Welcome Back!

It may be the start of the "Spring" semester, but man is it cooold outside. Perfect mapping weather (especially in the well-heated RA113 lab).

I'm quite excited about this class this semester -- we'll be learning a bunch of new skills that will enable us to produce some exciting interactive and online maps -- finally making maps move through time and allow user interaction. We'll also be working more on design -- to bring the graphics even closer to professional quality work.

You've all been through 310 so you know the typical schedule (Tuesdays: talk, Thursdays: lab). We'll be working with a new suite of programs: Photoshop Elements (for a taste of raster), Google SketchUp (for some fun 3D), and Flash (as our main player).

Should be fun! Glad to have you on board.....
