Welcome to IST 263
Intro. to Front-end Web Development
Schedule Overview
Update 03/14/2020: Schedule information for weeks 10 & 11 is updated to reflect our class decision to use the first week after spring break for remote instruction and move the previously planned open lab time to week 11 in the hope that we will be back together in the classroom after March 30. That date may well change, and we'll have to monitor updates from SU Administration and communicate about how to accommodate the lab time remotely, if that need becomes apparent.
Update 03/23/2020: Here are a few links to access resources for IST263 during the remainder of the spring 2020 semester:
- Blackboard Discussion Board for remote and asynchronous problem-solving, question & answer engagement, and topical discussion.
- Zoom.us instructional video tutorials for guidance about how that tool works.
- More to come, as needed...
