note: this is for your own computer as you will probably not be able to do the following in the Hunter lab.

One last optional alteration of jEdit for mac users.
Those who use the keyboard a bit will notice that the option key doesn’t work properly in jEdit. To get the option key working do the following:

Open the file startup.bsh in your /Applications/jEdit 4.2/startup/ folder.

Uncomment line 87 by changing the line from this:
//Debug.ALT_KEY_PRESSED_DISABLED = false;
To this:
Debug.ALT_KEY_PRESSED_DISABLED = false;

Now pressing Option + LeftArrow or Option + RightArrow will allow you to move in between words on a line quickly.

Mac OSX users

1. Download jedit
2. Drag the jEdit 4.2 app into your applications folder.
3. Watch the video named “install jedit config osx movie” under class downloads on this blog.(ctrl click and pick save link as)

Windows Users

I have also included movie versions of the process under Class Downloads (install jedit on Windows 1 & 2). You will need Apple Quicktime to view if you don’t have that installed.

Step 1

Check to see if you have Java installed on your Windows computer.
1)Go to the start window
2)Click Run
3)enter “cmd” without the quotes into the window.
This should open up the terminal.
in the terminal enter the following commands:
4)java -version
If the computer can’t find java you need to install java on your computer. Otherwise Move to Step 3

Step 2

7)In the new.jedit folder you just downloaded there are two folders one called __MACOSX and another called new.jedit drag this folder to you user folder C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME

You need to change the name of the new.jedit folder in C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME to .jedit to do this you need to use the terminal again.
8)Open the terminal and enter in the following commands:
rename new.jedit .jedit
9)You’re done!!!!!!!

Let’s say we want to organize a list of books and we want to put those books under a particular genre. For instance:
Web Programming: Head First HTML, PHP In A Nutshell, Ajax Design Patterns
Philosophy: Arcades, Negative Dialectics, Phenomenology of the Spirit
Art History & Theory: Art Since 1900, First Person
I might make a top level list that contains the categories and then have a sub list for each category that contains appropriate titles.

<h1>My Books</h1>
<ul>
  <li><h2>Web Programming</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>Head First HTML</li>
      <li>PHP In A Nutshell</li>
      <li>Ajax Design Patterns</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><h2>Philosophy</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>Arcades</li>
      <li>Negative Dialectics</li>
      <li>Phenomenology of the Spirit</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><h2>Art History &amp; Theory</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>Art Since 1900</li>
      <li>First Person</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

The former code would display something like this:

My Books

• Web Programming

  • Head First HTML
  • PHP In A Nutshell
  • Ajax Design Patterns

• Philosophy

  • Arcades
  • Negative Dialectics
  • Phenomenology of the Spirit

• Art History & Theory

  • Art Since 1900
  • First Person

Everyone should email me at webproduction1@gmail.com with their name somewhere in the email. I need your emails so that I can send everyone info regarding the class. Do this ASAP. Thanks.

I’m going to put up a “how to” get jedit running on mac osx in a few hours.
I’ll try in get one up for Windows users later today or tomorrow.

The assignment that is listed on the syllabus as being due next week is due the following week(I will go over the assignment next class). Instead, just read up to Chapter 5 in the Head First Book (and do some of the exercises!)

Best,
Joe
