Students will acquire a basic understanding of the Internet and the World Wide Web and how it operates. Students will learn how to establish and maintain a Web site. The course provides students with an understanding of the technologies that support Web-based interactions and their impact on the World Wide Web. Focus is on the investigation of the most current technologies including HTML, XML, Servlets, and Java Server Pages. The future direction of Web applications will also be explored.
Emphasis is placed on hands-on application of the technologies both inside and outside of class.
I am assuming that students can write, compile and execute a small Java program of three to four classes, and understand the concepts of inheritance, overloading, and polymorphism. The basic Java compiler can be obtained by downloading the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, v1.3 . Familiarity with Java may be obtained by following Sun's Java tutorial or by following the Java training tapes on reserve in the library. Notes, examples and solutions for the training tapes are provided. Note that in order to view the sample code, you must use Netscape.
