I generally create all of my own course materials, and refine them from class to class. I then publish them as PDF's that I have on my network drive at school (which students have read access to a portion of) and also publish them to my teacher web site via the school's web site publishing "system".
For my web programming class, I plan on having 2-3 weeks of condensed XHTML/CSS refresher (web design is a prerequisite), then cover JavaScript fundamentals for about a month, then a week or so of SQL, followed by basic server admin stuff and then the rest of the semester will be CF.
