Media Computation Skills LAB - MTEC1003 - FALL 2019

Course Description

This course examines a broad array of topics, tools, skills, and best practices that support programming. At its core MTEC1003 asks how the user can gain finer control of their computer. Over a series of lectures and online resources, and through our weekly hands-on lab assignments, students will become familiar with the tools necessary to construct their own websites using basic front-end technologies such as HTML/CSS and JavaScript. Students will also harness the computer's powerful administrative functionality using the Unix command line tools and will learn to organize their workflow intelligently using source code management.
