McFarland Chapter 1 Set Up

1. Download the Missing CD:

See the publisher's web page for Dreamweaver CC 2nd Edtion and click the link for "Download Tutorial Files".

Your computer will download a .zip file and then unzip the file to create the folder "MM_DWCC" (check your browser's "Downloads" window; on some computers or with some browsers, you may need to double-click the zipped folder to open it).

Next, copy the folder "MM_DWCC" (not the .zip file) onto the top level of your USB drive (on the same level as the "www" folder so your folders at the top level of your USB look like this:

MM_DWCC
web design
www

2. Copy the "Chapter01" folder from "MM_DWCC" folder to your "exercises" Folder

Your folders should now look like this:

MM_DWCC

web design

www

4230

exercises

Chapter01

action

assets

glocal

assets

scene

assets

Important

Every time you begin a new McFarland Chapter tutorial, copy the chapter's folder from "MM_DWCC" to your "www/4230/exercises" folder and work on that copy you moved. The copies of the tutorial materials in the "MM_DWCC" folder should remain untouched, just as you downloaded them.

3. Open Dreamweaver, and Define a "Local Site" for this "New Page" Exercise

Create a new folder called "newpage" inside of your "exercises" folder (www/4250/exercises/newpage).

Inside, "newpage," create a new sub-folder called "assets".

Next, follow McFarland's directions starting on page 23 for setting up a site in Dreamweaver for a particular project or exercise. You will use this same process for each of the tutorials in the McFarland book.

4. Create a New Web Page that Re-Plicates our "Moby Dick" Page from Last Meeting

Follow McFarland's directions for Creating a Web Page starting on page 28.

Save the result into the new folder "www/4250/exercises/newpage"

In Dreamweaver, we will re-create the "Moby Dick" page we produced in HTML last meeting. Copy the text from below and we will format it:

Moby Dick

Chapter One: Loomings

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago...

Download the image below into the "assets" folder inside "newpage."

5. Start the Homework

If you have time, begin the homework of completing the Dreamweaver Test Drive tutorial on pages 49-83.

Important:
On page 37l, McFarland tells you to select the folder "Chapter01" from the "MM_DWCC" folder. Instead, select the copy of the folder "Chapter01" that you copied into your "exercises" folder.
