Certificate of Completion in
Database-driven Web Sites
The Certificate
As the world becomes more data-centric, the demand for the
development of database-driven web sites has increased. Therefore
the need for programmers who can create and maintain these
web environments has also increased. As a result of training
in database-driven web sites, you will be exposed to concepts
that will provide you with the ability to transform your static
website into a dynamic web site. The certificate not only
gives you the big picture, but it also offers the ability
to get into the technical details. You will accomplish the
following:
• Understand how databases interact with web sites
• Understand the basics of structured query language
(SQL)
• Learn and use web development tools with server-side
web technologies
• Manage and integrate components in a database-driven
web project
Topics covered include the following for Database-driven
Web sites: Active Server Pages (ASP), Dreamweaver/Ultradev,
Coldfusion, and Common Gateway Interface (CGI).
Requirements
To receive the Certificate, candidates must successfully
complete four courses. Those who do not wish to pursue a certificate
may take individual classes. All courses provide Continuing
Education Units (CEUs). A Certificate can be earned in one
semester.
Course Schedule
The courses have been scheduled for weekday evenings, from
6 p.m. to 9 p.m., for the convenience of working professionals.
Prerequisites
A familiarity with and knowledge of HTML is required for
this certificate, and also previous knowledge of web design
and/or web programming. (A Certificate of Completion in Web
Design would satisfy this requirement).
Who Should Attend?
Business professionals and students who want a thorough
knowledge of database-drive websites in a short period of
time should attend these classes.
Career Opportunities
Courses are designed for the following positions:
• Web Master
• Assistant Web Administrator
• Web Programmer
• Web Integration Specialist

Required Courses
CIX 971-01
ASP (for Database-driven Web Sites)
.9 CEUs
This introductory course exposes you to the ASP scripting
(server-generated pages) which directs other programs to access
databases, and to serve pages to various browsers. As a result
of this class, you will know why ASP is almost as efficient
as writing code directly to the server’s application
program interface. You will also learn why ASP is more efficient
than other languages such as CGI, and how it runs as a service
and takes advantage of multithreaded architectures.
CIX 972-01 Dreamweaver/ Ultradev (for Database-driven Sites)
.9 CEUs
This course provides an overview of Dreamweaver/ UltraDev,
which is Macromedia’s tool for building powerful, database-driven
Web sites. UltraDev merges the easy-to-use interface of Dreamweaver
with robust database integration features. Dreamweaver/UltraDev
features built-in support for Active Server Pages (ASP), JavaServer
Pages (JSP), and ColdFusion. As a result of this course, you
will be able to determine which technology is the right one
for your application.
CIX 973-01 Coldfusion (for Database-driven Web Sites)
.9 CEUs
This web programming language allows you to integrate databases
into web sites. The class will provide an introduction to
how CF works and the special ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML)
used to produce CF pages. The main focus will be how the tags
allow for simple retrieval from and input to a database. This
course is not for beginners; it is designed for advanced web
developers. Prerequisites: (1) All students in the class should
have a strong knowledge of HTML, including text layout, forms,
and tables. Students should know how to use an FTP program.
CIX 974-01
CGI (for Database-driven Web S ites)
.9 CEUs CRN
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for interfacing
external applications with information servers, such as HTTP
or Web servers. A plain HTML document that the Web daemon
retrieves is static, which means it is a text file that doesn’t
change. A CGI program, on the other hand, is executed in real-time,
so that it can output dynamic information. This course will
expose you to the world of CGI!
