Introduction to Computers for Educators
CS-102 |
Designed to make students computer literate. Non-technical introduction
to computers with particular focus on microcomputers and how they work.
Students are introduced to word processing, spreadsheets, graphics
programs, databases, programming, and ethical issues in computer
use.Topics such as evaluation of software for classroom use, designed
to meet state requirements for those seeking a California teaching
credential will also be presented.

Exploring Visual Basic
CS-221 |
Basic principles of problem solving and algorithm development are
studied. Various statements of the programming languages Visual Basic
will be presented and used in this context. A fairly rapid pace of
coverage will occur in this course, as this is not the first course in
programming; complex and demanding assignments will form part of the
coursework.

Programming for the WWW
CS-222 |
Exposure
to programming for the world wide web. The languages HTML, Javascript
and XML will form the core of this course. The syntax and semantics of
the Hyper Text Markup Language that enables you to create web pages
with a variety of textual and graphical information units will be
studied in depth. The notion of client-server programming with GUI
will also be studied through Java and Javascript applets.
