Textbook

All reference materials and readings for this course are available as free resources on the Web; there is no assigned textbook that you need to purchase.

Course Format

The course will involve a lot of hands-on practice and experimentation. It will also require that you learn how to use the Web as a research and problem solving tool. Email-based announcements and discussions will be done through the google group csci322. Quizzes will be taken through Blackboard. Grades on quizzes and assigments will be maintained through Blackboard.

Course Goals

• Students will have mastered enough Web page programming skills to be employable as Web developers.
• Students will posses an underlying understanding of the concepts needed to more easily master other programming languages and tools that are used to program Web pages.
• Students will improve computational thinking skills, which can be used to solve a wide range of problems originating outside of web programming.

Learning Objectives

• Learn how to use the Subversion version control system
• Learn how to build Web pages using HTML, Javascript and CSS
• Learn how to create Web applications with the PHP language and MySQL database server
• Understand the communications protocols that underlie the Web (HTTPS, HTTP, TCP, IP)
• Learn how to use AJAX
• Learn how to use the JQuery javascript library
• Learn how to build secure Web applications

Computer Science and Engineering Club

The Computer Science and Engineering Club is a student-run organization that uses a combination of email and campus meetings to plan events, ask and answer technical questions, post job and internship opennings, and discuss other topics of interest to computing majors at CSUSB. Club-sponsered events include seminars, workshops, tutoring and fun activities. You can join the club by registering with the google group http://groups.google.com/group/csec_sb.
