In addition to the class lecture hours, students will need to spend time on a computer connected to the internet to complete the homework assignments. Students should allow 1-3 or more hours of computer lab time for every one hour spent in the classroom. Since the lecture and lab will be intermingled, students should plan to attend both sessions each day. We will be learning something new each day and you won't want to miss any new materials. You must already have a background in some programming language or a background in Graphic Communication to take this course because we will build advanced programs in this class. Programmers should know how to hand code HTML including tables and cascading style sheets. Artists should know how to create web sites using PhotoShop, Illustrator, and Flash
