Readings
Textbooks
The bulk of our technical readings will come from the following two books:
- HTML, XHTML, and CSS: Visual Quickstart Guide (6th Edition, ISBN: 0321430840), by Elizabeth Castro
- Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability (2nd Edition, ISBN: 0321344758), by Steve Krug.
On the calendar, reading assignments in these books are listed as “Castro” and “Krug.”
Supplementary Readings
In addition to the course textbooks, you will be reading a number of articles about Web site design on the Web itself, in Portable Document Format (PDF), and in PowerPoint format.
To view PDF documents, you must download them to a computer on which the Adobe Acrobat Reader has been installed. If you do not have the Acrobat Reader, you can download one from the Adobe site. Once you download PDF documents, you can then either read them on screen or print them like you would any other computer file.
