I have made some progress in getting material setup for you for the first week of the course. Everything in the “READ FIRST / Syllabus” item in Blackboard is up-to-date and ready for you to use. Early tomorrow, the first Unit should be ready and I will send you the ids and passwords that you need to access your personal MySQL database and your personal files area on the web host we are using for this course.
In the READ FIRST section you can find:
1.	An updated syllabus that shows that the class does not officially meet until April 29.  
2.	A preliminary schedule that will give you an approximate idea of what should happen each week.  This is subject to change based on our progress and on what you want to do for your project.
3.	A final project description that I have used in past GBIS751 courses.  This gives you an idea about what the scope of the project should be.  However, you may want to do something different for your project.  If so, give it some thought and let me know what you would like to do sometime in the next two weeks.  Also, let me know if there is something that particularly interests you in the area of building web sites or e-commerce and I can change the assignments to match your interests.  This is the advantage of being in a “class” with only two people.
4.	A link to files from the text book.  I have extracted the files from the web site of our text book and placed them where you can easily retrieve them when you want them
5.	A link to an entertaining ecommerce site. This site is simple but shows all the pieces of an e-commerce site including the opportunity to purchase something.  The main reason I included it here is because I thought it was funny and it does not take long to look at it.  (Don’t bother to buy anything from this site.  If something is going to be late, just let me know)
