Note that the last two sections of each chapter typically are a summary and a list of references (and thus short). * Material within square brackets ([..]) is recommended, but not required * We're covering topics not in the textbook order, but in an order that tries to (1) introduce material required for project decisions early and (2) covers database programming before database design. * Project demos are to be scheduled for a 1-hour timeslot on the 14th or 15th of December, by arrangement with the instructor. If no suitable time can be found on these dates, students can schedule the demo for any *earlier* date, also by arrangement with the instructor.
