	Online Course Orientation Prerequisite For those courses which require web pages (421, 422, 423, 424) added to your existing UMKC site, as assignments, you should already have had a web design course (i.e. 310) from which you should have created a website located on the UMKC web servers. A Work Around Some of you do not have this pre-requisite but you are here anyway and you want me to make up the course you are missing. So this is a Quick & Dirty way to put up an assignment page. This is not the same as the pre-requisite, just a work-a-round. You are also free to check the material in the A&S 310 intro to web design as an additional reference. Course-Materials Resource Note: For class-usable media files for video editing, media and other classes pick up a disk in the PACE office. They are free, for you to keep, and contain a lot of trial/and/free software as well as a bonus fan movie - ask at the desk for the disk (kept in a transparent file folder my box) (if needed I can mail you a copy) Applications include: FTP programs, HTML editors (text and graphical), trial video editor, Open Office and more.
	Course Start and End Dates: Click here for the UMKC Academic Calendar Thank You, Mike Strong Pre-Requisite Note: Four of the courses (421, 422, 423, 424) assume that before taking them you will have taken a course in creating a working WWW website on the UMKC web servers. For each of these four courses you will be creating a new page in that existing website as your assignment page. Publishing your (421, 422, 423, 424) page to your personal UMKC website is the way you "hand it in." Make sure you get all your quizzes. In some of the courses the questions are the major part of your grade. For the database course (400D) you will be handing in a completed database to me as an attachment in email. You will see two sets of links for some of the articles and exercises, 2003 and 2007. Use the links for the version of Access database you have to work with. The interfaces are different enough that you need to pick one version of the Access database and stick with it.
	Downloads Files for Video Editing Exercises For some exercises it may be more convenient to use these files which work directly in the class exercises. Download Video Exercise Files Click Here   FileZilla FTP program (for moving files to and from your website) FileZilla FTP program (application) - This is a terrific small FTP program which handles UMKC sites very well. FileZilla allows you to move (copy) files between your own machine (local) and the web server (remote). The portable FileZilla is especially nice in that it can be installed on a thumb drive and used on any machine you are at where you can install a thumb drive. On caution though: it will keep bugging you to update. Don't. You will be updating with the standard install which won't work from your thumbdrive. Although you can access your website directly from on campus it is better if you learn to upload your files with FileZilla (which gives you a way to move files between your local drive and the web server with any system, not just at UMKC). The on campus "cheater" transfer method should be used mainly to check to see whether you have write permissions in your web-space folder. Again, it is more direct using the N drive but hosting and moving web file won't work that way anywhere else so please, for your sake, learn to understand the FTP application (in this case FileZilla).

For appointments during the day I usually prefer the PACE office lab because it doesn't generally fill up. In the evening 314 is usually a good bet.

(or PDF catalog artfuldancerlessons Logging In If you are a UMKC student your login name is the same as your UMKC user name (the portion of your UMKC email to the left of the commercial-at (@) sign). The Password is different. Your starting password HERE (for quizzes) is the word password. Change it later, yourself. If you haven't logged in here before and if you are not a UMKC student the starter login is your first initial and your lastname for the username (such as Jane Smith is jsmith) and the word password is the password. Then edit your personal information to change your password to your current UMKC/other login (to make it easier to remember). - Once you've logged in you can change your password yourself.
	Below is a copy of a tribute to the passing of Dennis Ritchie (1941-2011), the inventor of the C language and the co-inventor with Ken Thompson of UNIX. Both together are the foundation of most modern computing and products from mp3 players to phones, most web servers, most programs of any kind. Very few people in computing have this much impact. #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("goodbye, dad\n"); return 0; }
