ICS 111, Introduction to Computer Science
Lab 3 - Your First Applet - January 25

During last lab you shoudl have done the following: Update your Shell in UNIX - Set up your Personal Home Page in UNIX
Failure to do both the steps above will make it so you cannot do your third lab, so please be sure they're done.

Note:  1 lab this week.  Since it covers 2 lab periods it will be worth 2 points.

This lab will help the student by:

• Familiarizing the student with the way that homework should be submitted.
• Teaching the student how a JAVA applet is created/edited
• Teaching the student how to compile and run a JAVA program
• Practice using the ICS lab account
• Use of UNIX (PICO) from the ICS labs
• Learn to attach files using PINE
• Learning to use your UH web site

Note:  The login / password that you signed up for is for using the computers in the lab this semester.  Please write down your username and password and keep it in a safe place, since you will need this for every lab this semester..  This user name / password is only for gaining access to the lab computers, and has nothing to do with logging into UH UNIX. 

Also, be careful and make sure that you logout from the computers when you leave the lab or other persons may see your stuff or use your account to do "bad" things.

Instructions:

To receive credit for this lab assignment, you must be finished by Friday, January 28, at 11:59 p.m.  After this time you will not receive any credit.  Future lab assignments will be due by 11:59 p.m. on the day of the lab assignment.

• Write and post a Java applet
• The applet will be a Java version of a business card.
• It should contain the following information:
  • Name
  • Address
  • Phone number(s)
  • Logo
• The logo must be a java graphic created by you.
• Your HTML page with your applet- put it in a creative location that might be hard to find.  We will have no problem since you will turn in your URL to your assignment.
• The same stuff you wrote about yourselves in the 1st assignment should be posted on your HTML page that contains your applet.

Technical Requirements:

• The name should be in a different font and of a larger size from that of the address and phone number. The font color may be any color that you choose.
• The logo should consist of a figure/drawing/design that will made of at least 4 different shapes (from the ones that we learned in class). The logo should have at least 2 colors. One of them should be a java predefined color and another should be a color you create.
• Your .class file and .html file should have permissions set to 755, while your .java file should be set to 700.  This will allow us to see your applet online, but will make it so that other students cannot see your source code.  Do not have your source code with permissions such that other students can see your work!  Failure to do so will result in a large deduction of points.

Sample from Blanca:  http://www2.hawaii.edu/~tp_200/ics111/material/businessCard.html

Notes:  Don't forget that Java and UNIX are case sensitive.  Therefore 'helloworld.java' isn't the same as 'HelloWorld.java'.  Also, remember that your class name must match your file name.  If your class name is 'Frank' then your filename would be 'Frank.java'.  You would compile by typing 'javac2 Frank.java' and you would run the program by typing 'java2 Frank'.

* Your program must compile without any errors, and must display in a web browser properly to receive credit for this lab.
