PHP and MySQL Web Development (4th Edition). Addison-Wesley Professional, 2008. (ISBN: 978-0672329166) Software: The following is a partial list of the software we will be using during this course: Dreamweaver (software available in the labs) Firefox (free download) Firebug (a free Firefox addon) Web Developer (a free Firefox addon) XAMPP (free download) Optional Software includes: Photoshop (available in the labs) Fireworks (available in the labs) Eclipse with PDT plug-in (free download) CIS291 Syllabus.docx Page 1 CIS291 Syllabus Fall 2012 Course Tools: Through-out this course, our main communication tools will be the course website, Sakai, and email. A forum in Sakai will be used for learning together. This means that when you are stuck on some concept or struggling with getting your website to look right, you can ask each other by posting questions on the forum. Students who provide helpful and unique solutions will be given participation points (See Participation – Added Points Grade under Student Assessment). Other Course Needs: Green Pocket Folder: used for turning in homework assignments. Expectations 1. Attendance and Participation The easiest and most important method of learning and understanding course material is to be prepared for, and present in class! Keeping up with the reading assignments prior to class will make classroom lectures more understandable and engaging. It will also provide you with the confidence to interact during class discussions which will also make the class more enjoyable for all. Attendance is required. For illnesses that cause multiple day absences (more than 1 day) you must provide me with an Engle Center excuse or a note from the doctor who treated you. For any absences, you will need to notify me via e-mail at least one hour prior to the class period for which you will be absent. You are also required to find out what you have missed from a class colleague and should copy/photocopy, from that colleague, any documents or notes that were distributed to the class on that day(s). Students who do not e- mail me prior to missing a class or who do not provide a valid excuse (Engle Center or doctor) will not be able to make up any work that occurred on the day(s) of absence. Should you be faced with an emergency, such as a severe illness or death in the family, please e-mail me as soon as possible to let me know of the problem and to ask what you should do about missing class. Simply notifying me in advance that you will be absent does not constitute an excused absence. The method of tracking attendance is the use of a personal blue examination book which we will call your Classroom Journal. This Classroom Journal is also used for the Participation – Added Points Grade. At the beginning of each class period, your Classroom Journal will be returned. You will open up to the next blank section and enter the date which will be used for attendance purposes. The rest of the purpose of your Classroom Journal is explained in the Participation – Added Points Grade section. 2. Communication Course communication is a two-way street. If you find yourself falling behind or having difficulty understanding the material, please make an appointment to see me. Get help before it becomes too late. At least write about it in your Classroom Journal. When using email, the following guidelines apply: All of us in class must check our Messiah College email every day. When sending an email for this course, start the subject line with “[CIS291]” followed by a succinct and appropriate description of the email. The course calendar is a critical source of communication. However, the calendar may change at the discretion of Professor Weaver. You are responsible to ensure that you have the latest assignments by regularly checking the course calendar. Assignments will never be moved up, but they may be pushed back or modified. Therefore, check the calendar at the beginning of the week for the most up-to-date schedule. CIS291 Syllabus.docx Page 2 CIS291 Syllabus Fall 2012 3. Attentiveness Through a combination of lectures, discussions, demonstrations, tutorials, website critiques, and guest speakers, this course seeks to provide a learning environment for students to develop their skills in website development. In order to foster this learning environment, be respectful and listen to whoever is presenting or talking to the class, whether it is me, a fellow student, or a guest speaker. You may learn something in the least expected place. 4. Craftsmanship and Pride Take pride in your work as a craftsman. Work diligently. When working alone, do your own work. When working with a team, do your fair share of the work. When turning in assignments, make the presentation of the assignment part of your craftsmanship, knowing that appearances do matter. All of us need help from time to time. When requesting help, seek help with the desire to learn the material rather than simply getting the assignment done. The former asks questions that facilitate understanding. The latter looks to the other person to do the work. It is still your work to do. 5. Cell-Phone, Email and Internet Usage Being attentive and using technology for purposes not related to this course are mutually exclusive. When in class, be fully present. Using technology to text, email, update or check on social media distracts yourself and those around you. Please refrain from using technology in this way. If it becomes a problem, your final grade could suffer. Student Assessment Assignments and Projects (25%) Assignments will be graded on the fulfillment of the requirements as well as the craftsmanship put into the assignment. Quizzes (15%) Unannounced quizzes will be given periodically throughout the course as an incentive to keep up-to-date on all reading and assignments. Exams (30%) There will be two exams of equal weight. The first will take place in the middle of the semester. The second will be a cumulative final exam during finals week. Final Project (30%) The final project is a team-built website. You will be partnering with a team from the Database Concepts course who will be responsible for creating the database, populating it with test data, and providing you with PHP database objects you will use in building the website. Your responsibility will be the website design and development. Participation - Added Points Grade Attendance and participation is vital to making this course interesting to you and others, so come prepared and engaged. However, some students learn better studying on their own. For those students, participation is an act of service to the other students in the class. I believe strongly that students who are actively engaged in the class also do better in the graded aspects of the course. Therefore, I will reward those who attend and participate with what I call an Added Points Grade. An Added Points score, given each week, will accumulate to your Added Points grade. The Added Points grade is not part of the required categories (which add up to 100%) nor is it a bonus in the sense that it is simply added to your final grade. To calculate your final grade, you would add your Added Points grade to your actual grade and divide by 100 plus your Added Points grade. Here’s an example: CIS291 Syllabus.docx Page 3 CIS291 Syllabus Fall 2012 Suppose a student’s final grade for the course is 70%. If this student did nothing for an Added Points grade, his/her final grade would simply be 70%. However, if the student participated and was engaged enough to receive an Added Points grade of 20 points, the final grade would be computed by adding 20 to 70 and dividing by 120 (100 + the Added Points grade of 20).

