CIS475 Internet Programming II

Description

Students apply their existing knowledge of HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript to create web sites employing the PHP scripting language and a MySQL back-end database to create dynamic, interactive web sites. Topics include creation of web pages using PHP to display dynamic content, basic file system I/O, creation of a MySQL database, populating the database using SQL statements via PHP, and displaying the contents of the database on a web page.

Students should have previous programming and database experience.

Students should have taken CIS375 Web Programming I and CIS411 Database Concepts and have experience using HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript and to create dynamic, interactive, well designed web sites.

The Windows software used includes a text editor (such as NotePad++ or VS Code), an SFTP program (such as FileZilla), an HTML5 compliant browser (Edge, Chrome, or FireFox) and the MAMP or WAMP or XAMPP Windows, Apache, MySQL, PERL, and PHP) software bundle.

Macintosh software includes a text editor (such as TextWrangler or VS Code), an SFTP program (such as Fetch) an HTML5 compliant browser (such as Chrome or Safari), and the MAMP (Mac oS, Apache, MySQL, PERL, and PHP) software bundle from SourceForge.

Students do not need to purchase software because all software can be downloaded via the Internet.

Objectives

• At the end of this course the student will have a basic understanding of programming concepts using PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and HTML5 to create interactive web pages.

Create Your bscacad3.buffalostate.edu Home Page (10 Points)

For this Assignment you will first read the appropriate chapters in the textbook and then create a web page called index.html in your bscacad3.buffalostate.edu account web space which will be used as the starting page for the rest of your Assignments for this course. Your web page should:

• Utilize the following HTML tags and include the following:
• • Appropriate <!doctype html>, <html>, and <head> tags.
  • A <title> tag to give your page a title that describes your page.
  • Appropriate <meta> tags to provide keywords for SEO on your page.
  • A <body> tag.
  • An <h1> tag that contains your name.
  • A <p> tag that encloses a brief paragraph about yourself.
  • An <img> tag with appropriate src and alt element values that insert a graphic image on your page. Use CSS to define the width, and height values and other styling. I would prefer that it was an image of yourself so we can get to "know" each other. However, it doesn't matter at this time what the graphic is as long as it is legal and moral.
  • An <ol> tag that contains enough <li> tags that list the remaining Assignments for this course (see list in navigation bar above).
  • At least one of each of these tags: <hr />, <br>.
• Use CSS in place of any <b> (<b>) or <em> (<i>) tags.
• Use a linked CSS styles file to control and enhance the look and feel of your web page. Your page should have easy to use navigation and be easy to read using appropriate styles.
• Use JavaScript code to display the current Date and time and a JavaScript function that reads an array to display the ordered list (<ol> tag above) for the remaining assignments.

Your web URL to view your web page is: http://bscacad3.buffalostate.edu/~your-userid/

You will add a link to this page that allows the user (and me) to view your work.

Your username and password for the bscacad3.buffalostate.edu machine is the same as your Buffalo State network username and password you used to log into this Blackboard account.

Now, whenever you login to your bscacad3.buffalostate.edu account you need to issue the command cd public_html to change to the sub-directory where you can create and maintain the files for your Assignments and Assignments.

You can use ssh to login to your bscacad3.buffalostate.edu account and then use either vi or Emacs to maintain your files or you can edit them on your PC and use an SFTP client (FileZilla for Windows or Fetch for a Mac) to move them from your PC to your bscacad3.buffalostate.edu account. For Windows it is even better to use Notepad++ for your editor since it has a built-in SFTP client. For Mac the better choice is TextWrangler which also has a built-in SFTP client.

When you have this Assignment ready for me to view and grade you should post a note in the Home Page Discussion Forum with the URL of your web page so I can click on that link and open your Assignment in a new browser window (target="_blank").

Communication

This is a hybrid course which will have in-class meetings for discussions and also utilize Brightspace for chapter-based discussions and tests. Students are expected to login at minimum multiple times each week for course announcements, assignments, quizzes, discussions,etc.

Faculty/Instructor: I can be reached by e-mail with questions or for guidance that are concerned with this course. You should expect that I will reply to your message within 1-2 business days. Specific course-related questions (textbook, tests, discussions, etc.) should be posted in Brightspace so everyone can benefit from the questions and answers.

Students: If you have multiple e-mail accounts, please be sure that you access (or forward) your Buffalo State e-mail. Your Buffalo State e-mail is the account I will use to send course-related materials.

Netiquette

About Cell Phones, IPhones and IStuff ("HANDS OFF POLICY")
Before entering the classroom, turn off all cell phones, SmartPhones, IStuff, and other electronic devices. These devices are disruptive and their use during a lecture is rude to the class and instructor.

1. No electronic devices should be in your hands during class. This means no fiddling with your phones, reading/sending text messages, etc.
2. If you are expecting an important phone call or are compelled to play with Apps, do not attend class.
3. If you feel you have a legitimate reason to use an electronic device in the classroom, see me to obtain explicit permission.

This course utilizes BlackboardLearn to facilitate online communication between course participants. Please keep in mind the following "Rules of Netiquette" when communicating online.

• The rules of the classroom are the same regardless of location. Remember just because you're interacting online, doesn't mean you stop having respect for your professors, and fellow classmates. You're communicating with a real person, not a computer screen.
• Remember your audience. When communicating online it's important to remember who you're communicating with. When sending a message to a professor, please refrain from using "text speak". For example, Shakespeare never intended for you to type "2B or not 2B". Also, stay away from typing in all capital letters; it will appear as if you're shouting.
• Avoid b language. Language can easily be misinterpreted in an online setting. Be sure to review your work before submitting, making sure the reader won't be able to misinterpret it as b, or offensive. Sarcasm doesn't translate well online. Your audience can't see your facial expressions, or body language. Try to be as straight forward and professional as possible.
• Read everything, twice. Be sure to thoroughly read all course materials before beginning to work on your assignments. If you have a question, or need clarification, re-read the materials. You may have glanced over an important detail the first time. If you're still having difficulties, then e-mail your professor.
• Review all materials before submitting. When responding to discussion board posts, be sure to read all previous postings before you post your own. This way you won't duplicate someone else's comments. Also, it's a good idea to write, and save your work in Microsoft Word first. In case of a technical issue, you have a backup copy.

Policy Regarding Absences, Attendance, Assignments, Exams, etc.

• Class Attendance and Absences
  As many online activities will be completed throughout the semester, participation in our Brightspace Discussion Forums is expected. In the case of exceptional circumstances that result in you not being able to participate in a timely manner, you must contact me prior to the start of your absence (either by e-mail or by leaving a telephone message). Please be aware that a prolonged absence from Brightspace under these circumstances does not excuse you from any required assignments.
• Late Assignments
  All assignments are due at the designated time and due date. Late assignments will not be accepted. If there are circumstances that will preclude you from turning in assignments on the due date, it is imperative that you discuss the situation with the instructor prior o the due date.
• Exams and Final Exam
  See grading for information about quizzes and exams in this course.
• Disability Policy
  If you have any disability which requires reasonable accommodations to enable you to participate in this course, please contact the Disability Services Office, 120 South Wing, (716) 878-4500, and also the instructor of this course during the first week of class. DSO will provide you with information and review appropriate arrangements for reasonable accommodations. Buffalo State Disability Services Office Web Site
• Academic Integrity
  Reference: Academic Standards Web Site

  Students who are suspected of academic dishonesty will be dealt with severely in accordance with the Department and College Policy. This may include a grade of 0 for an assignment and/or failure in a course.

• Academic Dishonesty: Actions that compromise academic integrity include, but are not limited to the following examples:
