Online Undergraduate Certificate in Enterprise Web Applications Using .Net

This course introduces students to writing computer programs. The class presents the principles of structured programming using the Python® language, one of the most increasingly preferred languages for programming today. Because of its ease of use, it is ideal as a first programming language and runs on both the PC and Macintosh platforms. The course is designed for people without previous programming experience who do not necessarily plan on becoming professional programmers. However, the knowledge gained in the class can be applied later to other languages such as C and Java®. Participants learn to solve problems logically by breaking them into smaller pieces, which can then be solved. The course uses standard Python to afford a more interactive experience. Topics include: introduction to computing - how does a computer work?; input and output - getting information to and from the user; variables and expressions - performing arithmetic; data statements - reading information from inside the program; text files - reading information from other files; arrays - groups of variables; debugging - finding errors in your program; graphics; and formatting - changing how things look on the screen.

This course introduces the scripting languages necessary in custom programming for server administration and security purposes. Introductory level programming will be covered using scripting languages such as JavaScript®, VBScript®, Windows Shell Script, Python® and SQL. Previous programming experience is recommended. You must have access to a Windows®-based system to successfully complete the assignments in the course. JavaScript® is a registered trademark of Oracle America, Inc.

This course studies the .NET framework. Students will examine the differences between Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and VB.NET. Students will examine Common Language Runtime (CLR), Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), NET Framework Class Library, and Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET). The course will create classes, properties, methods, constructor methods, sub-procedures, and function-procedures. Students will handle events, explore datatypes, build Windows forms, add and interact with controls, specify events, develop event-handling code, and add menus. Students will also evaluate ADO.NET, choose an ADO.NET provider, connect to a database, and perform database interactions. Students must have access to Visual Studio® 2019 Community Edition (or higher). This software is not covered by the course material grant and must be purchased/provided by the student.

This course is a study of the theory, concepts, and applications of the Active Server Page (ASP.NET) web development environment. Students will learn about working with the page (web form, error handling, tracing, page personalization, and rich page composition), the ASP.NET object Model (request, response, server, session, application, global.asax file, and collaborative data object), the HTTP Request Context and life cycle. The student will also manage and establish state across HTTP connections, MVC model and web services. Students must have access to Visual Studio® or Visual Web Developer Express Edition® software. (Prerequisite: ENTD200 and ENTD361) Visual Studio® and Visual Web Developer® are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.

This course is a study of the C# language and its object-oriented facilities to create applications using the .NET Framework. Students will explore data types, classes, methods, parameters, properties, interfaces, iteration, conditional branching, constructor methods, and destructor methods. They will examine parameter passing, method overloading, method overriding, access modifiers, exception handling, and event handling. They will also create forms with controls, and with event handling for these controls. Students will also use Visual Studio.Net to set profiles, create projects, use the solution explorer, set references, set project properties, use the code editor, define assembly information, compile the code, run the application, and debug the program. Students must have access to Microsoft Visual Studio® software. Students must have access to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or Visual C# 2010 Express Edition or higher.

This course evaluates the process for designing, developing, and deploying .NET enterprise applications. This course is a culmination of courses on Visual Basic.Net, ASP.Net, and C#.Net; the student will apply the knowledge and skills learned in these courses to develop and deploy a web-based application. This course investigates the process for configuring the .Net Framework and examines the issues related to project integration and application deployment. Students must have access to Visual Studio® 2008 or Visual Web Developer® 2008 Express Edition (or higher) and Microsoft Access® 2007 (or higher) software. This software is not provided by the course material grant and must be purchased/provided by the student.
