About this site

I just noticed that I forgot to update this page in preparation for the Spring 2021 semester... Here we are, eight weeks in, and I just noticed.

So we're still stuck with remote learning. But it seems to me that we're acclimating to it fairly well. It's still not ideal, but we're coping.

This semester has featured some new material, which I think is relevant to our pursuit of knowledge of Front-End Web Development. I'm particularly excited with the material on CSS3 Transforms and Animations. Honestly, I whipped up that material pretty quickly, but it is good stuff to know

Another new feature on the site is the Bug Report page. So, you can now report problems with the site directly to me in exchange for a little extra credit. Some of y'all have already taken advantage of this opportunity :)

I'm also excited to see that this class is being offered both this summer and next fall... So be sure to tell all your friends!

This site is hosted on a DigitalOcean server running Ubuntu Linux version 20.04 (Focal Fossa) with the LAMP (Linux Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack. The CSS framework used for development is Bootstrap. The custom CSS for the site was compiled using Sass. There's no required text for the class, but W3Schools is an excellent resource that we'll make use of extensively
