==Required Textbooks==
 
There are two required texts for this course:
 
* [http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596517748.do JavaScript: The Good Parts] by Douglas Crockford.
* [http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920024606.do Learning Node] by Shelley Powers.
 
These books have been ordered by the University bookstore.  You may also buy them online in paper or ebook form.  They are also available through [http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780596517748 Safari Books Online].  There is even [https://www.inkling.com/store/book/javascript-good-parts-douglas-crockford-1st/ an interactive version] of Crockford's book which includes an embedded JavaScript interpreter.  You can get access to Safari Books Online through the Carleton Library (four concurrent users only) or partial access by becoming a member of [https://www.computer.org IEEE Computer Society].
 
==Other Resources==
 
===JavaScript===
 
The easiest way to get started with JavaScript and get basic understanding of web technologies is to go through the interactive lessons on [http://codeacademy.com Code Academy].  I suggest you go through their JavaScript, Web Fundamentals, and jQuery tracks.  They shouldn't take you very long to do given that you already know how to program.
 
Crockford also has a lot of online resources on JavaScript, including videos of talks he's given that cover much of the content in his book.  Look at his [http://javascript.crockford.com/ JavaScript page] and this [http://yuiblog.com/crockford/ page of his videos].
 
Another good book is [http://eloquentjavascript.net/ Eloquent JavaScript: A Modern Introduction to Programming] by Marijn Haverbeke.  A version of this book is available online for free.  The for-sale version is apparently updated and edited.
 
The standard reference for JavaScript is [http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596805531.do JavaScript: The Definitive Guide] by David Flanagan.  It is a big book, but it is comprehensive.
 
 
===Node===
 
A quick way to get started with node.js is [http://www.nodebeginner.org/ The Node Beginner Book] by Manuel Kiessling.

==Tutorials/Weekly Tasks==
 
Each week you will get a progress grade from 0-4, given to you by a TA.  If you are being diligent, you should be able to get 4's every week.  The easiest way to get your grade is to come to tutorial and meet with your TA; alternately, you can meet a TA in their office hours or, at their discretion, discuss things with them online.
 
Below is a schedule with the tasks you need to accomplish each week for everyone.  Note you need to accomplish the task before your next tutorial.  So, if you attend the Monday tutorials, you need to show progress before the following Monday.
 
After February 1st, all milestones are between you and your TA and will follow those outline in your proposal.  Milestone deliverables and precise due dates may be revised at the discretion of your TA.

Administration

The course outline for this course is TBD.

Course discussions will be on cuLearn.

You should get an account on this wiki so you can add to it. Email Prof. Somayaji to get one with your preferred username and email address to which a password should be sent. (Note this is not a requirement.)

Required Textbooks

There are two required texts for this course:

These books have been ordered by the University bookstore. You may also buy them online in paper or ebook form. They are also available through Safari Books Online. There is even an interactive version of Crockford's book which includes an embedded JavaScript interpreter. You can get access to Safari Books Online through the Carleton Library (four concurrent users only) or partial access by becoming a member of IEEE Computer Society.

Other Resources

JavaScript

The easiest way to get started with JavaScript and get basic understanding of web technologies is to go through the interactive lessons on Code Academy. I suggest you go through their JavaScript, Web Fundamentals, and jQuery tracks. They shouldn't take you very long to do given that you already know how to program.

Crockford also has a lot of online resources on JavaScript, including videos of talks he's given that cover much of the content in his book. Look at his JavaScript page and this page of his videos.

Another good book is Eloquent JavaScript: A Modern Introduction to Programming by Marijn Haverbeke. A version of this book is available online for free. The for-sale version is apparently updated and edited.

The standard reference for JavaScript is JavaScript: The Definitive Guide by David Flanagan. It is a big book, but it is comprehensive.


Node

A quick way to get started with node.js is The Node Beginner Book by Manuel Kiessling.
