The following tutorials and examples are designed to compliment the course objectives. My hope is that they will not only help build your technical skill set but encourage further inquisition, teamwork and independent problem solving.

All I ask is that you drop me a line and let me know that you're using them and if you found them helpful, etc. Keep in mind that they were created in the context of the classroom and were not designed to be independent resources.
