Canada Day:

Because Canada Day is on a Thursday this year, we cannot have class. However, we can't delay by a week due to scheduling conflicts. Therefore an additional class has been scheduled for June 28th to make up for it. Note: This is a MONDAY

There are a few things I want to make sure everyone knows:

• After week 2 - I do not want to help you with your FTP. This is something you should know as a web developer.
• Spaces, special characters and capital letters should never be in file or folder names on the web. Please remember this.
• The student webspace is: students.signalflare.ca/(student_name)
  Notice that there is no www at the front.
