2736.1 The Internet Classroom (AM)
10 units	MWF, 8:30-12:00	Cynthia Nie & Trevor Ridinger	$790
In this class, students will learn how to understand, navigate and engage the internet with ease; design and create standards-based websites; and acquire a meaningful context within which to place our "information age," with its diverse array of online communities. Students will create websites using XHTML and CSS, with an eye towards coding according to web standards. They will be introduced to various common technologies that make up today's internet (JavaScript, XML, etc.) and will be experimenting with off-the-shelf programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Flash. Additionally, this class will have an online component, its students engaging beyond the scheduled lab time with their instructors, their classmates, and other ATDP students. Furthermore, students will investigate technical, sociological, and even philosophical issues on the impact of the internet and information technology on students and their families, on schools and their communities, and on society at large. Homework per class meeting: 4-7 hours

2737 The Virtual ATDP:
Creating an Online Academic Community
10 units By arrangement Lloyd Nebres $0
Prerequisites: (1) Demonstrable working knowledge of website design and construction--XHTML/CSS skills, familiarity with web standards; (2) current maintenance of a weblog or online journal; (3) prior participation in online communities and forums. Prospective participants should e-mail Lloyd Nebres for an online interview prior to applying.
The Virtual ATDP (TVA) is the online component for ATDP, existing not just during ATDP's summer session but also through the regular school year. This online community involves ATDP students, TAs, instructors, mentors, staff and alumni. Participants during the summer will be designated as internet TAs (iTA) for an ATDP course and will work closely with the TVA project manager and with the course instructor. For that course, the iTA will: (a) create and maintain the class website; (b) set up and moderate a group discussion forum or bulletin board; and (c) facilitate the class' online community via instant messaging. For examples of websites, weblogs, and forums from the previous summer, visit The Virtual ATDP.

2738 Building Next-Generation Web Applications
5 units TF, 1:00-4:30 Raymond Yee $530
Prerequisites: Experience using web applications, writing HTML, and ideally some programming background (e.g., the Advanced Internet Classroom or equivalent). The most important requirement is the willingness to tackle and synthesize many new concepts in a short time.
By creating a mashup-oriented project--an application that re-combines information from a variety of source--students will learn how to build interactive websites that use cutting edge technologies such as XML, XML web services, and AJAX. Students will be supported in developing their vision throughout the project lifecycle, from brainstorming ideas and proposing a doable project to implementing their design and then presenting their work to their peers and the entire ATDP community--all in six weeks! Teamwork is highly encouraged.
