Comments about this course...

Another blast from the past for me (previously used JavaScript on the job by way of OJT). Of course, many years later, and a slew of changes, I had my work cut out for me. At the end of the class, I had my eyes opened wide by a preview of jQuery--blew my mind...! Grade: 4.0

All sample documents are in PDF format; web pages are, well, web pages.
