To Members and Friends of DC SIGAda:

Next Meeting:

     Our Next Meeting is scheduled for 12 October 2000 as a Joint Meeting
of the Baltimore and DC SIGAda Chapters. Clyde Roby, of IDA, will be
speaking on Introduction to Web Technologies for Effective Dissemination
of Information - Part III. The presentation will start at 7:30 P.M.

     (Refreshments and Social at 7:00 P.M.) at the Lockheed Martin
Corporation in Rockville, Maryland. Snacks and soft drinks will be
served at 7:00 PM, the general meeting will start at 7:30 PM, followed
by the program.

Abstract: Introduction to Web Technologies for Effective Dissemination of
Information - Part III

     This presentation is based on the tutorial given at SIGAda'98 and
SIGAda'99 by Currie Colket, Brad Balfour, Clyde Roby, and John McCormick
and augmented by David Wheeler on the Ada95 binding to the CGI.

     Introduction to Web Technologies for Effective Dissemination of
Information is broken down into 3 parts:

Part I:   Introduction to HTML and XML.
Part II:  Ada Binding to the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) to Process
          HTML Forms.
Part III: Effective Design Strategies Appropriate to Disseminating
          Information and Tools to Manage Development of Web Pages.

Part I was presented on 9 December 1999; Part II was presented on
Thursday 10 February. Part III will be presented on Thursday, 12 October.
Part III is consists of:

1.Effective Design Strategies Appropriate to Disseminating
Information with the main goal to help understand the many ways that the
WWW can be used to communicate information. It has a secondary goal to
help new designers effectively choose appropriate techniques from among
the many that the web provides. Effective ways to organize various types
of information are included. This section provides things to think about
in designing a web site based on almost a decade of experience on
managing web sites.

2.Tools to Manage Development of Web Pages addresses tools that
are effective in developing, organizing, and updating the Web Site. It
also includes tools useful for analyzing the correctness of the web site
and fixing problem areas. Basically this section covers tools to do the Job.

Each Part is independent, i.e., Part III will be valuable to a
listener even without having attended Parts I and II.
