Try to stay ahead of the schedule; don't just keep up with it. Contact me immediately if you cannot meet a deadline.

The readings used in this course are compiled from other popular texts related to the content of this course. Beware that we will be jumping amongst chapters in the texts and will not follow numeric sequence in the book. Chapters from [the book about HTML] will be identified below preceded by "HTML:". Chapters from the Virtual JavaScript Textbook (online readings about Dynamic HTML with JavaScript) will be identified below preceded by "JS:". We will not cover all chapters from the HTML book, although all are valuable reading. The Appendices in the book are extensive and extremely useful reference material. When listed as a reading assignment below, you are expected to browse through the appendix, but not to study it in detail. Exercises and review questions within the readings are useful, but will not be submitted for grading in this class.

Reading involving either the textbook (including the Virtual JavaScript Textbook) or related online example pages should be completed before attempting any project or assessment. Exercises and review questions within the textbook are useful, but will not be submitted for grading in this class.
