Course Number: IT202Course Title: Internet ApplicationsSection: 007Semester: Fall 2023Date & Time:007: Tues/Thurs 11:30am-12:50pm KUPF 106Modality: Face to FaceCredits: 3Office Hours: Mon/Thurs 2:50 - 3:50 pm (CKB Main Floor Study Lounge, no appointmentnecessary)General availability via Discord via a provided communication channelCourse Catalog:Prerequisites: CS 100 or CS 113 or CS 115 or a course in a high-level programminglanguage as approved by department.This course presents the concepts and software technologies that underline web-oriented,three-tier software architectures and applications. The enabling software mechanism include themarkup languages (HTML5 and CSS3) used by browsers, client-side scripting languages andlibraries (Javascript and AJAX), web servers and server-side-scripting languages (Apache, PHP,HTTP protocol), and background databases (SQL, MySQL). The course uses a hands-on,guided development approach with substantial assignments to illustrate the fundamentalcomputing concepts systems, and technologies considered and to provide direct experience intheir use.Instructor:Matt Toegel (matthew.toegel@njit.edu )Attending Class:Synchronous:Class will be held in the rooms and times given per your schedule from theregistrar.Mostly, I’ll be sharing my screen with everyone and going over the topics either via theclassroom projector or a screen-sharing service. There will commonly be time in class topractice the topic for that day and/or get a headstart on homework.We’ll be using Respondus for exams and everyone should ensure the softwareruns on at least 1 device (anticipate webcams will be required even in the classroom).Asynchronous:Class material will be available each Monday and is expected to be reviewed thatweek. Assignments may be due at the end of the week or the end of the next week.You’ll also have participation assignments each week.We’ll be using Respondus for exams and everyone should ensure the softwareruns on at least 1 device (webcams will be required).Both:It’s highly encouraged to ask questions and express any doubts/concernsthroughout the course. I want to give everyone the opportunity to raise any concerns orask any questions to make sure they’re on track for the semester.Make sure to always keep in communication with me if there are any concernsabout the class or anything related, this can be done via Discord (preferred), email,Canvas Inbox, etc.Academic Integrity:The work done is expected to be your own, any group work should clearly distinguishownership of tasks. Use of snippets/material from others should be kept to a minimum and thesource should be accredited where applicable.That being said, please also note the below:Academic Integrity is the cornerstone of higher education and is central to the ideals ofthis course and the university. Cheating is strictly prohibited and devalues the degreethat you are working on. As a member of the NJIT community, it is your responsibility toprotect your educational investment by knowing and following the academic code ofintegrity policy that is found at:http://www5.njit.edu/policies/sites/policies/files/academic-integrity-code.pdf.Please note that it is my professional obligation and responsibility to report any academicmisconduct to the Dean of Students Office. Any student found in violation of the code bycheating, plagiarizing or using any online software inappropriately will result indisciplinary action. This may include a failing grade of F, and/or suspension or dismissalfrom the university. If you have any questions about the code of Academic Integrity, pleasecontact the Dean of Students Office at dos@njit.edu” Any violations of the NJIT Honor Code willbe brought to the attention of the Dean of Students.Overview:This course will discuss concepts and implementations of a web application covering thefrontend, backend, and data layers. Topics will range from markup and styling using HTML5 andCSS3, frontend/client-side scripting using JavaScript and jQuery (with usage of AJAX),backend/server-side scripting using PHP running on Apache, and data storage using MySQL.This course will be heavily hands-on with a milestone approach for a final project. Classparticipation and questions are strongly encouraged. Git will be heavily used for recording workand submitting assignments on Canvas.Outcome:At the end of the course, each student will have the skills and knowledge to build anddeploy a full-stack web application. Experience will include use of version control via git/githubwhich will be used to record the progress of an individual project (per student). The projectshould make for a good portfolio piece and/or a significant stepping stone for future classes.Assignments:Each week there will be coding samples related to the current week’s topics. There willalso be supplemental online resources as well as