The Web: From 1.0 to 2.0 and back again
This trimester will be focused on the Internet / Web. We will cover fundamentals concepts of the web (Hypertext, HTML, HTTP, CSS), while making connections to scripting, using Python when possible, and other scripting languages (such as JavaScript) when appropriate.
Meetings:

- Shiretoko! <video> and <audio> tags, finally
- Accessibility / Multiplicity: Screen Readers & Mobile phones -- programming for minimal / alternative browsing
- To scroll or not to scroll
- Frames
- Headline scrambler revisited
- Feed Collages
- Offline: The future of webapps?
