COSC1229/1479
Introduction to Computational Science

The aims of the laboratory are:

• To introduce the graphics lab and its environment.
• To show students how to use ssh and the web proxy for the Sutherland laboratory.
• To have students setup their COSC1229/1479 course web page.

The exercises are:

1. Attempt to login. Only students have formally enrolled and have been entered into the AMS will have accounts. If you cant login then you need to pair up with someone who can.
2. Find and launch mozilla. Set the http proxy to bluetongue.cs.rmit.edu.au using port 8080.
3. Use ssh to login to yallara.
4. Create a directory yallara:~/.HTMLinfo/ComputationalScience/ or as appropriate. Create a file index.xhtml. Use chmod a+rX to change permisions appropriately. Copy and paste from the source of this laboratory's web page to create a valid xhtml 1.1 web page with just your name in it. Validate your web page against the W3C validator.
5. When your page validates as xhtml add the following markup, which produces a button as at the bottom of this page::

   <p>
     <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer">
          <img src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-xhtml11"
          alt="Valid XHTML 1.1!" height="31" width="88" /></a>
   </p>
   	

6. Make a ComputationalScience directory in your home directory. (~student/ComputationalScience)
7. Download into this dir, the programs: Welcome.java Welcome2.java WelcomeGlyph.java
8. Recompile the java program and run them. Then debug them as they contain simple errors.
9. Make a simple web page and make it work with the applet you just compiled.
