Netskills Workshop:
Creating Interactive Web Pages
09:30 - 16:30 Tuesday 11th April 2000 Goldsmiths College
The World Wide Web offers increasing sophistication in
terms of the ways in which it can present information and
the facilities it can offer to users. Techniques are
available which enhance Web pages by 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 workshop is suitable for researchers and academics from any
discipline, university administrators, librarians and
computing service staff.
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:
* 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
* constructing forms in HTML using text boxes, radio buttons and other
form elements
* 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
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
