Attendance I recommend that you attend every class. Those who attend class have a better chance of passing the course. I will take attendance during each class.

Tutorials These will be implementations of examples that are covered in the book.

Late Policy for Tutorials Tutorials may not be handed in late. If they are one minute late, then they will not be graded.

Homework The homework asignments will be related. Each one will use details from the previous assignment. You must correct the previous assignment before handing in the succeeding assignment, if you don't want to lose more points for the same errors.

Late Policy for Homework Each homework may be submitted, with penalty, up to one day late. After that time, they will not be accepted. A late homework will lose 10% if it is submitted within 6 hours of the due time. It will lose an additional 10% for each additional period of 6 hours.

• Late up to 6 hours: -10%
• Late up to 12 hours: -20%
• Late up to 18 hours: -30%
• Late up to 24 hours: -40%
• Late more than 24 hours: no credit.

Working Together on the Homework is NOT ALLOWED. There is a large difference between discussing general aspects of the course and discussing specific aspects of a project. Do not discuss your solution of a problem with others. Do not share your solution with others.

For assignments that are too similar, an Academic Misconduct will be filed with the University. If the student does not have any prior Academic Misconducts, then an informal resolution can be granted which will result in the assignment being graded as a zero or at least one letter grade being deducted from the student's final grade, whichever penalty is more severe.

By registering for this course, all students have agreed to the University's Academic Integrity policy.

CODE OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

This Code of Academic Integrity was adopted by the Student Government Association on November 28, 2001 and reflects the values articulated in the Student Code of Standards. Florida International University is a community dedicated to generating and imparting knowledge through excellent teaching and research, the rigorous and respectful exchange of ideas, and community service. All students should respect the right of others to have an equitable opportunity to learn and honestly to demonstrate the quality of their learning. Therefore, all students are expected to adhere to a standard of academic conduct, which demonstrates respect for themselves, their fellow students, and the educational mission of Florida International University.

Pledge

As a student of this university:

• I will be honest in my academic endeavors.
• I will not represent someone else's work as my own.
• I will not cheat, nor will I aid in another's cheating.

All students are deemed by the University to understand that if they are found responsible for academic misconduct, they will be subject to the Academic Misconduct procedures and sanctions, as outlined in the Student Handbook. If you are looking at someone else's code or someone else is looking at your code, then you are working together.

In a nutshell, you will learn about both sides of the web - the browser side and the server side. You will learn enough HTML and CSS to create web pages that send data to the server and display the response. On the server side, you will create dynamic Java programs that will receive data from the browser, process the data, and send a response to the browser. You will also learn how to configure a web server. You will run your own copy of a web server and investigate the how to restrict access to your server. This course serves as an introduction to many topics. Hopefully, you will be inspired to explore many of these topics in more depth.

Course Objectives

• Be familiar with JSPs
• Master Servlets
• Master the design of basic web pages
• Be familiar with the use of CSS 1 style sheets
• Be familiar with the configuration of the Apache Web Server
