Requirements

Students are required to have strong foundations on algorithms, databases and software engineering. They are also required to have twitter and github accounts. Please use this form to enter your Twitter and Github handle

Every student is required to complete a series of readings and materials before class. This is not only required but also very important, since in class we will assume they were reviewed, discuss them and cover more advanced topics.

Reading comments

Before every class, students must tweet something they learned from the readings with the hashtag #WebDev and the handle @Uniandes. The comments should be original, shouldn't repeat what was said before, and demonstrate the proficiency of the required reading.

These tweets are going to considered for the class participation grade. Each comment will be rated as follows:

• 2 points: An interesting and original comment
• 1 points: An interesting comment but that was mentioned before by another student
• 0 points: A non interesting comment
