Software
Please download and install the following pieces of software:
Google Chrome – While there are a variety of great browsers out there we will be using Google Chrome in the classroom for two reasons. First, it runs on both Windows machines and Macs. Second, it has a great set of “developer’s tools” that you will need during the programming part of the course.
Notepad++ (Windows users only) or BBEdit (Mac users only) – Notepad++ and BBEdit are text editors that we will use when writing JavaScript during the programming part of the course. Notepad++ is free. BBEdit, for what we want to do with it, will also be free. Please download the free trial of BBEdit. At the end of the free trial, BBEdit will still run but some of the fancy, high-end features will no longer work but we won’t be using any of the fancy, high-end features so BBEdit will be fine for the Mac users.
Max Lab
The fee associated with the MaxLab assignments is $19.99. You will be required to pay the fee as you start the first Lab. DO NOT skip ahead and pay for the Max Lab. Listen carefully in-class to your instructor for additional details.
