Since I received such positive feedback from the JavaScript final exam I posted a few days ago (http://geekyclown.com/?p=224), here is another purged final exam from 2001. This was for my CS 105 - Introduction to the Internet. This test was really fun to read over again as so many things have changed since 2001. However, feel free to give it a crack. If some of the technologies, etc. are outdated, remember - - - it is from 2001!
To view the answers, click here (NOTE: I included the short answer questions but do not have the answers in the key, it was easier to grade just by reading it instead of comparing it with the key.)
