schedule

The following schedule is tentative. “Reading” is to be completed before the start of class; any “supplement” reading won’t even be mentioned in lecture, but can be helpful for alternate presentation of the material, and/or for the homeworks. Chapters refer to Ullman’s PHP for the Web, unless indicated otherwise. Recall that the books are accessible on-line via McConnell Libray’s “Safari” catalog.

Much of the notes are discussed in the youtube playlist, but those videos are intended to be watched while also looking at the notes and the accompanying source-code. I recommend working along with the videos, pausing as you do so. If you prefer only reading the notes, that also should suffice for the pre-quizzes.
