IT 111 Week 8 Podcast - Spring 2009


This week's podcast has several announcements and an introduction to Chapter 8, XHTML Tables. The video has some tips on the Chapter 8 assignment.

One important announcement is that I've changed the deadline for the Final Project Part 3 Assignment to Sunday, June 7 by 11:59pm. You can submit this assignment sooner if you want to but I decided it might be a good idea to give you a bit more time to complete it.

It 111 Week 5 Podcast - Spring 2009


This short YouTube video (5:36 minutes) has some tips for doing well on the Chapter 5 Assignment. The podcast includes a few more tips and some announcements, too. I'm also recommending a book on web design and usability called Don't Make Me Think! 2nd edition by Steve Krug. The NSCC Library has two copies of it if you want to borrow it instead of buy it.
