In a small group, i.e. 2 or three at the most, please complete exercise 4.12 on page 83 and 84.
The file you need, Counter.java is on the file site. Use the button on the left and go to class2 folder. Be sure to take the .txt off the file or just paste the text into jgrasp.
This is should not take more than a few minutes, ok, 15 minutes.
Then I will talk about what you have done. DO NOT PRINT OUT THE RESULT, just show it to me. (And save them!)

This week we will be looking at Office style applications and how they can be used effectively by students and teachers. This blog will provide you with links to the resources we use in class. I will be able to update it during class and you will be able to refer to it during and after class is over.
Syllabus:

Project Descriptions:
First a little background:
From Juli Garton:
Just a friendly reminder that our class tonight begins at 5:00 PM which is 15 minute earlier and will end at 9:00 PM.
Meet in room 213 of the Oconomowoc High School, 641 Forest Hill Rd.
Below is an alternative for folks traveling West from Milwaukee if I-94 is closed at Delafield.
Take I-94 and at Pewaukee
Exit Hwy 16
Take Hwy 16 towards Oconomowoc
Before the construction Exit Hwy 67 South (not North)
You will go over Hwy 16 and immediately turn RIGHT after the bridge on Armour Rd *
Turn left onto Summit
Turn right onto Forest Hill Rd – see sign for high school
Left onto Stadium Drive
Drive past the entrance which is near the Gymnasium and PARK please.
Room 213 is on the second floor and on the East side of the school. We took the elevator, but you can take the stairs that require you to walk up and then down ½ a flight to get to room 213. I will be on hand to help you find the room.
High School staff warned me that the lab gets warm with all the computers turned on, but today I would expect it to be comfortable based on the nice weather.
The trip from Madison may take a little more time – I understand that I-94 is closed. Last Saturday, Hwy 18 was also closed in one place, Hwy B and Hwy 16 had closures. Good luck on your drive.
* If you go to far and miss Armour – you will turn right at Summit and then left at Forest Hill and left at Stadium Dr.
The Main problem is that each time you view the preview or post, blogger changes the code to "their"standard. It looks the same but may be more complicated.
Thanks to Ben Suter for the character converter. Check out his other tools.
A few quick shots:
To change the background image for a whole document:
<body style="background-image:url('blueswatch.gif');">
To change the font for a whole document put this line after the body tag:
<div style="FONT-family:times; font-size:18pt;color:white;">
A font-family is a prioritized list of font family names and/or generic family names . The browser will use the first value it recognizes so be sure to include enough description.There are two types of font-family values:
family-name: The name of a font-family, like "times", "courier", "arial"
generic-family: The name of a generic-family, like "serif", "sans-serif", "cursive", "fantasy", "monospace".
Always offer a generic-family name as the last alternative.
Note: If a family-name contains white-space, it should be single-quoted.
<div style="FONT-family: ‘Comic Sans MS’,cursive; font-size:18pt;color:white;">
The line above will display Comic Sans or another cursive font if it is not available
To set the color and behavior of links in HTML
EXAMPLE:
In the head of your page put code like this to get white links, no underline and a change when the mouse is over them. When visited the link will turn red and when hovering the link will turn green. It will turn white after you click before the new page loads.
<Head>
<style type="text/css">
a:link {color:White;text-decoration:none;}
a:visited {color:red;text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {color: green;text-decoration:none;}
a:active {color:white;text-decoration:none;}
</style>

So where do you get a cool button? Cooltext.com will help you with the button or... you can buy a program that will do it.
The button above was made with ButtonShop3 from Kristanix software. Today, May 21, 2008 it is the GiveAway of the day. Check it out

IMPORTANT: Right click on the installfilezilla.txt file and select save Target As...
Change the filename to installfilezilla.exe (be sure you know where it is saved!)
All you need to do is double-click on this file and follow the directions. Don't
forget to provide a folder name, say "filezilla" on the drive you want to
install to. This can be a flash/pen/usb drive of your choice.
So why do we need to do this filename dance? Because the server won't let us download an executable file.
d it may be released soon. There is talk that it may work inside FireFox. This would make it really neat. As of now it just works for us as an editor. We will still have to upload the results. Click on the logo on the right to go to their website.This course examines the origins, history and evolution of the Internet and World Wide Web. Students develop skills in page design concepts, simple html, including the basic use of Javascript and Java applets. Students also investigate page production tools, development of web-based content, content management systems, on-line web applications and curricular examples. 3 graduate credits.
