Course Objectives:
The student will develop an understanding of object-oriented programming structure used over the Internet. The student will learn to analyze existing program examples and create program components. The student will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to use development software to create examples of "applets."
The student will create a web site that incorporates web programming examples that are an appropriate use of current web programming technology.

Course Description:
This hands-on programming course is designed to introduce the student to the basic concepts and skills necessary to write object-oriented programs for the World Wide Web. Students will be introduced to programming methods, components key features and language-specific development tools. During the course, a variety of examples will be created that demonstrate the student's ability to program applets and GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications.

A combination of theory tests, and class projects will determine your grade. Classroom participation counts too! No make-up exams will be given without prior consent of the instructor. There is 10-points penalty for any make-up exams.

2 Programming assigments (20%)
2 Exams (40%)
Quizzes/homeworks (10%)
Final (30%)

No late assignment will be accepted, and any and all UNETHICAL activity will be penalized with a final grade of "F"

Graduation: Students planning to obtain a certificate or degree from St. Petersburg Junior College are required to apply for graduation. The application must be filled out and turned in by the end of the first month of the student's last semester. The application is available at the Information Desk in the Administration building.

Note: No "Incomplete" grade will be given without documentation of death in the family or documented hospitalization of the student. Any dispute over final grades must be resolved within 30 days of your posted grade. After that time, all test and assignment materials may be destroyed.

Instructions will be given verbally as well as written. You are responsible for taking notes during lectures, reading the text, working exercises, and completing all assignments by the assigned due date. It will be very difficult for you to successfully complete this course without your active participation.
