Guest Expert
Howard
Strauss, Manager of Advanced Applications at Princeton University,
is as close as anyone on the globe to the pulse of what's happening
now on the World Wide Web as it relates to higher education—managing
our institutions, enhancing learning, publishing documents and data,
and what it takes to make all that happen.
If you're an IT professional in higher education, the odds are pretty good that you've taken a workshop from him or attended one of his presentations at many, many conferences and meetings. Strauss is featured on CREN's Virtual Seminar CD Untangling the Web.
By accessing this week's "TechTalk" session with your computer Thursday afternoon, you can listen to him address and answer your questions about such issues as:
- publishing without knowledge of HTML;
- how to create and maintain a good Web publishing environment on your campus; li>what are the two or three best hints you can share with users about effective Web searching;
- what are the current options for building forms and surveys; and
- what you can expect from XML—the eXtensible Markup Language.
References
Howard recommends these two books as currently valuable reference tools: The XML Handbook by Goldfarb and HTML: The Definitive Guide by Musciani et al. And you can enjoy two of his html slide shows: Finding Things On the Web and Introduction to XML—eXtensible Markup Language.
