This course began as an "in class" course, but in recent years, it has often been taught partly online. This term will be the first term that it will be entirely online.

For this reason, we need to all be patient with one another. Online connections go down, computers crash, etc.

Each week a homework set and, many weeks, a lab will be due. (Hopefully,) the homeworks will be graded and returned automatically. There is significant web programming in this course.

There will be a final the last week. Project presentations will also be online the last week.

I have ordered no textbook for this course because so much can be found online. If you would like to buy a book, you might consider one of the many Java, Perl or JavaScript books to be found in almost any bookstore. If you know of one that you especially like, post to the group (cs525-e@cs) and tell us about it.

epodd is the journal most related to this course.

You will be receiving cs and cgi-bin accounts. If you will be working from home, you will need an ISP (Internet Service Provider), a browser, and ftp and telnet software.
