Computer Requirements
This course can be taken on either a PC or a Mac, but we highly recommend using a PC (PC's using Windows will be the most compatible with the advanced code being taught, like java-scripting. Mac users may run into some difficulty, although newer Macs are more compatible than older Macs). Students will need an Internet connection and emailing capabilities.
