Based on your results, do you think that knowing more about art is useful for a web coder?
HTML is easy to learn. You can do some very neat things with HTML (a lot more than you would guess). You will enjoy it :)
Here is a good way to get started using an on-line HTML editor and set of simple tutorials
Using the on-line editor you can edit the example HTML code (and/or create your own code), and click on a button to instantly view the result:
Using the on-line editor:
Copy and paste your finished pages from the on-line editor and copy your three files into the folder provided by your teacher.
Why circuits and electrical devices will be even more important in the future:
According to ABI Research & Forbes: By 2020, the Internet of Things will generate 30 billion autonomously connected end points and $8.9 trillion in revenues. IDC predicts that in 2014 we will see new partnerships among IT vendors, service providers, and semiconductor vendors that will address this market. Again, China will be a key player: The average Chinese home in 2030 will have 40–50 intelligent devices/sensors, generating 200TB of data annually. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gilpress/2013/12/03/idc-top-10-technology-predictions-for-2014/#!
“We have a clear vision: To create a world where every object, from jumbo jets to sewing needles, is linked to the Internet” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things
He specialises in technologies which are helping to make the planet smarter, by analysing and reacting to data from remote sensors.
The Internet of Things connects devices and vehicles using electronic sensors and the Internet.
Students can download a complete set of files that they can use to experiment and play with. The files are compatible with all operating systems and most browsers.
You can view the files here
The full set of files have been compressed using '.zip' format. Most operating systems can extract .zip files without requiring any extra software.
DOWNLOAD FULL SET OF FILES (NOTE Total approx 10Mbytes)
Using the above procedure, students may customise and edit all features found in the examples displayed on the website (see links below), plus optionally incorporate their own original multimedia works:
Gaining experience with editing these files will prepare students so that they will be able to easily code their own HTML pages to control devices that will be connected to The Internet Of Things (starting at WPS Term 2 2016).
