Wed Design Course: Basic - Released

I volunteered at Scout Enterprise to get a feel for teaching a basic web design course. Having knuckled down, created a first draft of the course and have exhausted testing the material myself. I felt I needed to release it to the world :)

The course material has been exported to many formats so the various operating system environments (See formats folder) can view them. Please note the course was originally made using AbiWord, I wanted to see what it like using the word processor. The other formats may need minor format correction.

About the course:
Shows the individual whats it like to design a web site from the ground up.

Try out the course for yourself by downloading BURDwdcb1Resources.zip here!

Hint: Extract into a folder and then navigate to formats folder

Google Account may be required to download the resources.

Project : Free Learning Materials

I like to expand my career path and I thought I'd start a small hand at teaching people, I started a volunteer placement at Scout Enterprises. Part of my tasks in the role is to document my findings for best free learning alternative solutions, it then popped that I needed share my other learning materials that I have made for my friends and for myself.

I use Google:Docs and just write the content as simple reading as a human can understand (Similar to Ubuntu) and then share it. They will always remain there and naturally if I see something that requires improving I will improve for myself. You are safe to download and customize the content for yourselves. I'm merely just giving little guiding steps (Forgive my grammar).

Ubuntu : ASP Development

Found XSP is a webserver made in C# to display and run .ASP applications on various platforms which include Linux.

ASP 1.0

Install

sudo apt-get install mono-xsp mono-xsp-base

sudo apt-get install asp.net-examples

Start Server

xsp --root /usr/share/asp.net-demos/

ASP 2.0

Install

sudo apt-get install mono-xsp2 mono-xsp2-base

sudo apt-get install asp.net2-examples

Start Server

xsp2 --root /usr/share/asp.net2-demos/

Testing
Once you have started the server for your desired ASP environment, visit http://localhost:8080/

IDE Environments (optional)
Try out the MonoDevelop project. You should be able to install it via this command

sudo apturl apt:monodevelop

MonoDevelop utilizes the xsp and xsp2 web servers as described above.

Debugging
Apparently you need to have the project compiled with "debug" in order to see "line numbers".
