Week 2, Day 1: Monday, July 18, 2022
Synopsis
Planning for deployment. In week two, participants prepare the laboratory edition for publication, exposing the functionalities of querying, filtering, analyzing, and transforming textual data. In session one, we take stock of the progress of our collaborative edition and the work plan for completion. In session two we survey publication options like TEI Publisher and CETEIcean with comparative reference to GitHub Pages and the laboratory edition eXist-db implementation. In the afternoon, we learn HTML and CSS fundamentals to support view development in the following days. The special topic session will be a presentation on user experience and design by guest lecturer Shea Higgins.
