Thanks to Francis d'Oliviera and Eric Clements who worked on the website during
2000.
The 3rd edition website is the most ambitions yet and includes,
as well as the exmaples,
downloads, error list and interactive discussion board, plans for:
- transparencies
- comprehensions (i.e. directed practicals)
- more muliple choice questions with online checking)
- full answers
These parts of the website are not yet operational, but should be available in the first quarter. Watch the website regularly for news.
