I was a TA for this class when it was first taught in January of this year. Back then it was an intense course that split it's time between Web Security and Web Programming.

The class has been split, and this is now just a Web Programming class. I helped design project 1 and project 7 (my screenshots are still being used :-)! Highly recommended for those who want a nice intro to modern web programming.

Pretty cool!

It seems to cover a lot of bases, too: a student's HTML must validate, she has to get her feet wet with at least a little bit of JS and Ruby, she'll have to open up Photoshop at least once--a pretty well-rounded picture of a project lifecycle.

It might be neat to add an additional project onto the end on deployment, so students would have to muck around on a command line a little bit, configure Apache, etc.
