WELCOME

Welcome to Client-Side Programming with JavaScript. I am pleased you are joining us for this class. I want to take this opportunity to welcome you and to give you an overview of what to expect and what you need to do next. I am looking forward to this quarter with you.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Fundamentals of client-side programming for Web pages requiring data collection or other user interaction. Students will create Web pages that execute on the client machine using JavaScript.

GENERAL PURPOSE

Upon completion, students will be able to:

Create and revise Web pages requiring programming support.
Write client-side applications to support Web pages.
Implement Web pages and JavaScript programs on a browser.

REQUIREMENTS

Access to a computer with an Internet connection
E-mail address
You must have access to a current Mozilla based browser such as Mozilla or Firefox, as well as access to Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater and/or Safari for the Macintosh for cross brower testing.
Bring a USB jump drive to save your work and to carry work from school to home. Alternately you can use FTP to transfer data from the school Linux server (voyager).

ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION

You are encouraged to contribute to the class discussion . For planning purposes, it is best to log on every day when possible, to avoid creating a backlog of material that can very quickly become overwhelming.

Expect to spend 8-10 hours per week reviewing online information, reading the textbook and working on assignments. Successful students will spend several additional hours each week working on their assignments for this course.

You may use the computers in the lab at De Anza College Room AT203. However, it is strongly recommmended that you have internet access and complete your assignments off-campus.

The end of the 7th week is the deadline for withdrawal with a "W". Please refer to the Schedule of Classes for the exact date. It is your responsibility to withdraw if desired; otherwise, the earned grade will be assigned for the quarter. See De Anza Academic and Administrative Calendar for the deadlines.

SCHOLARLY CONDUCT

With the understanding of the principles discussed in Working Together above, you are expected to do your own work. The De Anza College Schedule, in the section titled "Academic Integrity," states that "The submission of work which is not the product of a student's personal effort, or work which in some way circumvents the given rules and regulations will not be tolerated." An infraction of Academic Integrity may result in a failing grade.

LAB ASSIGNMENTS

Lab assignments will be graded online. When you complete an assignment, you must send me an E-mail notification that the assignment is complete. Otherwise I don't know. Your grade on the assignment will be returned electronically.

LATE WORK

Late work will be assigned a 10% per day penalty. Work submitted over two weeks late will earn a maximum of 10%.

TESTS

There will be a mid-term exam, and a final exam.
