Course Objectives:
This course covers the science and technology that underlie business services and IT services in the Internet era. This course will introduce the following foundational concepts and techniques:
CEAB Graduate Attributes:
Though this course, the students meet the following CEAB graduate attributes:
Prerequisites:
The following are not official prerequisite because you are supposed to have taken all these undergraduate courses. For students from difficult background, you are assumed to have equivalent knowledge.
COMP248 and COMP249 (Java Programming), COMP353 Database; COMP 354 Software Engineering or SOEN 341 Software Process, SOEN287 Web programming, and SOEN387 Web-based Enterprise Application Design. Or equivalent courses.
Additional notes for the prerequisites:
1. Java is the only working programming language in this course. The assignments and the course project do require advanced skills on java programming, Web application development and software engineering.
2. This course may provide tutorials at J2EE level or Web application development if necessary. No tutorials for basic java programming will be provided.
3. You are supposed to know the basic knowledge about Web programming, such as JavaScript, CSS, XHTML, and HTTP protocol. The assignments and the course project need to practice this.
4. The lectures of this course do not follow tightly the textbook. Attending lectures is required.
5. This is a graduate course. Normally I use the latest programming techniques and introduce the latest research results. Some “experiments” are expected. The new software may (or surely) contain bugs, as from my experiences.
6. You may find this course does not meet your expectation by reading through the above statements.
Computing Facilities
You will use the Computer Science PC lab located at HXXX (TBD) running Red Hat Linux. Students will be encouraged to set up their own environment with the prepared installation guide.
Web Page
Many resources for the course (slides, assignments, example programs) will be available on the Moodle Web site available through the MyConcordia portal www.myconcordia.ca.
