CSE1210 Client-Side Scripting 1

Introductory · 1 credit · BIT - Business, Admin, Finance and IT

Description: Students are introduced to Internet computing through the use of one or more Web-specific markup languages. As part of this process, students learn how the Web uses markup languages to provide a client-side approach to display static information. Students also learn how to analyze, modify, write and debug algorithms and documents that use a markup language.
Prerequisite: None
Parameters: Access to appropriate computer equipment, software, support materials and the Internet. More specifically, students must have the tools they will require to design, write and debug markup language-based hypermedia documents.

Outcomes The student will:

1 demonstrate an understanding of the general architecture of the Internet as it pertains to client-side scripting
- 1.1 explain and demonstrate the client/server nature of the Internet including:
  - 1.1.1 describe the internetworked nature of the Internet
  - 1.1.2 illustrate the client/server relationship that exists among the work stations, stub networks, mid-level networks, regional networks and the backbone that makes up the Internet
  - 1.1.3 describe and illustrate how servers, routers, switches, work stations and other hardware components are used to provide the physical matrix required for client/server relationships
  - 1.1.4 describe and illustrate the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) model of networking, in general terms, outlining how this protocol provides the data transfer mechanism required to establish client/server relationships
  - 1.1.5 illustrate the client/server relationships set up when a user makes a request for an Internet service and that request is carried out
  - 1.1.6 describe at least three examples of Internet services that rely on client/server relationships
- 1.2 explain and demonstrate the client/server nature of the Web including:
  - 1.2.1 describe the hypertext-based nature of the Web
  - 1.2.2 describe the relationship between the Web and the Internet as a whole
  - 1.2.3 explain why the Web can be thought of as a network of hyperlinked documents
  - 1.2.4 describe and illustrate the client/server relationship that allows user agents to interact with the origin servers that make up the information repository components of the Web
  - 1.2.5 describe how the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used to facilitate client/server interaction
  - 1.2.6 describe and illustrate the general flow of information through the Internet when a user agent uses a Web browser to interact with origin servers
  - 1.2.7 explain how HTTP is used to protect the transmission of data through the Web
  - 1.2.8 describe and illustrate the development of the Web in general terms using the Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 generational paradigms
  - 1.2.9 compare and contrast the Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 stages of development
2 demonstrate an understanding of the general nature and purpose of Internet-oriented markup languages
- 2.1 describe the role markup languages play in the Web
- 2.2 compare and contrast markup and scripting languages
- 2.3 describe and illustrate the development of Internet-oriented markup languages in general terms including:
  - 2.3.1 explain the relationship between Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), Extensible Markup Language (XML), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) and Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language (DHTML)
  - 2.3.2 explain at least two specialized Internet markup languages
3 design, write and debug code using an appropriate Internet markup language
- 3.1 demonstrate the ability to use an appropriate markup language coding environment
- 3.2 use appropriate techniques to design a markup language document including:
  - 3.2.1 determine and outline the intent of the document
  - 3.2.2 organize the document into appropriate subsections or pages
  - 3.2.3 describe the content to be carried on each page
  - 3.2.4 illustrate how the content is to be displayed
  - 3.2.5 identify the locations of the required anchors and links
- 3.3 translate design documents into hypertext documents using code elements such as tags, attributes and hyperlinks to:
  - 3.3.1 mark off the various parts of the document
  - 3.3.2 display text and visual data in a variety of formats
  - 3.3.3 create specialized formats such as lists, tables and frames
  - 3.3.4 create both textual and image-based hyperlinks; e.g., both single images and mapped images
- 3.4 compare the results of the script with the intent of the design document and modify, as required, including:
  - 3.4.1 use appropriate debugging techniques to compare the original design with the implemented document
  - 3.4.2 make changes, as required, to either the design and/or the document to bring both in line with the original intent
