ICT Internet Stream Update - Fall 2011

Attendees for Session 1: John Selmys, Emile Ohan, Anthony Austin, Danny Abesdris (Arroway), Peter Callaghan, Mary-Lynn Manton, Ian Tipson, Peter McIntyre, Praveen Mitera, Sunny Shi, Michal Heidenreich

Attendees for session 2: Emile John Sam Fardad S Peter M Jordan A Bob B Mary-Lynn Daniel Hodgin Chris T


ULI101

  • currently last 2 weeks of course is xhtml/css intro
    • consider removing web content (last 2 weeks), and not expand unix content in uli101
    • this should not affect int222 or int213

INT213

  • currently legacy asp
    • no changes
    • consider changing to asp.net

INT222

  • currently 1st half is xhtml/css, 2nd half is css/javascript
    • html5 replaces xhtml/javascript/css (Anthony has reservations)
    • need to manage the course depth - should not be another "killer" course
    • consider changing pre-req to IPC144 (Emile)
  • propose it now be HTML5 (including Javascript/DOM/CSS3)

INT322

  • currently 1st half perl, 2nd half is php with apache and mysql
    • remove perl and Apache admin and replace with more html5/ajax (not Anthony's opinion)
    • recommend perl and python as professional options
    • consider using a versioning system like git/svn (Fardad)
    • consider Python instead of PHP
  • propose it now be continuation of HTML5 from INT222 + PHP + Ajax

INT422

  • currently asp.net web forms and c# with intros to sql server and ajax
    • remove ajax
    • consider using a versioning system like git/svn (Fardad)

LETTERS (from faculty who could not attend)

NOTES from INT REVIEW in 2010

FINAL COMMENTS

  • should not be implemented in Jan 2012
  • should be implemented in May 2012
  • need more unix courses (Anthony, John)
  • all faculty should be given cell phones and tablets (except Ian)
  • all faculty should be given Mercedes (except Ian)


INT222 Outline Comments

The link below is a "version 1" proposal, listing the topics to be covered in a refreshed INT222 / BTI220 course.

I approached this task by simply listing all the topics that could be covered, without regard to sequencing, as I thought of them. Then, I grouped and sequenced them. Finally, I compared the result to the current course outlines, the comments of others, and a bit of research.

The document is available in PDF. This zenit server wouldn't permit me to upload a docx or doc file.

Proposal, version 1 - pdf

INT222 Progress Report
