The student should expect to become familiar with a variety of software tools as part of this course. The student should also expect that since much of this is either Freeware of Shareware that there maybe some bugs, limitations, or lack of documentation. However, the instructor has made a major effort to find robust interestintg tools that frequently are also recommended by the authors of the texts and knowledgible web weavers. The instructor has created a Web site builder's tutorial that is a Jacob's coat of documents taken from the WWW and his own. The Student is advised to also examine the other recomended tutorials to find one that suits their needs.

The Student is advised that all copyrights and licenses should be read and their directions are to be folllowed. The material should correspond to fair use while in the class as long as the copyrights and other notices and licenses are maintained in tact. All use of material taken from the web and used within any assignment should be acknowledged.
