Wiki Based Classes - All Students Read
The class management for these courses is wiki based. The classes are Assignment Based.
I constantly add information to help with the assignments so even if you have started with an assignment it is worthwhile to look at it on a regular basis.
You are graded on your ability to DO, 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.
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.

Textbook
(suggested only) 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.
Software
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 Microsoft 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/ )
There are a lot of tools you may choose to use for this class. A summary of these tools is available at COP4813 Software Tools
If you would like to see seek professional certification - this class prepares you for the Certified Internet Web JavaScript Specialist http://www.ciwcertified.com/certifications/web_development_series/javascript.php
