LIS5364 - Web Development and Administration
Welcome to the course! Many of you are coming from the related course LIS5362 (and perhaps even LIS5367 ) so this may be a "welcome back!" Neither are official prerequisites, though familiarity with the topics in 5362 may be helpful.
The first front page - in Canvas - is the primary source of material for this course; everything you need for the course will be available here. Many links go through http://jrm4.com (including a mirror of this page for backup and emergency purposes); feel free to browse that as well. Links to all tools and readings will be available from the front page.
The class is synchronous, in Zoom. Link forthcoming.
This class does NOT have a required group work component; but it does have an optional one. Additionally, I believe strongly in inter-student support and collaboration, especially for technical courses such as this one. I have found Discord to be an excellent tool for this, and I do have a (so-called) server for this purpose.
Note: Discord is NOT mandatory.
There will be other requirements, computer-wise. Specifically, eventually you will need access to a Linux computer (possibly virtual) on which you have "root" access. If you are not yet familiar with any of this, no worries - all will be explained in detail.
No textbooks are required, and nothing is due for the first class. Feel free to browse the assignments and readings on the side (or below if you're on your phone) - but unless they are LINKED DIRECTLY FROM THIS FRONT PAGE, they are from the previous semester. This means they are likely to be similar this semester, but may change and should not be relied on as official. If you'd like to browse regardless but you can't see them now, go here and look: - https://jrm4.com/FSU_Courses/LIS5364.html