recordings. There will be a semester-longproject that each student will incrementally develop during the semester as new topics arelearned (a set of requirements/objectives will be given via a Proposal document). The projectwill be based on an agreed-upon proposal and the material covered in class. During thesemester there will be milestone deliverables for groups of features from the project. Themilestones will cover the gist of the features; there commonly is some time between the lastmilestone and the final demo/deliverable where the remaining features can be implementedand/or cleaned up. Projects may have a chance for extra credit based on surpassing theminimal requirements of the proposal at the discretion of the instructor.Illustrative ScheduleThis schedule is a guideline and is subject to change to fit the particular instance of theclass. All topics, in general, are planned to be covered. Some may have more focus than othersand per class interest, other topics may be included. (This has been readjusted into modulesthat’ll be learned, some modules will cover material outside of their immediate scope since thisis a Full-Stack course)Modules: (Each module comes with homework/practice and a quiz/quizzes.) Modulesmay not directly correspond to Week #s, some may span multiple weeks, and othersmay be covered together in a single week.Module 1: Class Overview / Git & Github / Workspace SetupModule 2: PHP Intro / JS Intro / Git Branch OrganizationModule 3: HTML Intro / Forms Intro / CSS Intro / SelectorsModule 4: SQL Intro / Project Options and Setup / Start Project Topics(Login/Registration)Module 5: PHP Templating / Regex / Project TopicsModule 6: User Authorization / Dynamic ContentModule 7: Ajax / Project Topics / BootstrapModule 8: jQuery / Project TopicsModule 9: Project Topics / PaginationModule 10: Project Topics and Final Deliverables/DemoTopics Covered in Modules (roughly in order of learning):● GIT and Environment work● PHP Intro / DB Connectivity● PHP Sessions / Cookies● PHP Function Design / Built-Ins / Magic Variables● SQL Intro● Basic HTML / Basic CSS● JavaScript / Ajax / Client-side Validation● HTML5● CSS Library (Bootstrap 5)● In-Depth SQL Design / Usage● JQuery (Selectors / Ajax / Dynamic Content)● Security Topics (SQL Injection / Sanitization / Etc) - Covered throughout relatedtopicsIllustrative Schedule (Week format)The midterm will be after Module 4 materialMilestones will be due at intervals after Module 4Grading:Exams / Tests will be graded out of 100 points.Quizzes will be graded out of 10 and will typically have only one attempt per quizProjects / Assignments will be graded out of 10. Some items may have opportunities forextra credit which will be determined per assignment and at the discretion of theinstructor.All points will be converted to a final percentage and letter grade at the end of thesemester. Canvas will already have the weightings applied.Grading Breakdown:Quizzes: 15%Assignments: 10%Participation/Attendance: 5%Midterm: 20%Milestones: 25%Final Project Deliverable (25%):Completed Project (Last Milestone and remaining features)Final DemoGrading Scale:A 100 % to 89.5%B+ < 89.5 % to 84.5%B < 84.5 % to 79.5%C+ < 79.5 % to 74.5%C < 74.5 % to 69.5%D+ < 69.5 % to 64.5%D < 64.5 % to 59.5%F < 59.5 % to 0.0%Materials/Technology:Heroku for code deployment (we’ll use two instances [dev and production])Est cost: $5/month or free with GitHub student developer pack ($156 credit forone year)A database will be provided and you’ll get your own personal credentials.Command Line / Terminal (via Visual Code & git bash (or terminal for Mac))PHP / JavaScript / HTML / CSS / jQuery / BootstrapOnline Resources Provided (articles and videos)GitHub/gitVisual Code - MySQL Client ExtensionVisual Code (IDE)Late Policy:All deliverables will be eligible for a 5% penalty per day late. Typically this will becontrolled by Canvas.Late assignments will automatically be marked as 0 by Canvas and will be pending untilthey’ve been graded.Missed Exams/Quizzes will result in a 0.If you are going to miss a class/material and cannot hand in an assignment, it’s yourresponsibility to let me know as soon as possible so the situation can be handled.There also will be no make-up exams (except, at the discretion of the instructor in thecase of a documented medical or family emergency from the Dean of Students).For any emergency please reach out to the Dean of Students so they can send out anofficial notice.Attendance Policy:Attendance is mandatory and will be recorded each class.For synchronous online sessions, make sure you login with your NJIT id so it’sproperly recorded.For face-to-face sessions, please follow the in-class instructions.For asynchronous sessions, make sure you do the participation assignments ontime.Having more than 4 unexcused absences will result in an Academic Warning Notice.
