Talked about server-side processing (PHP) and client-side scripting (javascript). The base-level web interaction involves only straight text and pictures. Fancier features (like those folding/expanding titles) involve something active in the browser to change the page, and that's what scripts do. Sometimes the designer wants to give the browser custom information on each page load, and the server can do things and show the results to the browser. This is the basic jist of the class. If this isn't clear as day, ask for clarification.

We finally got everyone logged into the CS department linux servers using puTTY on the lab machines. Using the nano text editor in the terminal, we started our first web page using the most basic tags. If you need help with putty, linux, or html, I have all the how-to's and tutorials here on the course page.
Assignment 1 is due Tuesday, September 14th at the beginning of class.
