This page has been set up to provide extra help to students in the IDS program as they seek to master various development technologies. For each topic there are links to helpful web sites and in many cases there are (or will be) additional links to class labs and lectures that are relevant to the topic. The listing of materials here is by no means comprehensive; I have simply selected materials and sites that I believe are worthwhile. If students would like to suggest additional materials, please feel free to send me your suggestions via e-mail.
