PS: Elaine Haight would like for me to remind you that AJAX will be offered Spring term:

**************
Come learn Ajax on Tuesday evenings at Middlefield campus Spring quarter. Improve your JavaScript skills and pick up valuable skills that are in high demand right now. Here is the course description:
COIN 71 APPLICATION SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT WITH AJAX 5 Units
JavaScript and XML are used to create highly interactive websites that function like desktop applications. You will learn to write advanced JavaScript programs that request XML data from the server "on the fly", and you will learn to use an existing framework to implement a complex design. Software engineering principles will be stressed, including separating the content from the presentation, programming style and documentation.
Four hours lecture, four hours laboratory.

** Additional COIN 61 Section in Spring!! **

COIN 61.07W Online for Spring term is currently full with a waiting list. CTIS Dean Tim Woods is opening a new section which should be available shortly in the Spring Online Schedule.

Here is the info on the new section:

COIN 61.01
Thursday evenings 6:00 – 9:50
Foothill College Room 4211
Instructor: Kathleen O'Brien

Kathleen is a great teacher and taking the class on campus can be very enjoyable - all your questions are answered immediately! If you are interested (or on the waiting list of the online section 7W), you might want to sign up for this new section.

** Non-profit Needs Help **

A non-profit organization is looking for a person (or team) who is able to modernize an existing web page. The job will use a new (purchased) CSS template that would need modifications. The insertion of a YouTube player for user selected videos, image gallery (from a 3rd party) and a 3rd party audio player. Credit would be given at the bottom of the page

The job is not a large one and could be done by one person or a team of people - either would be fine.

Job prospects must be able to show competence such as grades or previous projects. Compensation will be based on bids from interested people and their skills.

The project administrator lives in Los Altos and would be able to meet to discuss the project and show the needed changes and the 3rd party code. He has worked in the electronics industry for 30 years, and can explicitly define what needs to be done and how things should work so project completion can meet exact targets.
