Much of the content on the internet is generated
dynamically by computer programs. This course will
explore the various technologies involved, including
forms, cookies, CGI scripts, SQL databases, and
a bunch of other acronyms. The specific programming
language(s) and tools we will look at will depend on the
background and skills of the participants, but
will include at least HTML, CSS, Perl, and SQL.
JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, and frameworks such as HTML::Mason
and Rails are other possibilities.
The schedule of topics is still coming.
