I. Purpose and objectives
This course is an introduction to the design and development of web applications using ASP.NET. Additional topics will include web site design and an introduction to XML. Those who complete the course successfully will be able to describe how these components interact to produce distributed applications for intranets, the Internet, and extranets.
This course will be primarily a lab course.
II. Course requirements and grades
Attend class. Complete homework and project assignments. Review assigned chapters before coming to class. During class sessions you will work on assignments and discuss questions that arise in completing them. Grades will be based on exams (probably two) and a class project that will be evaluated on its design and technical aspects. A grade of ‘B’ indicates quality of work expected at the graduate level, an “A,’ better than expected and ‘C,’ less than expected.
Prerequisites: You must have some programming background, have at least a basic knowledge of how to write HTML, and have completed a database class or have equivalent experience using and designing databases.
