Subject: Web Applications I - Welcome

Dear students of Web Applications I (year 2020),

before the start of the classes on March 9th, I'd like to share with you some information about the 
organization of the course.

- all the material of the course (slides, esercises, video lectures, exams, etc) will be available from the 
web page: http://bit.ly/polito-wa1

- the lectures of the course will be video-recorded and will be available on this YouTube playlist: 
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqRTLlwsxDL-e9RexPadqEVaaUgy-Ge8O
(they will also be added on the Portale della Didattica, but with a longer delay)

- the first lecture (Course Introduction) is already on-line. Other lectures will follow in the next days, you 
should see them before Thursday

- on Thursday (12 march), at 10:00, please connect to the "Virtual Classroom" of the course in the Portale 
della Didattica. We will have a chat for discussing the topics shown in the first videos, I will take 
questions, and we will do some exercise

- before the first lecture, please also install the development tools mentioned in the Course Introduction 
slides

- the exercises and examples that will be realized during the lectures and the laboratories will be available 
on GitHub, on the page: https://github.com/polito-WA1-2020
You are required to create a GitHub account (it will be needed for the exam, and you are not a real computer 
engineer if you don't have one).

That's all for the moment. You may have a look at the introduction video (and the videos that will follow 
during the next days). I'm looking forward to meeting you at the Virtual Classroom on  Thursday (12 march), at 
10:00.

See you soon
Fulvio Corno
