COURSE TITLE:
Client-Side and Server-Side Web Programming
II.
CATALOG DESCRIPTION 2006-2008
First part of course trains developers in using features of JavaScript language and
designing client-side platform-independent solutions. Students learn how to write
JavaScript programs and script for JavaScript object model, control program flow,
validate forms, animate images, target frames and create cookies. Also teaches
usage of most popular applications of JavaScript. Second part of course trains
students how to work in server-side environment utilizing ActiveX Server Pages
technology. Trains students to create dynamically generated Web pages from
server side using scripting languages such as VBScript or JavaScript. If time
permits, explores alternative technologies to ASP such as Common Gateway
Interface (CGI), Server Side Includes (SSI) and Servlets (Java), along with other
server-side scripting languages such as Perl and PHP. Also teaches key
application standards such as source and revision control, coding standards, code
optimization and data integrity. Prerequisites: CS16 and CS35.
