to provide comprehensive
> programming competency in CGI, Java or other technologies.
>
> The cost of the workshop is £ 105 for participants from higher and
> further education. Other participants should contact Netskills for the
> relevant fees.
