=== 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.

=== INT222 Progress Report ===

Before the next meeting, please think about the following question: What knowledge and skills should incoming students possess before starting your course? Some sample getting-started observations are below:
 
 
 
 
 
<u>Coming into INT222 / BTI220</u>
 
 
 
* Using software on a personal computer (which prepares them to use an editor, a browser, and a file transfer program)
 
* Proficiency in any code editor on any platform
 
* Conceptual knowledge of what a server is
 
* Conceptual knowledge of message-based protocols (i.e. request, response)
 
* Problem-solving abilities
 
* Good language comprehension (to be able to formulate a problem into a solution, or at least a solution approach)
 
 
 
 
 
<u>Coming into INT322 / BTI320</u>
 
 
 
( looking for help here... )
 
 
 
 
 
<u>Coming into INT422 / BTI420</u>
 
 
 
( some students know, and can do, some of these, but most couldn't, coming into Winter 2012 BTI420... )
 
 
 
* Conceptual knowledge of a request lifecycle
 
* HTTP knowledge basics
 
* Web site resource organization
 
* AuthN and AuthZ
 
* CSS (basics, layout, rules)
 
* JavaScript (anything!)
 
* Cookies
 
* Dev tools (i.e. F12, or Firebug-like tool)
 
* HTML (p, br, div, div, ul, li, input, etc.)
 
* Conceptual knowledge of page/document templates
 
* Server resources (request, response, file system, etc.)
 
* Nice-to-have - creating a navigation menu
