Tips and Advice for Course Projects

• A USB flash drive is highly recommended. Any drive that can hold more than a couple of gigabytes (GB) should be more than adequate.
• Installation of 7-zip is recommended for Windows computers.
• Always keep a backup of your web application projects. For example, a copy on your computer and your flash drive should be good. You can also email yourself a zipped copy of your web application.
• You will always have more than a week to complete an assignment, especially for the initial weekly assignments. You are strongly encouraged to complete as much of the assignment as possible before the next class. This way you will have an opportunity to ask questions.
• Submit assignments early even if you have plans to do more work on them. You can always resubmit a better version if time permits.
• Take an incremental approach. Get something simple to work first. Then, slowly add more functionality to it. Test your application with each version.
