OBJECTIVES:

This course will expand upon the student's skills in the creation of a website application.  Students will learn to apply a new development environment in order to create and publish a web site.  Current languages, tools, techniques, and issues relating to web site development and creation will be discussed and applied where possible throughout the course.  Specifically the elements of Dynamic HTML or DHTML will be presented throughout the course.  The course will apply Cascading Style Sheets to web sites and will use them to interact with XML data files.

This class schedule includes classroom time for the presentation and discussion of material. Students are expected to have completed any assigned readings in preparation for class and be prepared to discuss the assigned material. Attendance is encouraged and expected.

  • Each assignment will be worth 50 points.
  • Assignments turned in after the due date without prior discussion with the instructor will be reduced by 10%
  • Students are encouraged to assist each with projects but are expected to do their own work. Joint projects and any work copied from another person will not be tolerated and will be given a ZERO score.
  • Some of these projects will include team activities and classroom presentation.
  • Each student will also complete a comprehensive project. This will be a fully functional commercially oriented website. This will be presented to the class at the end of the semester. 
  • All assignments must be in the hands of the instructor by the last day of class to receive any credit.
