IIUSA-525: Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Course length: 16 hrs
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of HyperText Markup Language (HTML).
Tuition: $895
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a simpler and easier-to-use subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), the markup language from which HTML was derived. XML is a flexible way to create information formats that can be used in many different applications for the World Wide Web, intranets, and other instances where many different groups need to share data. Because it is so flexible and provides for a useful way to split apart content and its visual display, it is likely to be in wide use on the Web very soon.
Web developers can exploit XML's capabilities to create richer, more dynamic information structures for their users. In this class, some of XML's possibilities are explored: students will look at document type definitions (DTD's) that allow XML authors to define their information formats, create simple XML documents and then work with a parser to begin to pull information out of these documents. Students will take a look at XSL (eXtensible Style Language), the style sheet language developed specifically for XML. Students will also discuss some of the broader implications of developing Web sites with this new markup language.

Note: The supported environment is strictly Microsoft Internet Explorer running on Windows. No other environment is supported in this course.
IIUSA-528: Introduction to Active Server Pages (ASP)
Course length: 16 hrs
Prerequisites: Familiarity with HTML and some experience with scripting languages. Also see the Special Notes, below.
Tuition: $895
Neither a software application nor a programming language, ASP is a technology by which Web sites dynamically deliver content in response to a user's requests. Beginning with a static Web page composed of HTML (with or without client-side scripting), designers add server scripting, ASP built-in and custom objects, and ASP components to retrieve information from databases (such as MS Access, SQL and Oracle) or from a wide variety of other data sources, and then display the results in pages built "on the fly."
A comprehensive explanation is given of ASP, including what platforms, applications and scripting languages can be used; and of ASP objects, scripting, and components. Topics include: Server-side Includes; the Response and Request objects; Cookies; the Server object; the Ad Rotator, Browser Capabilities, and Content Linking components; application- and session-level events; scripting objects; ADO and database connectivity; the Recordset object; using ADO and SQL to add, update, and delete records in a database; stored procedures and parameter queries, and creating a data browser.
Special notes: This course is intended for those who have designed Web sites using hand-coded HTML, and who have been exposed to scripting languages like VBScript, JavaScript or Perl. Those with strong backgrounds in Visual Basic or other programming languages will excel in this course.
