Course objectives
• After completing this course students must be able to:
1. Students will put their programming skills to use in
constructing a complete end-to end information system
solution. This will often be their first opportunity to
construct a non-trivial system of software.
2. Students will be introduced to a number of topics that are
covered in more detail in other courses. This introduction
serves two purposes:
– it gives all students exposure to important technologies and
components (e.g., networks, database systems and languages,
clients, middleware development tools).
– Students will be better prepared to choose follow-on courses
that explore some of these topics in much greater detail,
improving their ability to tailor their degree.
