“This course is part of a pilot program that will be using Brightspace, UVM's new learning platform that's replacing Blackboard. Since only a limited number of courses will be piloting Brightspace this coming semester, you are still likely to have courses in Blackboard as well. For more information on Brightspace: go.uvm.edu/brightspace-pilot” This course is designed for a six week summer session course. The course covers JavaScript and Jquery following the book chapter for chapter. This course is designed for self study, independent learning which allows flexibility to complete the assignment early so as to accommodate everyone's busy summer schedule. You should have a strong foundation in HTML, CSS as covered in CS 008 we will be using the cs 008 zybook text covering the JavaScript chapters that we have not covered. alternatively you can use any text of choice, for example: https://www.wiley.com/en-us/JavaScript+and+JQuery%3A+Interactive+Front+End+Web+Development-p-9781118531648 JavaScript and JQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development Jon Duckett ISBN: 978-1-118-53164-8 Jun 2014 640 pages

You can expect to work on the computer several hours each day (the actual amount of time will vary from person to person) I would plan on about 4 hours a day and see how you do. You may spend less or you may spend more depending on your comfort level. We read about 2 chapters each week. You may read ahead and finish the course early. Some folks finished the book material in a week, then spent the rest of the time on their final project.

You are graded only on two items, a final exam (based on the book) and your final project.
