In the Web Database Developer online program, students will learn to develop web applications using several different tools and technologies. This program is composed of multiple modules to serve as a baseline in developing and maintaining Web sites. Students will begin to learn the client-side languages, such as HTML and JavaScript and extend into server-side languages, such as ColdFusion and PHP.
This interactive program consists of the modules described below:
Web Design & Graphics
This series presents concepts for designing and building Web sites. It covers how to plan the structure of a Web site, maintaining the Web site files, and considering the affect that various browsers, monitors, and systems can have on the display of a site. Strategies for making a site download quickly and display well across all browsers and systems are presented, along with creating color schemes, backgrounds, GIF transparencies, and image maps. Additional topics covered in this series include the use of HTML and graphics for formatting and layout, and other useful tools such as frames, animated GIFs, dynamic HTML, JavaScript, QuickTime, Flash, and Shockwave.
Web Publishing and Design with HTML 4.01 and XHTML
The Web Publishing and Design with HTML 4.01 and XHTML series teaches you how to make Web sites using HTML 4.01, XHTML, and cascading style sheets. It also provides tips and guidelines to help you design and create effective Web sites, as well as organize their content.
JavaScript
This series provides an overview of the ways JavaScript can be used for adding interactivity to Web content. In addition, frames, cookies, objects, text strings, and a brief history are explained.
AJAX
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML is one of the most popular current programming techniques used in web application development. Use this series to learn how to build interactive, exciting, fast apps for your web site programming.
Dynamic HTML
This series is intended for Web page developers who want to implement Dynamic HTML in their Web site design. It examines the basic concepts of DHTML and the use of Cascading Style Sheets, implementing JavaScript with DHTML, and the DHTML object model. Other topics covered include objects, events and event handling, style sheets and content formatting, and binding data from other sources to Web pages.
SQL for the Windows Environment
SQL is the most widely-used database language. Acquiring a good working knowledge of SQL is an important skill for anyone who interacts with databases. Short, focused lessons start with simple data retrieval and progress to complex topics such as using joins, subqueries, stored procedures, and table constraints.
CGI/Perl
This series is designed for users who want to create interactive Web pages using CGI and Perl. It covers creating and working with forms, building programs using HTTP headers and SSI, and developing Web applications and utilities. It also discusses how to write data between Web pages and databases, and using SQL with relational databases.
ColdFusion MX
This series teaches users how to install and set up a ColdFusion development environment, including connecting to a database, and also teaches how to build ColdFusion applications that integrate such features as e-mail, FTP, Flash, Java, and XML.
PHP and MySQL
This series teaches learners to create dynamic Web sites. Learners will be able to apply their knowledge to the creation of dynamic Web applications such as content management, user registration, and e-commerce.
XML
This series provides an introduction to the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and its general format. It introduces the fundamentals of XML, including how to read a basic XML document, the XML document structure, and viewing XML source documents. It shows how to build an XML data document, including creating elements and element modes, naming XML objects, and creating declarations and well-formed documents. Building DTDs is explained in detail, along with creating and managing internal, external, and parameter entities. Additional topics covered in this series include a detailed discussion of the Document Object Model, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and XSL Style Language.
SQL Server 2005 MCTS 70-431
This series explains how to install, configure, and use SQL Server 2005.
Oracle
This series presents the common features shared by the Oracle Developer/2000 suite of tools, including Forms 4.5, Reports 2.5, Graphics 2.5, and Procedure Builder 1.5. It covers navigation of the development environment and describes editing and debugging features, as well as features that provide object orientation, integration, and OLE2 support. The series covers each tool in greater detail, examining the capabilities and functions of each. Advanced topics covered include the development of applications using Forms and Reports, and the integration of Oracle applications through a single point of entry for the user.
