Course Prerequisite CPSC 4125. Description This is a project-based course. Teams consisting of 3-5 students will develop working prototypes of large-scale web applications. Teams and their individual members will be required to make presentations reflecting progress through each stage of the project development: task formulation, analysis, prototyping and design, coding, debugging, and testing. The final report will include a demonstration of the fully functional project. In addition, this course will provide a comprehensive introduction to building web applications and web services using the Microsoft .NET Framework. Technologies covered include programming in the Visual C# .NET language, the .NET Common Language Runtime, the .NET Framework classes, ADO.NET, ASP.NET and XML. Comparisons between C# and VB.NET will also be covered. Topics include application architecture and design, the architecture of the .NET Framework, as well as practical development issues such as debugging, deployment, security, scalability, performance and availability. Students should have experience designing, programming and debugging software. Familiarity with object-oriented concepts such as classes, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism is required, as these topics will only be briefly reviewed. Experience with Web development technologies (e.g. HTML, JavaScript, HTTP, Active Server Pages) and database technologies (e.g. SQL) is also required.

Software In this course, we will be using Visual Studio 2010 as our primary Web development tool. This software is available on the classroom computers and the computers in the Computer Science tutoring lab (CCT 450). If you want to install this software for home use, you can acquire the software through the MSDNAA agreement as described below. We will also be using SQL Server Express 2008 for the individual Web development assignments and SQL Server 2008 R2 for the team assignment. SQL Server Express 2008 is typically installed when Visual Studio 2010 is installed. You do not need to install SQL Server 2008 R2 as this will be installed on a CSU server. Additional database installation and use instructions will be provided in CougarView.

Getting Help Student assistants in the Computer Center and in the open lab can help you with basic computer-related problems (such as logging onto the network, saving your work, etc.), but they are not obligated and may not possess the necessary skills to help you with your assignments. Tutors in the School of Computer Science tutoring lab (CCT 450) can help you with the assignments. Their schedule is typically posted in the School of Computer Science office. Do not ask the tutors to write HTML, JavaScript, ASP.NET, or other code required for this course for you. They are instructed to assist you in understanding concepts only.

Academic Honesty/ Plagiarism Policy

Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, activities such as cheating and plagiarism (http://ace.columbusstate.edu/advising/a.php#AcademicDishonestyAcademicMisconduct). It is a basis for disciplinary action. Any work turned in for individual credit must be entirely the work of the student submitting the work. All work must be your own. For group projects, the work must be done only by members of the group. You may share ideas but submitting identical assignments (for example) will be considered cheating. You may discuss the material in the course and help one another with debugging; however, any work you hand in for a grade must be your own. A simple way to avoid inadvertent plagiarism is to talk about the assignments, but don't read each other's work or write solutions together unless otherwise directed by me. For your own protection, keep scratch paper and old versions of assignments to establish ownership until after the assignment has been graded and returned to you. If you have any questions about this, please contact me immediately. For assignments, access to notes, the course textbooks, books and other publications is allowed. All work that is not your own, MUST be properly cited. This includes any material found on the Internet. Stealing or giving or receiving any code, diagrams, drawings, text or designs from another person (CSU or non-CSU, including the Internet) is not allowed. Having access to another persons work on the computer system or giving access to your work to another person is not allowed. It is your responsibility to prevent others from having unauthorized access to your work. No cheating in any form will be tolerated. Penalties for academic dishonesty may include a zero grade on the assignment or exam/quiz, a failing grade for the course, suspension from the Computer Science program, and dismissal from the program. All instances of cheating will be documented in writing with a copy placed in the Schools files. Students will be expected to discuss the academic misconduct with the faculty member and the chairperson. For more details see the Student Handbook: http://students.columbusstate.edu/policies.php. In programming courses such as this, you must be particularly diligent in submitting only your own work. In completing the assignments for this course, if you use another source or sources, you must clearly document what source(s) you used and the extent of that use. This includes messages posted in the discussions as well. Unquoted/paraphrased material as well as directly quoted material must be referenced. Quoted textual material must appear in quotes. Submitted work that is comprised significantly of external sources, even if those sources are properly documented, may receive a reduction in score. In addition, not following proper external source documenting requirements will be considered plagiarism and will result in the sanctions described above.

Confidentially of Information Shared by Students

CSU does not guarantee the confidentiality of information shared by students in the course environment. Therefore, students should not share any confidential information from employers or other sources unless this information is explicitly released for public use.

ADA If you have a documented disability as described by the Rehabilitation Act Accommodatio of 1973 (P.L. 933-112 Section 504) and Americans with Disabilities Act n Notice (ADA) and would like to request academic and/or physical accommodations please contact Joy Norman at the Office of Disability Services in the Center for Academic Support and Student Retention, Tucker Hall (706) 5682330, as soon as possible.
