This certification might be of interest to you or of interest to someone you know. Free Technology Training Partnership with Microsoft I have a lot of examples using aspx that are up on brinkster, the list of the beginning ones is located at: List of examples Assignments: I told you we were going to be looking at how to do things better in this part of the course, so you can do something similiar to what I have at Brinkster (set up your own brinkster account) or you can would with the Visual tools. Your choice. I would like you to look at my examples and then create some programs that do similar things, make a couple from each of the categories in the list. Make them simple and experiment. |
| Week #9 Assignments Week of March 29th |
This week I want you to either use Microsoft Visual Basic or Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition (can be downloaded from Microsoft) and experiment with ASP. I suggest finding a tutorial and trying some things out, send me the results of some of your experiments. Please check back! |
| Week #8 Assignments Week of March 22nd |
I am planning to start ASP this week, so please get a free account at Brinkster or some other place that supports using ASP. I have asked Jacksy Dias to send you the account to Microsoft so you can download Visual Studio to work with. What I would like you to do is some reesearch on using ASP.NET and using it through Visual Studio. Find some tutorials and poke around! I will get back to you, but that is a start! |
| Vacation Week of March 15th |
Have a nice break and lets all try to get caught up! |
| Week #7 Assignments Week of March 8th |
Help/support is Thursday at 11 and 3 in K101 and I will be here after your class
until around 7. We are going to continue with Perl including databases and maintenance of databases. We will also look at a few other things in Perl in a little more detail. Check back! Last week, I looked briefly at the comparison between using a file and a database. This is the example that I went over. Files versus Databases Good article on Perl and Databases Examples: Another look at arrays Maintenance programs Week 7 examples Assignments: I am going to go over updating a database using three separate programs (see above). I want you to write a program to do adds, changes and deletes in one program. Create your own database with a different structure from mine. |
| Week #6 Assignments Week of March 1st |
We will start looking at MySQL because we need to be able to use Perl
with a database. This week we are going to focus on setting up MySQL on a server and querying and maintaining it. You will be accessing MySQL on the cisweb server. Information about MySQL is available at their web site. MySQL site Information about using it at BCC is on this handout. Using MySQL on the cisweb server If you want a copy to work with at home, a copy is available on the CDs accompanying the text book or at this site. Please look at the presentations under MySQL on using MySQL. Note: You will need your cisweb username and password. You should also get a copy of PuTTY to use with MySQL if you plan to work from home. PuTTY is available in the labs. Two sites that can be used to download PuTTY are: PuTTY PuTTY Here is an example sheet for use when you are creating databases and tables in putty: Using putty to create a database and table Here is another example sheet for use when you are maintaining and doing queries similiar to the ones I have assigned. Using SQL with MySQL You should be looking up tutorials on SQL. Two that I think are good are: SQL Tutorial (based on MySQL) A Gentle Introduction to SQL This is especially helpful for someone who has had Oracle because it shows comparisons between the two versions. You are allowed to have two databases (each can have multiple tables), under your cisweb. I have sent the names of the databases to your BCC accounts. Assignments: Perl function assignment |

Some examples for this week: Examples using post and get Examples using for loop Assignments: Experiment with the things you read about which included passing data with the get and with the post and the basics of a for loop. You should do a program that uses the get and then change it to use the post. The for can be included or a separate program. Check back! |
| Week #1 Week of January 25th |
Read chapter #1 and chapter #2 in the CGI/Perl text. Student downloads The information below is work I did a few years ago using another site: Look at the first three PowerPoint presentations under the topic CGI/Perl. Presentations Look at the code for the programs which can be opened under Printed code to accompany examples for week #1. You can also download many (not all) of the examples from the beginning cgi/perl and beginning HTML. Examples The examples I am going over in class are zipped. firstzip.zip If you have a login from CIT32, please use it. If not, you will be receiving a login soon. Using the web site: Using WinSCP3 Assignments: Do one of the hands on projects from chapter #1 and one of the case projects from chapter #2. If you do not have a site yet, write them and put them online when you get a site. If you do not have a user id and password, contact me. Also, when you make cgi files, you need to go into rights and set the properties to 755. |