  • Tutorial #1: Getting Started with ASP.NET
    Tutorial #1: Getting Started with ASP.NET This is the first of a series of tutorials that will teach you how to build useful, real- world websites with dynamic content in a fun and easy way, using ASP.NET and C#. ASP.NET pages can display HTML, collect user input, and interact with databases. Note that these tutorials are not meant to provide an in-depth training in ASP.NET programming. The goal is to walk you through the development steps of a simple project, which you may later follow in designing an interface to your own final database project for this class. If you are interested in further study of web development with ASP.NET, I recommend the book by Scott Mitchell, SAMS Teach Yourself ASP.Net in 24 Hours, Pearson Education, 2010, ISBN 978-0-672-33305-7. Step 1. Installing the Software Environment Prior to using ASP.NET, you will need to install the following software: • SQL Server 2008 R2 for the database engine. • SQL Server Management Studio Express for the client (SSMS) • Visual Web Developer Express 2010 for the IDE • The .NET framework 4 environment To install this software, visit the following website: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/ Click on Download then scroll down to 2010 Express products and click on Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. Because Visual Web Developer is designed for developing ASP.NET websites, installing it automatically installs the .NET Framework and other required ASP.NET tools. You can also optionally install SQL Server 2008 (just checkmark “Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1” when prompted).

  • Websydian Web Developer
    Websydian Web Developer THE WEB DEVELOPMENT TOOL FOR CA PLEX Web Developer provides the software patterns required for managing the challenges of browser-based development including user and session management, data integrity protection, and user access control. Also included are abstract solutions for typical data manipulation scenarios, complete separation between application appearance and functionality. Web Developer contains WebsydianExpress , which is a platform providing a running web site out-of-the-box. This web site comes with support for multiple language sites and a browser-based administration interface enabling maintenance by none-developers and facilitating quick and secure prototyping of new business processes using CA Plex with Websydian, CA 2E or RPG. COPORATE DEVELOPERS TAKE OVER WEB DEVELOPMENT To enable transfer of back-end development resources to web, Web Developer provides an integrated environment making it possible to build web applications integrated with back- end processes and databases using only a single set of development skills. FOCUS ON BUSINESS PROCESSES INSTEAD OF TECHNOLOGY Web Developer allows you to stay focused on business processes by isolating the "technical plumbing", i.e. HTML syntax details, communication protocols, database management, implementation language issues and the like. SEPARATION OF APPLICATION FUNCTIONALITY FROM VISUAL DESIGN The visual web design is independent of the functionality of the application. Outsourcing of the web design therefore poses no risk on application or production data, and the web designer can work simultaneously with you on the web application. WEB APPLICATIONS INDEPENDENT OF PLATFORM AND WEB SERVER SOFTWARE Websydian web applications are platform and web server independent. Should the need arise to transfer an implemented solution from one platform to another, you can do this without any application re-development.

  • Chapter 1 Web Basics and Overview
    Chapter 1 Web Basics and Overview The Web is an Internet-based distributed information system. Anyone with a computer connected to the Internet can easily retrieve information by giving a Web address or by simply clicking a mouse button. The Web is a great way to disseminate information and making it available 24/7. Information can also be collected from Web users and customers through online forms. Maintainers and administrators can control and update Web content from anywhere on the Web. All these make the Web a powerful tool for mass communication, e-business and e-commerce. Compared with TV, radio, news papers, and magazines, putting the word out on the Web is relatively simple and inexpensive. But a website is much more than such one-way communication media. It can be a virtual o±ce or store that is always open and supported by workers from anywhere. Web service companies o®er free Web space and tools to generate simple personal or even business Web pages. But, well-designed and professionally implemented websites are much more involved. Even then, expertly produced websites are still much more cost-e®ective than other means of mass communication. For business and commerce, the cost of a website is negligible when compared to building and operating a brick-and-mortar o±ce or store. Once in-place, a website is a store that never closes and that is very attractive. People take great pains in building an o±ce or store to project the right image and to serve the needs 7 8 CHAPTER 1.

  • Website, Content, and Design Terminology
    Website, Content, and Design Terminology ACCESSIBILITY: Relates to web design/coding standards and refers to how easy it is for everyone to use your website, including people who are visually impaired or in any way physically handicapped, or limited by older or less common computers and software. These days with the smaller screen sized tablets and smart-phones, accessibility for use on all devises is important; especially with the growing number of people using smaller screen devices to go online. ADDRESS BAR: The white bar towards the top of your computer screen. It will normally have something typed in it that starts with "http://" This is where you type in the address of a website that you want to visit. ANCHOR TEXT: The text a link (hyperlink) uses to refer to your web page. These make a difference in your search engine results. BACKLINKS: Links from other website pages to yours. Backlinks are used to increase a site’s popularity with search engines and to get more people to visit your site. The quality of a backlink and its anchor text is factored into Google’s algorithm when deciding how much importance to place on it. BANDWIDTH: It may help if you read "traffic" first, but very simply, bandwidth relates to how much a resource is used. An analogy would be a freeway. The wider the freeway, the more traffic (users) it can handle. The narrower it is, the less people can use it at once (without problems). When a website gets a lot of visitors, it will use a lot of bandwidth.
