Well, all of the schedule confusion aside it was nice to see everyone again. Remember that you have to go to all of your classes at least once over the two days. Those of you who did not attend ITGS today will need to be there on Tuesday as we will be getting to work. Hopefully it will all get sorted out this week.
In the meantime, we are starting with Chapter 9. In preparation for this you should go ahead and get started on the review questions 2 - 12. These will be due on Monday the 8th. Many things in this chapter will seem familiar to you because of your general experience with the Internet. Some of the technologies will also be repeated from Ch 8. The Internet is a big topic that always appears on the exams. We will go through the technical aspects, but we will be spending more time on the issues and analysis.
In addition to the homework questions I also want you to check out this article at either Digg or the New York Times. Digg could be helpful for the comments. You can print a copy for class if you like because we will be going through it first to set up many of the topics that come in the chapter. Give it the usual analysis identifying tools and technologies as well as issues and their impacts.
If you missed class come and see me if you have any questions.
