Books:

M: Multimedia Making It Work 7th edition by Tay Vaughan. 6th edition is close enough.
F: Flash CS3 Professional Visual Quickstart Guide (or you can use an older version of the book if you don't have CS3) by Katherine Ulrich
You can use another book for Flash as well. It will be a guide for you to help understand Flash.

The syllabus will likely change a bit over the course of the term. This is more of an outline.

Bring up topics to discuss in class. I would like to have discussions about various Multimedia topics. Please look at computer magazines or visit computer related web sites for things of interest. Some good sites are:
cnet - pc magazine - pc world - maximum pc
