COURSE DESCRIPTION:
CSET:3200 Client-Server Computing. [3 semester credit hours (3-0-0)].
Covers client/server architecture and programming techniques. Major
topics include two and three-tier client server architectures,
programming considerations, clean layering, advanced graphical user
interface controls, database processing, transaction processing and monitoring.
Prerequisite: Associate degree in engineering technology or equivalent.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- Students will be able to provide a generalized definition of client-server computing,
one not limited to simple distributed database systems.
- Students will learn the advantages of client-server systems over monolithic systems.
- Students will provide definitions and explanations for a large number of technical
terms and acronyms related to client-server computing.
- Students will apply the techniques and features of a client/server development
language to construct a moderately complex
client/server application.
- Students will apply the concepts learned in this course to the development of
client-server applications that are Internet and/or World Wide Web based.
TENTATIVE COURSE OUTLINE:
