Lecture Assignment 14

Due at the start of class, Monday, November 1.

Please submit answers to these questions in Blackboard by the start of class. We will discuss these questions at the start of class, so no late submissions are accepted. Read Chapter 6 in Technology in Action, Introductory 7th Edition.

1. We mentioned two places where the ideas of caches come up: cache memory to hold recently-used segments of main memory (a computer-based example), and the analogy of books that might be in your hand, on your desk, in your office, in a local library, or in a remote library or storage area. Describe another situation, either in computing or not, where the idea of caches are used.
2. (Nothing to submit in BB for this part.)

   Augment your web page (your index.html from the previous assignment) to include the following:

   • A photo of yourself.
   • An expanded section about yourself including some text formatting (such as bold (<b>...</b>), italics (<i>...</i>), or centered (<center>...</center>)) and one bulleted list.
   • At least one hyperlink.

   Note that you will need to transfer a file containing a picture of yourself to the web server and place it in your public_html folder there. If you do not have a photo handy, you can get yours taken in class and sent to you.
