Course Outline

Pre-Requisites

It is expected that you are familiar with the material from the two pre-requisite courses: Web Development and Object Oriented Programming 1 with Java. If you received a B or higher in both of these courses then you should have no problem with the work in this course.

However, if you received a lower grade in either one or both of SYST10049 and PROG10082 then you will have some difficulty with this course. You will need to brush up on the material in both courses as you also study for and do the work in this course. The web sites below contain the full content of both courses. Check these two pages and ensure that you've learned all of the material - You are responsible for ensuring that you've learned all of the material below:

Software Required

You will require the following software for this course:

• You will need access to your dev.fast.sheridanc.on.ca web space (you can view your account information or reset your password at FAST Tech.
  • If you can't remember how to access this space, you can use your materials/instructions from syst10049. If you no longer have access to those materials, you can use mine: SYST10049 Setup Tasks.
  • If you are unable to access your web space on the dev.fast server, you will need to get this cleared up before the start of the second class by contacting fast_support@sheridanc.on.ca.
  • You are required to protect your syst10199 directories with .htaccess as you did in term 1. Instructions on how to do this are in the SYST10049 Setup Tasks (make sure you replace all occurrences of syst10049 with syst10199 !!)
  • If you did not take syst10049, you will need to set up your space before the start of the first class. Please see the following sets of instructions:
    SYST10049 Setup Tasks
    
    How and What to Publish.
• An IDE for web development:
  • In class, I will be using VS Code, and it's really good and very customizable, so I highly recommend it (and you're probably using it for Java 2, also)
  • IntelliJ WebStorm (it's not free, so use this link to apply for a free student license - you must use your sheridancollege.ca email) I haven't used WebStorm in years but I really liked it back when I used it.
  • Sublime Text - I use this sometimes for quick tasks, it's nice.
• A file archiving utility of your choice, for example WinRAR or IZArc.
• An FTP client of your choice, for example FileZilla (this is what I'll be using in class), Core FTP, or WinSCP.
