Lesson 03


 

Your assignment today will be to use a table to arrange the two text snippets below with one or more images in a meaningful and visually appealing manner.


 

Hint: for best results with your table, follow the procedure outlined in this lesson. Take pencil to paper and sketch your table before you try building it. Having a drawing to work from makes everything else much, much easier.


 

Please note that there are no right or wrong answers to this assignment. Your goal here should be simply to stretch your creative wings. All I want you to do is take what you've learned in the last three lessons and create an organized and aesthetically pleasing way to present the information provided below.


 

If you have access to a Web server and would like to share what you've done with your classmates, I encourage you to use the lesson 3 discussion area to share the Web address of any tables you build.


 

 

Text Snippet 1 - This must appear somewhere in your table.


 

 

SyncData Corporation was founded in 1976 through proceeds earned from the sale of a calculator and volkswagen bus. We started building our systems in a garage, using parts we pilfered from our employer. In 1977, our innovative hardware and software captured the eye of a CEO for a big calculator company, and he offered to buy our fledgling company outright. We turned him down, and have been struggling ever since.


 

Today, SyncData is a supplier of digital communications products and technologies. We develop, manufacture, market, license and operate communications systems for a wide range of markets and applications. We now employ almost 7 people in our Needles, California headquarters and other offices around the world.


 

 

Text Snippet 2 - This must also appear somewhere in your table. The text does not necessarily need to be formatted exactly as you see it here.


 

 

SyncData
123 Main Street
Needles, CA 90000-0001
1.619.555.1212


 

 

Images - Please choose at least one of these images to use in or around your table. You may use more than one image or even substitute your own images, if you prefer.

If you have any difficulties viewing your table, don't panic. If a table breaks, the problem will almost invariably have been caused by a missing <td>, </td>, <tr>, or </tr> tag. If you make sure all of your <td> tags are paired up with </td> tags and all of your <tr> tags match up with a corresponding </tr> tag, you'll be fine. But if you have a problem you can't seem to resolve, please don't hesitate to post a note in the lesson 3 discussion area.
