Chapter Exercises

The text for this course contains tutorial-style chapters that lead you through the process of designing and developing interactive Web pages. We will work through exercises from these chapters in class, although you may find that you need additional time outside of class to complete all of the assigned exercises. You must complete all of the assigned exercises by the appropriate date (listed below) and turn in a printed copy of the HTML/Javascript source code at the beginning of class. Note: chapter exercises are graded on a rough scale, with the following marks corresponding to number grades:
