(I.e., introductory programming) • Comfortable using Windows • Comfortable writing small programs • Enjoy figuring out how things work BIT 116: Scripting

5. Why JavaScript? • Relatively fast to learn; lightweight code • Simple, useful ways to apply in everyday webpages: form validation, menus [example] • More complicated applications: everything from graphing to webmail [example] • Even more complex client/server apps (AJAX) BIT 116: Scripting

6. You’ll learn by doing Practice, practice, practice! Make sure that whatever we cover in class, you can do from memory by the next class 10-ish hours outside of class, per week, on average Work up to solving medium-sized problems Understanding is the key!! Objective: Learn JavaScript Programming! BIT 116: Scripting

7.

11. Today Next Lecture • Basic CSS • Basic JavaScript • Go over syllabus • Quick Intro to HTML BIT 116: Scripting

12. Behavior Rules • Quiet while I’m lecturing • Whisper, if you talk at all • Minimize typing • If you want to type, sit towards the back of the room • If you have trouble hearing me, sit towards the front • Raise you hand & wait to be called on if you have something to say • Work during ICE time • If you finish a section, try the next one • If you finish everything, chose a project on your own BIT 116: Scripting

13. No Cheating! • If you cheat: • First offense: everyone involved will get a 20% penalty • Second offense: everyone involved gets 0 for that assignment • Third offense: You’ll be given a choice of Withdrawing from the course (if you still can), or else you’ll get a zero for the term. Period. • If you cheat on assignments and I don’t catch you, you’ll do badly on the exams (midterm & final) • Exams are ~30% of your grade – if you get flogged on these, you’ll do badly overall BIT 115: Introduction To Programming

14. Save A Copy Of All Work!! • In-class work, EXAMS, Quizzes, etc,etc • If you work with someone, make sure each of you gets a copy • For in-class work, you don’t have to hand it in • (I’ll be checking it as I walk around & watch you work) • If you lose track of it, and I mis-record it, then whatever I’ve got will stand as a grade BIT 116: Scripting

15. Make-Up Policy • If you notify the instructor at least one week prior to an exam, it may be possible to take the exam at a different time than the scheduled date. • No make-ups will be given for exams, presentations, or other such graded events, that were missed without prior notification to the instructor. • In any case, the notification of absence must be given at least 2 days before the exam/quiz/event. • Any disagreements about your grade should be brought to my attention immediately.
