Weekly Schedule

Remember RE-SUBMIT. If you get back a homework with errors and without a grade it means it has not been graded - you need to fix and resubmit to get a grade.

Remember HELP is available with on Zoom with Milo or myself - see HELP section below.

The CIS pool is now available for students that need to access licensed software that they cannot use from home.
Remote access virtual desktop
Instructional video for using Remote Access Virtual Desktop - HTML

Week Information
Assignments due in one week unless otherwise stated. I may add some things during the week, so double check the schedule each week! For almost all the assignments I want to see the code you write and the output it produces. So send me the address and a copy of the code. With play computer assignments give me the code and the output as you feel it would be generated. Please keep copies of all work you submit until you receive your final grade at the end of the semester. Remember that I record/tape all my classes and capture notes on the Smartboard. These are available to you under Audio and Smartboard.
HELP schedule I will set up some optional class Zoom meetings that you can attend. Check the week of information to see the times and dates.
Milo is the tutor or SI for this class. I will send you the information about Milo's Zoom address and his hours. My office hours are 1 on Monday, 10 on Tuesday, 1 on Wednesday, 10 on Thursday. I hold my office hours on Zoom. If it turns out other hours work better for students these may change, so check back. I am also available by request (give me a few time options) especially while we get other support in place. I have been meeting with a lot of students that request it, maybe something you should consider doing. You can email me with a couple of times you can meet and usually one of those will work.
I will send out the information to contact me on Zoom. I will post availability but you can also set something up with me.
Downloading WinSCP on your PC by SI Joe Fletcher
There is access to WiFi from your car under the solar canopies on the Fall River Campus.
Notes on downloading Office 365 which contains Access: 1) To get Access (part of Office 365) you first log in to accessBCC 2) You then select Office 365 Dashboard 3) You will see some Office products listed on the side and on the right you will see a button that says Install Office - click on the button 4) You want the first choice in the popup you see - Office 365 apps 5) Save the OfficeSetup.exe and then run it (when asked about making changes I said yes) 6) Now it downloads office including Access.

Week #13
Week of April 25th

INFORMATION:

At the beginning of the week we will look at images.
Then we will look at email, cookies and sessions.
Please read the following:
Cookies
Sessions
More on sessions
FINAL:
REQUIRED STATUS SHEET
I will post the final on Friday, April 29th and you will have one week to do it so it is due on Friday, May 6th. The required status sheet must also be turned in. Note that I only correct finals where the student has turned in the required status sheet. The status sheet is your way of being sure I have all your assignments. If you do not match my records, I will contact you.
FINAL EXAM
The final is open notes and open book but the only one you can ask questions to is me. Milo is not involved in the final. It is an individual project.
I will take homework the following week which is the last week of classes. Homework is due on Wednesday, May 11th but I will take a few assignments through Friday, May 13th. I just do not have the time to correct a lot of assignments passed in on Friday because my grades are due.
I decided to make the final worth 125 points so essentially you get some flexibility if things don't work and also partial credit definitely applies to the final.

ASSIGNMENTS TO DO:

Quiz: Quiz on databases and images Just to clarify when you bring up a random picture I want the address taken from the database table to be used. Really more like homework!
You need to identify yourself on the emails you send through PHP so I know who sent them. I have had some that were unclaimed in previous years, so if you have not heard back, resend
First: Make a email using html and php. It should include an image, color and several different html features.
Second: Set up a database table with idno, name, email and major. Send an email to everyone in the database. Clearly I should be in the database.
Please test sending it to yourself and only send me the email when it is working - you need to send it to my Bristol email.
Actually the Bristol email seems to have problems with images so test things out with your own email address.
Sessions assignment: Write the Rock Paper Scissors game where you use sessions and gather information on one page and check it on another page.

INFORMATION:

Note that there will be a week devoted mainly to catch up before the end of the semester.
April 8th is the last day that students can withdraw from their classes. If you are far behind you should do a realistic analysis and decide if you want to withdraw. If you have questions, we can talk!!! You should also talk to financial aid if you have financial aid and you want to be sure you understand the impact of failing and the impact of withdrawing.
This week we are going to start to look at arrays. We will return to updating after we cover arrays.

ASSIGNMENTS TO DO:

Math Array
Assignment:The statements Multiply by 0, Multiply by 1 are stored in a one dimension array and displayed. You need to extract the message from the array and display it before you show each group. You are going to display the math facts and the answers. The answers need to be stored in a two dimensional array. Set up a two level table to print out the math facts and get the answer from the two dimensional array. The two multipliers are the indexes that allow you to extract the answer. I used a nested while loop to do this and another time I used a nested for loop.
To clarify (I hope)... So there should be one array that has messages in it: Multiply by 0, Multiply by 1 etc. Every time you change to multiply by a different number, you display one of them. Then you are going to set up a loop with i and j or x and y whatever. To get the answer you want to display you need to go to a two dimensional array that contains the answers and extract them using the i and j or x and y or whatever. So for the first problem i is 0 and j is 0 so you use those to go to the two dimensional table and extract the answer of 0. For the last problem k is 4 and j is 4 so you use those to go to the two dimensional table and extract the answer of 16. It is kind of like extracting the miles from one city to another using two indexes (from city and two city). Here you are using two indexes that are the two numbers you are multiplying.

INFORMATION:

Introduction to CIS159 - Spring 2022
Introduction to CIS159 - Spring 2022(you tube version)
We will start off the semester with a quick review of HTML if needed and then we will actually start the PHP. If you have already had CIS122/44 or have previous experience, this will be a review. If you have taken CIS120/17, you have already been introduced to HTML. For others I suggest that you use resources at the sites for CIS120/17 and CIS122/44 or other resources on the web to accquaint yourself with HTML.
This example covers some of the fundamentals: html5example.html
A great reference for writing HTML is W3Schools
The students in this class have a variety of backgrounds, so for some HTML is review and for others it is relatively new.
Handout on using WinSCP3 Note instead of the host as cisweb.bristol.mass.edu we are now using cisweb.bristolcc.edu.
The port is now 220.
WinSCP3 is available as open source software and you can download it for home use.
You should be getting a username/password for the BCC site at the end of this week.
We will be working exclusively off the BCC cisweb site. You do not need to install PHP or MySQL, they are on the server.

EXAMPLES TO LOOK AT:

When we start to look at PHP log into cisweb and copy my examples from First Group PHP up to the site.
You can find First Group PHP at First Group PHP revised - a few things have been added

ASSIGNMENTS TO DO:

If you are new to HTML, I want you to build a web page and upload it to the server (that cannot be done until you get your username and password). The page should include at least list, tables, CSS and forms.
If you are experienced with HTML, I want you to develop a page that challenges you and uses elements that you stretch your knowledge - this is the time to explore more CSS or forms - experiment!
Due the Thursday after the week it is assigned so due February 3rd.(Note that homework is always due the Thursday of the week after it is assigned unless I give a specific due date.
For all assignments and quizzes, send me the address that I can run in the browser to test your program and also send a copy of the code.
