Caveat Emptor
As an "advanced" course you will be expected to bring a
basic knowledge of HTML and Flash animation.
If you do not feel comfortable with these domains read
widely in the HTML Resources provided.
For Flash, do the tutorials and read some of the
resources that can be found in last semesters' website.

Let a student enter the school with this advice:
No matter how good the school is,
her education is in her own hands.
All education must be self-education. ...
There is no school that will exactly fit you.
There is no advice made just for you case.
The air is full of advice.
Every school is waiting,
whether it is willing or not,
for you to make it your school.
--Robert Henri, The Art Spirit, 1923
