COP 3835 Web Based Programming . . . . . 3(F,S)
Prerequisite: CGS 3823.
At the start-up level, web designers usually learn the basics of HTML enough to display some short descriptions, put up some images taken from the public domain and link their pages to other favorite sites around the Internet. These skills tie together resources, hopefully in a novel or attractive way, that already exist on the network. The next level of web working is content creation. The ability to build new resources for deployment on the networks. Develops simple to intermediate coding skills in the four major languages of web working: HTML, Java Script, Java and Perl. Focuses on creating new content, rather than linking or borrowing from other web sites. Cannot be taken for credit by CS/CIS majors. Material and supply fee will be assessed.
