Most of the readings for this course will be available online, but there is
one required text. Web Design in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition should be
available at Student Stores. It is useful not only for the topics we will be
covering in class, but also as a reference tool for future thinking about web
applications.
Our popular reference, Web Design in a Nutshell, has been
completely rewritten and expanded to reflect the state of the art in web
standards. In addition to being an authoritative reference for (X)HTML and
Cascading Style Sheets, this book also provides an overview of the unique
requirements of designing for the Web and gets to the nitty gritty of JavaScript
and DOM Scripting, web graphics optimization, and multimedia production. It is
an indispensable tool for web designers and developers of all levels.
Session notes will include links to a variety of additional resources, to more fully explain or expand on topics discussed in the notes. Some of the linked sources may include:
Pay attention to the schedule. Session notes will be posted prior to each class and you would do well to look over the links prior to coming to class. If there is a topic that you should read prior to class, it will be included on the session notes for the session prior to the class you will be preparing for.
