COP 4813 Web Systems
Wiki Based Classes - All Students Read
The class management for these courses is wiki based. The class is Assignment Based. I constantly add information to help with the assignments. You are graded on your ability to DO real programming, not your ability to regurgitate information. I also do give credit to students who help me with more (useful) information for the class - this is called your contribution grade.
CET 4583 Course Outcomes
How the Class Works
This class is assignment based and you should start with the assignments. There are 2 components to the course; this wiki site and the Florida Online site. The Web Courses site is where you will turn in assignments and post to the bulletin boards and do all those Web Courses type of items. This site is where all the course content resides. A simple course syllabus is available at COP 4813 Syllabus

Step 1 - Start with the Assignments START HERE
Everything in this course is about completing the assignment. These are real practical assignments similar to the real types of jobs you would be facing as a web developer. Your first assignment is ALWAYS setting up your own domain and web site.
The assignments at this link COP 4813 Fall 2011 Assignments <- Here are the assignments
old assignments: COP 4813 Spring 2010 Assignments
Step 2 - Use the Lectures
There are no weekly assigned lectures or video's to watch - you are responsible for viewing the video and course content necessary for you to successfully complete the assignments.
All lectures are at this link COP 4813 Lectures
Step 3 - Get help
I am here to help. I will also put students into teams with a mixture of skills so that you can learn from the skills of the other students. You can contact me by coming by my office (ATC 107B), e-mail (eaglinr@daytonastate.edu), Skype (ron.eaglin), or phone (386 506-4176), or bulletin board at Florida Online ( http://online.daytonastate.edu )
Course Project
It looks like everyone has at least gotten into a project group. Here are links to the group sites;
1. Team Blu - http://blueteamsite.pbworks.com/w/page/46026981/BlueTeam%20Site%20Collaboration%20Home
2. Team WhisperQuiet - http://whisperquiet.pbworks.com/w/page/46019668/FrontPage
In addition it appears that the Blu Team site has potential collaboration with students in COP 2905. They also have an operation site at
https://cop2905.pbworks.com/w/page/44830265/FrontPage
I will place more information about the project requirements on the COP 4813 Fall 2011 Project Page
Links to Course Resources
Textbook and Software
This course uses Internet and World Wide Web, How to Program, Deitel and Deitel, 4th edition. Click here to see prices for this book. The text web site has a very extensive resource center. This is the handiest reference text I have found and is worth the price. For the frugal - this class can be completed without the text - but you will need to do a significant amount of web research.
We use a lot of software in this class. You will need to get a department account for Microsoft ELMS for some of the software. Most of the primary software is available through Micrsoft DreamSpark . In addition you may choose to use PHP for some assignments ( Available at http://php.net/downloads.php ) and MySQL for database work (available at http://www.mysql.com/ )
