An introduction to the World Wide Web as an educational tool using the American Revolution as an example : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

The goal of this project was to gain a better understanding of an Internet tool, the World Wide Web, while creating a useful and educational resource that could be referenced as an example for beginning developers. The focus of my project was the development of a multi-media reference of the American Revolution using an object-oriented design that can be easily updated. This document contains background information on the Internet and World Wide Web, an explanation of object oriented design, on which the structure of the project is based, and the textual historical descriptions, which act as anchors for the multi-media.
