This course teaches
students how to develop software for web applications. The concepts of
client-server computing, theories of usable graphical user interfaces, and models
for web-based information retrieval and processing are covered. In the past
few years, the way software is built has been rapidly changing. As use of
the world wide web has shifted from information presentation to information
gathering to direct customer sales (e-commerce) and to business-to-business
e-commerce (b2b), the amount and complexity of software has
steadily been increasing. At the same time, new models of programming and new
technology for designing and developing the software has made this complex
software easier to build. As a result, there are many opportunities for
personnel that have a light background in Computer Science theory, but a solid
level of knowledge of software and web-based technology. Thus, the topic
of this course is of interest to and accessible to students in a wide variety
of specializations. CONTENT:
SWE 432 covers some of the topics related to the exciting new programming models that are used to support web and e-commerce applications. We will be studying the software design, interface design, and development side of web applications. Programming skills are required and students are expected to learn HTML on their own. The class will be very practical (how to build things) and require several small programming assignments.
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
READING:
We will read
from the texts, various sources on the web, and transparencies that
will be made available on the web site. The schedule for the readings are
given on the schedule web page. MAKEUPS:
Unless
arrangements are worked out in advance, missed assignments cannot be
made up, and 10% per week will be deducted for late submissions. I understand
that your job may occasionally take you out of town; so does mine. If you are
going to be forced to miss class on the day something is due, let me know
ahead of time by email or in writing. HOMEWORKS:
A number of
homework assignments will be given. I will make the assignment available on
the class web site and discuss each in class. You will submit your solutions
by placing them on your web sites. You should submit links to executable
versions of programs, but may not post source files. Posting program source on your website will be
considered an honor code violation! Be sure that
you are on the class mailing list, as refinements and hints for the
assignments will be sent through email. Homeworks must be submitted before
class on the day they are due. Late submissions will be assessed a
10% penalty per class meeting, and you must inform the professor and TA by
email when a late assignment is ready for grading. All assignments must be
submitted before final exams start and will not be graded thereafter. IN-CLASS COMPUTERS AND COMMUNICATION:
Phone calls,
text messages, instant messages, email, and general web surfing are not
allowed during class time. Computers may only be used to follow the
material in class. Violators will have their devices confiscated or asked to
leave the room. HONOR CODE STATEMENT:
As with all GMU
courses, SWE 432 is governed by the GMU Honor Code. In this course, all assignments, exams, and project
submissions carry with them an implicit statement that it is the sole work of
the author, unless joint work is explicitly authorized. Help may be obtained
from the instructor or other students to understand the description of the
problem and any technology, but the solution, particularly the design
portion, must be the student's own work. If joint work is authorized, all
contributing students must be listed on the submission. Any deviation from
this is considered an Honor Code violation, and as a minimum, will result in
failure of the submission and as a maximum, failure of the class. GRADING POLICIES:
·
There will be several computer assignments (total 40%). ·
Each class (except the first one) will have a quiz. The lowest
three quizzes will be dropped, thus you can miss up to three quizzes. The 10
quizzes with the highest scores will be used to calculate the final grade (10
* 3% = 30%). ·
There will be a closed book, in-class, comprehensive final exam
(30%).
