A port of the open wikibook Lua Programming to LiaScript.

This book aims to teach usage of the latest version of Lua. This means it will be attempted to regularly update it as new versions of Lua come out (Lua releases are infrequent enough that this should not be too difficult). Currently, the book is up-to-date for Lua 5.2, which is the previous version. If you are using Lua in an embedded environment that uses an older version of Lua in the 5.x branch (Lua 5.0 and Lua 5.1), the material should still be sufficiently relevant for you.

The first video in the Internet series of videos supporting the Introduction to Computers and BCIS series.

In this video we talk about what is a computer network and how that relates to the Internet. We also talk about some of the basic types of network hardware we need to make a network as well as the difference between a LAN and WAN.

If you have no background in networking this is the video to start with before you go any further into the Internet series.

We love our definitions and in this video we define what the Internet is. We take a quick look at how the Internet got its start. Finally we look at how to get on the Internet, how to pick the right ISP and check to see how fast you are surfing.

In this interactive lesson, students consider the issue of internet privacy, both in their own lives and in society, including government spying, parental monitoring, and corporate tracking of consumers. What is the connection and potential conflict between safety and privacy, both on a personal and institutional level?

Students will be reminded of the dangers of sharing too much information about themselves and learn the importance of being vigilant when they are using the internet. This will help them learn to stay safe from online predators, cyberbullying and cyberharassment, using social networks and file-sharing networks safely.

With our tutorial, we want to send everyone into the interview room (or potentially virtual interview room) prepared and confident. You know you have skills and talents to offer to the employer, you know you are the best fit for the position, so now the preparation you complete for that interview will ensure the employer knows it too.We break down the four phases of an interview process: Preparation, What to Wear, How to Present Your Best Self, and How to Follow Up.

Students will be introduced to the Build My City project, which is the final project of the unit. The teacher will present a demo project to students and explain the design requirements and expectations.
Students will review key programming concepts that will be used in their Build My City projects, by looking at the code of an example project.
Students will meet in their project groups and use storyboarding to develop their ideas for their city.
