Template for CS 115, 116, 136 Webpages

In the interest of consistency through some of the introductory CS courses, a template has been created that should be, where possible, adhered to. There are further details for the CS135 webpage here: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/view/ISG/CompSci135TutorDuties.

Files that should be included (available at the bottom of this page).

• standard-style.shtml (a server-side-include that sets the style of the webpage)
  • style.css (a generic style sheet that is followed in all of the course websites)
  • unique.css (a smaller style sheet that specifies variables (like colours) to differentiate the websites
    • See the example of what was done for the CS 115 Webpage (Aug 2009)
• standard-init.shtml creates the beginning of the form of the webpage, and includes the left-hand list of links
  • toc.shtml (the table of contents list, to be embedded in standard-init.shtml)
• standard-fini.shtml (the footer of the page, closes off the format in insets the validation certification pages)
  • lastModifiedFooter.shtml (a line that updates the time the page was last updated)

The only files that should be edited to suit the course are unique.css and toc.shtml, and the header in standard-init.shtml, to account for the title of the course.

Do not try to open the server-side-include files in a browser, because they are not meant to be complete stand-alone .html webpages.

In addition, the index page should have a server-side-include of the announcements. (See CourseWebpage for more details on the announce command)

The file template.shtml is a template for what the basic page should look like.

Post the Specifications

In terms of maintaining the website as a whole, there will be some areas that tutors are responsible for updating (such as the tutorials page and the Tutor Office Hours page). (outdated: Generally the instructors take care of posting the specifications but) make sure you verify what the instructors are going to manage.
