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.

Possible topics

Your technical plan for the coming trimester should include the topics you would most like to cover (web-related or not), for instance consider the following list of possibilities:

Form Basics + GET / POST
Generating an HTML page with Python
CGI
Connecting to a database in Python
MySQL/Database Basics
Vector Graphics / SVG (+ scripting!?)
PHP
(Ab-)Usability
the <video> and <audio> tags of HTML5
text browsers
Frames
Remixing RSS Feeds
Generating RSS Feeds
Drag and drop
Alternatives to Scrolling
The blurring line between application and web
Javascript
JQuery / Prototype
Online Typography
Regular Expressions
