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.

Fwiw, here is the scratch-file I sometimes write to, in our zoom-lectures.

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.
