Mailing List

We will use google groups for discussion:

You must subscribe to the course discussion forum on google groups. Do it as soon as possible.

http://groups.google.com/group/csc436fall2016

The discussion forum is an extension our time in class. This is particularly great for students that miss the live lecture. If you are watching the class online, you should write down any questions that arise, including the time from the recording for reference. Then send the list of questions to me, and I will post a reply to the group.

I will also use Teamviewer for communication. With teamviewer, you can show me your computer screen while we talk over the phone.

Textbooks

We will use a lot of web resources.

There will be only one required text, ng-book 2, but we won't use it the first week.

Expectations

This is an advanced class expecting you to be a partner more than a student. You really do need to be self motivated. But that should be easy: the stuff we are doing is interesting, fun and will get you a job.

See this class as an opportunity for you to create great resume material and build something you love.

If you put in effort, you will get a lot out of this class. If you don't, you won't.
