These files contain the content for a class project. The project is to create a web site for a fictitous event named Careers in the Creative Arts. The event will take place at the Borough of Manhattan Community College.
While the event is not real, the speakers are and so is the college.
Each folder contains the content for a page. There are two files in each folder. One has the content and ends in -content.txt and the other has some instructions for the page and ends in instructions.md. For the Speakers page there is also a folder with images of the speakers.
Make sure to read through the instructions.
None of the content is marked up with HTML. It will be up to you to convert the files to HTML and then add your CSS.
The content files are just the text for the site. The folders roughly represent the pages on the site. Do not recreate the folder structure in this repository when you are creating your site. Instead start with making a page for each folder like:
- Home
- Schedule
- Sessions
- Speakers
- About
- Videos
You are going to be able to modify this a bit if you like but the overall content will need to remain.
##Creating Your Repository
Because the folder structure of this repository won't be the same as for your project I suggest NOT forking this but instead using the content to make a repository of your own. The following is the method I will demonstrate in class:
- Keep this repository open in a window.
- Create a new (empty) repository on GitHub.com.
- Use an existing or create a new boilerplate HTML5 file. We will cover this in class.
- Use the boilerplate file to create an html file in the main folder for each of the pages:
- index.html
- about.html
- schedule.html
- sessions.html
- speakers.html
- videos.html
You can have different names if you like but keep index.html for the home. 4. Then copy and paste the content from the appropriate -content.txt files into these new blank files. 5. Add your markup to the content. 6. Copy the image files from the Speakers > Images folder to your site's images folder. 7. Add blank folders for css, sass (we will get to that later), images, and js.
Your project should now have a typical web structure with a main folder and then folders for css, images, js etc.
