  • Make backup copies regularly
  • Have at least two copies:
    • A working copy, which you edit
    • A backup copy in a secure location
  • Better yet, use a source code repository
  • If you cannot turn in your work because you lost or over-wrote your files, then you didn't do the work, and your grade will suffer accordingly

Textbook

The textbook WordPress: The Missing Manual is not strictly required. However, we will make extensive use of it in class, and you should have your own copy unless you feel strongly that you can get along without it.

Options

You may use your own laptop computer, rather than school workstations.

  • You must do equivalent work
  • Note that tech support from school or instructor may be limited or unavailable
