Downloading GIMP from PortableApps.com

The download for version 2.6.11 does not work. Instead, you should go to this URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/GIMP%20Portable/ and click the text labeled “GIMP Portable 2.6.10 Rev 2”; then download the link labeled “GIMPPortable_2.6.10_Rev_2.paf.exe”.

Here is a direct link to the download

Sample Files

Download sample files from class.

Text Editors

If you are looking for a substitute for notepad, you may download:

• Notepad2
• Syn
  • Project home page
  • Download page

Notepad2 allows only one file open at a time (just like Notepad) but does allow you to turn on line numbering in the View menu.

Syn is more powerful, and also a bigger download, (about two megabytes) and allows multiple open files.

Other Resources

You don’t need to read all of these the first day. As we get to the topics, you will want to read them. The first item (How to Edit Files) is a good one to start with.

• Web Design Resources NEW!!
• How to Edit Files
• See a list of character entities for HTML and XHTML
• Color Number Table
• Color Viewer
• Color Table (This list is from a language called SVG. The names in the table do not work in style sheets, but the numeric codes do.)
• Colorblind vision simulator (What does your web page look like to people who are colorblind?)
• Using CSS for layout
