CIS 111 is a required course in the CIT minor, which covers cross-platform web development using fullstack JavaScript and a mobile-friendly strategy.

Logical thinking, problem solving, collaboration and tenacity paired with patience are all important benefits of learning to code in JavaScript, HTML & CSS.

Set Up your Computer for 111

Complete all 7 tasks on the Setup menu in the top navigation bar before the first day of class, and definitely before you go to your first lab.

You are welcome to use your own computer in lab, but you must set it up before going to your first lab. There is no time to install and configure software during lab.
