About the School of Informatics Web
This is the School of
Informatics division of CityWeb, providing useful information from
the School of Informatics.
This document describes the layout and design
of our Web documents, and a bit about the
mechanics of how we make these documents available, from HTML
editor to HTTP server.
You may have noticed the various icons placed in various documents all
over our Web hierarchy; a sample set is shown at the head of this
document. These allow quick navigation around the most interesting
portions of our Web, as well as providing some "command"
functions for our Web. The latter functions are:
-
- Information. Usually, this takes you to this page, but some parts of the web may have extra information available here. If you have any problems, click on this.
-
- Comments and Feedback. This provides a fill-in form with which you can tell us what you think of our site. If you spot an error, want to update any information, or just feel like dropping us a line, then select this icon and type away!
You'll find these control buttons on the bottom of almost all
"toplevel" pages, including this one.
Almost all documents
which are available in this Web are either written using our WYSIWYG
HTML editor, or are
generated on-the-fly by a variety of perl scripts, collectively known
as generators.
The School of Informatics section of CityWeb is maintained seperately
to the main City University Web, by our local webmaster. Many other members
of the department also contribute to the information provided; photos,
articles and anything else have been provided by a large number of
people, too numerous to mention.
