The course covers lots of graphics and animation concepts, such as are useful for PhotoShop and Flash and clipart. It covers HTML and gives further web page experience, databases, and some authoring software. Also covers PowerPoint basics and beyond. We will do some GIMP graphics software and of course, we will make web pages dynamic using PERL/CGI and HTML FORMs.

It also covers the ReportResult() macro code and how you could use the version that has a BOOLEAN argument instead of the zero argument TallyTheResult() macro. WE MAY NOT EVEN LOOK AT THIS BY THE END OF THE 2nd WEEK!!!
