Read chapter #1 and chapter #2 in the CGI/Perl text. Student downloads Look at the first three PowerPoint presentations under the topic CGI/Perl.

You can also download many (not all) of the examples from the beginning cgi/perl and beginning HTML.

Read chapter #3 and #4 in the CGI/Perl book. Look at the examples which you will
find listed under examples for chapter #3 and chapter #4 and also in the zipped
collection of examples under begin. Also look at the PowerPoint Presentations
called variables and forms and array and hash variables. Carol Mello is creating passwords for you to be able to use cisweb. If you need one (an are on campus) you can check with her - otherwise, I will email them when I get them. Under Postings/Notes on my home page, there is a link to some new scholarship information. Assignments: Do one of the case studies from Chapter #3. Finish chapter #3 and #4 - your assignment for chapter chapter #3 and #4 is to develop your own program(s) using the important things covered in chapter #3 and #4. (Include declaring scaler variables, assigning values, sending form data using GET and POST, creating and using an array, creating and using a hash, for and foreach). |
| Week #3 Week of February 2nd |

Assignments: Be sure you notice the assignment related to chapter #4 which is posted under week 2. Write a program that creates a file using the methodology in chapter #5. Once the program is written, write programs to retrieve information from the file. You should write the following programs: retrieve using an if with an else, retrieve using a compound AND or OR with an else, retrieve using a nested if with a nested if under the original if and a nested if under the else of the original if. |
| Week #4 Week of February 9th |
Read chapter #7 and #8 in the CGI/Perl book. Some of the information in this chapter we are not going to have in an assignment. There is some interesting information here and you might consider pursuing it for your semester project. But essentially we do not have time to do everything completely. We will focus on the topics in my examples (see code examples). Look at the programs on functions and the presentation on functions. I had some email problems this morning and lost some email (mainly things delivered on the morning of the 11th), if you did not get a response or you suspect something did not get through, please send it again. Assignments: Perl function assignment |
| Week #5 Week of February 16th |
Read chapter #9 in the CGI/Perl book - dealing with databases. You should also
look at the examples and presentations. The book does not deal with Access so
there is no text backup for the example using Access. I went to Brinkster and the free offer is there - please sign up for an account we will be using this account to work with ASP.NET. Brinkster Assignments: Write a program using a Perl database. You should be able to make additions, changes and deletions to the database. Try to improve mine so that you cannot add if there is a record with the same key. |
| Week #6 Week of February 23rd |
Read chapter #10 in the CGI/Perl book - in fact it would be great if you just read
the rest of the book - we are not going to deal with all topics. We will deal with
email. Look at the PowerPoint and the sample code for mail. This week we are going to start dealing with ASP.NET. I would go looking for some tutorials or a thin book. I found the w3schools had good information. www.w3schools.com Be sure you look at ASP.NET and not ASP (ASP is a previous version). I have set up an account at www.brinkster.com with cisstudent as the user. Email me to get the password. The examples we are going over are there so you can download them for your own use. Please do not load any programs etc up to this site. This is for me to make programs available to you. Please look at the examples and the accompany PowerPoint presentation called ASP.NET Introduction. Assignments: ASP.NET assignment #1 |
| Week #7 Week of March 1st |
You should be finding information on ASP.NET - again I recommend the tutorials at
w3schools.com as a good starting place. If you find other good tutorials or for
that matter, books you like, please let me know and post it on the board. We will look at the examples under controlsbegin and controlsweb on Brinkster using cisstudent. Assignments: Assignment on HTML server controls and Web server controls |
| Week #8 Week of March 8th |

| Week #10 Week of March 22nd |
Continue with the ASP.NET examples that I handed out in class. We will aim to
finish all that are loaded under database at cisstudent - if we don't make it, we
will finish on Tuesday. This Friday will be a class dealing with Access and
ASP.NET. Assignment: Your end of semester project is to explore an area that I have not covered dealing with cgi/Perl, ASP.NET, or the other topics we have not reached yet. You should do a write up of what you propose doing and get my approval before doing it. The project should result in a program or programs of reasonable substance. ASP.NET Update Assignment |

We will continue working with XML this week. Finish reading the second chapter/tutorial
and move on to the third. We will finish looking at XML examples and will look at

| Week #13 Week of April 12th |
We will look at XML with ASP.NET. The examples are on cisstudent under ASPXML. You should be reading along in the XML book through DTD. The rest is definately worth looking at on your own some time. Assignment: Using my examples as your guidelines, do two different things with ASP.NET using XML. What are you project plans? Please let me know! |
