Introduction to Web Databases
Course Overview
NCES 8669 This course provides an overview of web databases
including a discussion of web servers, client/server architectures,
as well as database design. The course shows the student how to
integrate the three critical components:
1. Client-side scripting (e.g.:Javascript)
2. Server-side programming (e.g.: CGI, Perl, VBscript, etc.)
3. Database connections and query language
"Active Server Pages" (Microsoft technology) will be used to
demonstrate the principles and provide sample applications. We will
also discuss how the same thing is done using other technologies,
such as Perl, Java, and Oracle. The thrust of the course is to show
the student how to create a website that uses a database to collect
information and then provide "dynamic" web pages.
Who Should Attend
Students with extensive programming experience wanting to learn more
about web databases, or students with an engineering background and
some programming experience would benefit from this course. This
includes students with an engineering, mathematics, or computer
science degree with some programming in any of the popular languages
(C, C++, Perl, etc.).
Instructor
William J. Wolfe, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Computer Science
at the University of Colorado at Denver, where he has been since
1988. He earned a Ph. D. in Mathematics from the City University of
New York in 1976, and was a commissioned officer in the United States
Navy on active duty from 1976 to 1981. From 1981 to 1987 he was an
artificial intelligence research engineer at Lockheed-Martin
Aerospace in Denver, Colorado.
He now teaches courses in Software Engineering, Artificial
Intelligence, Computer Vision, Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms,
Intelligent Agents, and Planning and Scheduling Systems. He has been
the Principal Investigator on several projects funded by industry,
including the Earth Observing Systems Satellite Scheduling Project
funded by Hughes Information Technology Systems of Aurora, Colorado
(now Raytheon Corporation).
Dr. Wolfe has been developing software for the past 25 years,
including simulations of enterprise scheduling problems (satellite
scheduling, factory scheduling, etc.), and classical optimization
problems such as the traveling salesman problem (mostly written in C,
C++, or Java). His specialties include software modeling of advanced
algorithmic methods such as Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms
applied to optimization problems.
In the past few years he has shifted into web-based programming,
emphasizing database driven web applications, such as active server
pages, SQL-server, Oracle, Java, Perl, and CGI programming.
