COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Prerequisites: Completed AP Computer Science with grade >= 80,intermediate web generation skills or instructor approval.
This course is a good choice for the student who enjoys the challenge of computer science and would like to continue to explore this discipline. PHP, XHTML and MySQL will be used to develop web-based programs.
INEW 2434
Programming for web authoring. Includes industry-standard languages and data stores. This course may be repeated if topics and learning outcomes vary.
The course begins with HTML and XHTML. The student will learn JavaScript. The student will be able to decide between server-side or client-side applications as appropriate. As the student is already familiar with the Java programming language, learning PHP, a web-based language will involve a period of transition. As the student’s skill in PHP grows, we will add MySQL, a relational data-base program. Now the student will be able to deliver data to a web page and retrieve data from a web page. The student will acquire skills necessary to manage large data-based programs, being able to draw conclusions, and make decisions based on this data. Statistical analysis can now be employed as the student studies the data.
INEW 2434 is a 4 credit hour course. (3 lec., 4 lab)

Financial Aid Statement
Students who are receiving any form of financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing from classes. Withdrawals may affect your eligibility to receive further aid and could cause you to be in a position of repayment for the current semester. Students who fail to attend or participate after the drop date are also subject to this policy.
DROP PROCEDURE/ATTENDANCE
Regularattendance is required. Students should consult with the instructor when an absence occurs. If you are unable to complete the course or courses for which you have registered, it is your responsibility to withdraw formally from the course. You need to speak with and obtain the signature of the course instructor to drop the course. If the instructor is not available, a counselor, advisor, or dean may sign the drop form. Failure to drop will result in a performance grade, usually a grade of "F." If you drop a class or withdraw from the college before the official drop/withdrawal deadline, you will receive a “W” (Withdraw) in each class dropped. For more information about drop deadlines, refer to the current printed Credit Class Schedule, contact the Admissions office at 214-860-2484 (A169), or contact the division office.THE LAST DAY TO DROP BY 7 P.M. IS TBA
Students sometimes drop courses when help is available that would enable them to continue. I hope you will discuss your plans with me if you feel the need to withdraw.
STOP BEFORE YOU DROP
For students who enrolled in college level courses for the first time in the fall of 2007, Texas Education Code 51.907 limits the number of courses a student may drop. You may drop no more than six (6) courses during your entire undergraduate career, unless the drop qualifies as an exception. Your campus counseling/advising center will give you more information on the allowable exceptions.
Remember that once you have accumulated six non-exempt drops, you cannot drop any other courses with a “W”. Therefore, please exercise caution when dropping courses in any Texas public institution of higher learning, including all seven of the Dallas County Community Colleges. For more information, you may access:
REPEATING A COURSE

Lab Protocols & Student Behavior
All students are responsible for the security of the lab and maintaining the hardware and software in good condition. No food or drinks are permitted in the lab. Copying materials that are covered by Copyright is illegal. Most printed, graphic, audio and video commercial materials are covered by Copyright. Do not load your personal software onto the lab computers. Be sure to label all of your personal media with your name and the name of the class so they do not become lost or erased. Students needing to use a digitizing peripheral will arrange permission from the instructor and the student who may be using the station to which the peripheral is attached. Use of the peripheral needs to be planned in advance to minimize the time the work station is dedicated to the digitizing function.
Software
All software used for teaching is licensed to DallasIndependentSchool District. Making a copy for personal use or removing the software is illegal. Anyone doing so will be dropped from the program and/or prosecuted. Students who discover a problem or bug in the software are requested to write a note to the instructor explaining which software on which Student Station is not working and what the problem is. This will help get the problem solved quickly.
Hardware
Students having difficulty getting hardware to function properly are requested to move to another Station, if possible, and inform the instructor/lab assistant of the problem. Repair of equipment will occur as soon as possible. Students should “logout” and turn off computer, monitor and peripherals before leaving the lab, unless otherwise directed by faculty or lab assistants. Moving peripherals or changing cables is not permitted unless faculty or lab personnel or present. During classes the Instructors will determine whether the computers should be left on or turned off. Any accidents involving computers or peripherals must be reported to the Instructor. Unless the damage was due to negligence no charge will be made. If everyone follows these guidelines the lab will continue to provide quality service.
Printing Resources
Each workstation is connected via the classroom network to the printers. Print only final drafts and finished products that are connected to the class requirements.
