Week 4

As salam..this week class  have been quite of challenge for me..i didn't complete the objectives ...hohohoho..

checklist

Start this week class with the checklist from week 3 - alhamdulilah manage to do and  tick most of it except for items  no 9 and 10.
Well to begin with , Prof Zaidatun explained about Dreamweaver timeline, layers and frame function.







This week class , Prof Zaidatun guide us on  items no 9 and 10 from the checklist given.
The items are :

• Demo on dynamic website using ASP
• Installing IIS

Before move on to practical part, we need to understand the theories part. One thing to remember : not all server can support dynamic pages- we need to choose especially for free server.

New information for me related to Microsoft Frontpage - The new  version is called "web expression" and it's not included in Microsoft Package as it used to be before.

Hands on time! 

Installing IIS 

This week i started  using my own laptop and will continuously using it after this to make it easier for me to do all the works or revision  related to this subject at home.

 1st question we need to answer by checking the configuration - How to know IIS is on?

• Go to Control Panel
• Choose program
• Choose Turn Windows features on or off 
• Click at IIS

Note: The steps are differ based on the Operating System

Next we check at local drive ,usually c drive and try to find a folder name Inetpub. 

After that , open a browser and type in the word localhost at the address bar. It' s a successful if we see this screen.
