CSC 111 - Lessons & Examples

Here are some samples and lessons on important concepts about web design highlighting JavaScript and other basic concepts. Some of the examples are relatively simple and are better viewed and studied because they need little explanation.

Use the "View Source" on your browser or save them to your hard drive for future reference. Others have more explanation as may be necessary.

Each lesson provides at least one example designed to show a concept or idea. Don't miss the point because of its implicit simplicity. Others have complete explanations as well as examples.

I explained the concepts where important. Some of the more straight foreword concepts are more "cut and paste", others are more complete. You must lean at your own pace.

These lessons are in no particular order so you may work on each individually depending on your needs and your interest.
