What is this course? This course is a snapshot of web tools and techniques current in Autumn 2011.
Is it a comprehensive introduction? No. The area of front-end engineering is extraordinarily fluid and changing daily. No single course can be comprehensive; front-end development requires a life-time commitment.
Will it teach me everything I need to know so I won't unintentionally injure myself while playing with a web page? No. There are lots of places where one might stub a toe, even after taking this course.
What is your pedagogical goal? This course will get you started on web design, architectual protocols, the DOM, scripting with JavaScript, JavaScript libraries and CSS styling, etc. so that you can strike out and master these topics on your own.
What is your pedagogical strategy? I'll provide the general directions and give the students "legos" that they can snap together.
What are your expectations of students? Students need to be self-motivated problem solvers. The technologies that we will study in this course are not hard, but they are tricky. A missing semi-colon can cause cardiac arrest.

- Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity
The essence of academic life revolves around respect not only for the ideas of others, but also their rights to those ideas and their promulgation. It is therefore essential that all of us engaged in the life of the mind take the utmost care that the ideas and expressions of ideas of other people always be appropriately handled, and, where necessary, cited. For writing assignments, when ideas or materials of others are used, they must be cited. The format is not that important–as long as the source material can be located and the citation verified, it’s OK. What is important is that the material be cited. In any situation, if you have a question, please feel free to ask. Such attention to ideas and acknowledgment of their sources is central not only to academic life, but life in general.
Please acquaint yourself with the University of Washington's resources on academic honesty.
