Hi everyone, sorry about not getting this out sooner.

There are still student slots available in the IWA/HWG eClasses
course D201, Accessible Web Design, taught by Kynn and Liz Bartlett.
The next course starts on Monday, 4 August 2003. You can enroll
in the course until Monday, 11 August 2003.

This is a seven-week introduction to the concepts and technologies
behind accessible Web development, with special focus on the Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 as well as a review of the
Section 508 requirements for U.S. federal Web site accessibility.

The course is only $80 for paid members of the International
Webmasters Association/HTML Writers Guild; membership is $49 per
year. (Non-member tuition for this class is $180. Become a
member before enrolling, and save over $50!)

This is the 22nd session of the D201 course, which has been taught
online to thousands of Web developers since 1998. Updated course
materials are posted on a weekly basis via a Web interface, so the
class is convenient to fit your schedule, no matter where you're
located around the globe.

There are two textbooks for this class; "Constructing Accessible
Web Sites" by a bunch of smart people, and "Web Accessibility" by
the equally smart Mike Paciello. Due to availability problems
with "Constructing," its use is optional for this session of the
course; the Paciello book is available online through the IWA/HWG
eClasses virtual library free of charge to all enrolled students.

To enroll in the class or find out more, please visit our Web site:

Mike--

The Amazon link from the ICDRI site says:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1904151000/
ref=ase_theinternatce-20/102-7290419-6486525?v=glance&s=books

"Availability: This title usually ships within 3 to 5 weeks. Please
note that special order titles occasionally go out of print, or
publishers run out of stock. These hard-to-find titles are not
discounted and are subject to an additional charge of $1.99 per book
due to the extra cost of ordering them. We will notify you within 2-3
weeks if we have trouble obtaining this title"

Until Amazon has it in "normal stock," I can't really recommend it to
my students without them freaking out and asking me questions about
why it will take 3-5 weeks plus additional charge to get the book.

If the book is available, then perhaps you have better information
than what Amazon thinks -- but even still, with this Amazon notice,
I will still get a number of questions.

It is entirely my desire to move to the Glasshaus book for the
class -- and I would have for last class and this one too if not for
the Glasshaus implosion -- but until Amazon thinks it's available
reliably, I can't in good conscience require this for my students.

--Kynn

PS: This is posted publicly -- as was Mike's original message --
so that anyone who has questions about the textbook policy
for the D201 class can be aware of why I've made the decision
I've made. For each week in class, I post two reading
assignments: One from the Glasshaus book, and one from the
Paciello book.
