Lesson Zero

Before you begin, be sure to...

• …bring a laptop!
• …make sure you have a web server installed that can serve local files on your machine.
  Your computer may have this already.
• …download the starter files (the codap and codapPlugins folders) to your server's root directory.
  You will find a set of these files here.

Here are the instructions for starting a web server and finding the starter files.

Lesson 1: Altering an Existing Plugin

In this session, you'll program a CODAP plugin—an estimation game—in JavaScript.

Here are the instructions for Lesson 1.

For the "vanilla" Mac situation, if everything is installed properly, you can run it with this URL:
http://localhost/codap/?di=http://localhost/codapPlugins/estim8/estim8.html

If you have changed your server or are not on a Mac, alter the above URL to point to the codapPlugins folder on your local server.

Lesson 2: Responding to CODAP Events

In this session, you'll teach your plugin to respond to CODAP events such as case selection.

Here are the instructions for Lesson 2.
