  If you bought the second edition, you can review this chapter-by-chapter comparison because the chapters are in a slightly different order and chapter 16 is completely different. It's linked on the course calendar when assigned.
  
  To make sure you don't miss anything. If you are late buying your copy, the first chapter is linked on the course calendar when assigned.
  
  
• Title: JavaScript Phrasebook
  Author: Christian Wenz
  Publisher:Sam's Publishing
  ISBN: 978-0-672-32880-0

We will also be using clickers throughout this course

• RFR Card "clicker" (Type RCRF-01)
  Manufacturer: Turning Point
  ISBN: 9780495121336

  Clickers are available at the Bookstore. Bring them to lecture every day for answering questions. You will be able to sell them back at the end of the quarter. They also carry a warranty. If anything goes wrong, take them back to the bookstore.
  
  If you already have this Turning Point clicker from before or for another class, you don't need to buy another one. You can use the same clicker for more than one class. If you have a friend who has one, you can borrow theirs unless you are both enrolled in this class, then you will need two clickers. If you borrow a clicker from a friend, be sure to use it all quarter. If you lose your clicker, please let us know the new serial number.

Throughout the course, additional online materials will be identified. These materials will assist with learning HTML, databases, and JavaScript. In particular, the tutorials at W3 Schools are extremely helpful.

Schedule of Readings

See the Calendar and Weekly Schedules for the required readings for each Week.  Additional readings may be added during the course of the quarter, and these will be announced to the entire class by the instructor.
