This course introduces the students to the concepts of object oriented analysis and design. They will get the knowledge and the hands on experience to implement all the steps of an agile, iterative and incremental analysis and design process, from the planning and project management to the release and QA of the code. Use case documents are written to capture and analyze the requirements. The students will gain proficiency using Rational Rose and UML (Unified Modeling Language) to visually document the process. Design patterns, best practices, code generation and reverse engineering are used as a base for design and implementation. The course also introduces quality assurance concepts and the students will use automated software testing to create and execute test plans and test scripts.

Topics include basic and advanced JDBC, transactions, concurrency control, multi-tier architecture, Object Relational Mapping (ORM) with an overview of the Hibernate framework. Also discussed are: n-tier architecture with JEE. Students will learn to design and program Java database solutions for common business problems. Prerequisites: COMP 3621

COMP 4631 and COMP 3631 are being replaced by COMP 3641 as of September 2009. COMP 4631 will be offered one final time in January 2010 for those students who have already completed COMP 3631. Continuing from COMP 3631, this advanced six week course covers recent developments in JavaSever Page technology and is aimed at students who already know how to build Java Web Applications. Participants must have a working knowledge of Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP 2.0). Topics include: the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL), and the JSP Expression Language. JavaServer Faces technology is also examined to show how this server-side UI component framework is used to enhance client side development in detail from the design through to implementation. Participants will learn to use the LSTL API to develop advanced Java web applications. Prerequisites: COMP 3631 or MMSD 3630

This course has been replaced by COMP 4655 - Java EE Application Development as of November 2009. Formerly MMSD 4630 Introduction to JEE, this updated hands-on course shows experienced Java programmers and developers how to design and implement Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) applications that are Java 2 Enterprise Edition (JEE) compliant. Topics include: EJB component design, packaging and deployment, Session Beans, Entity Beans and the EJB query language. Participants learn to develop applications using messaging, message driven beans and how-to implement transactions and handle exceptions. Container managed persistence (CMP), container managed relationships (CMR) are also discussed. Students learn how to develop server-side components based on the business logic of an application, as well as implement security, integrate with legacy systems, use EJB technology best practices and apply data patterns to J2EE application design. Successful students are prepared to challenge the Sun Certified Business Component Developer (SCBCD) exam. Prerequisites: COMP 3621 and MMSD 3630

JavaScript is an open source client-side scripting language. Students in this intensive, hands-on workshop download and install several free, platform-independent tools and learn the theory behind client-side web scripting and interactive sites that use JavaScript to generate and manipulate a page's HTML and CSS. Topics include: cookies, debugging, dialog boxes, dynamic menus/tabs, form validation, object and plug-in detection, script tags, timers and animation, and window manipulation. Upon successful completion, participants will know how to write browser-independent code that meets official ECMA standards to use browser resources to change the contents of a web page dynamically. Prerequisites: COMP 1850

This intensive, hands-on workshop introduces AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML), which is a combination of existing technologies (JavaScript, HTML, CSS, DOM, XmlHttpRequest object, and a server-side scripting language such as PHP). This workshop shows how Web pages can work seamlessly with server-side scripts and data, asynchronously loading only portions of a Web page instead of reloading the entire page at once. The result is a quicker, lower-bandwidth-usage, and more seamless interaction with the user. Upon successful completion, participants will have learned to create and use the AJAX API, avoiding common mistakes and security problems in AJAX. Prerequisite: COMP 1911 or equivalent knowledge of JavaScript.

Java Practicum MMSD 4690, is being changed to a projects course and is now an elective in the Advanced Java Development program. Most of our students had elected to create a Java Web Application for the practicum and much of that material is already covered in COMP 3631, Java Web Applications and COMP 4631, Advanced Java Web Applications. As of this time we are designing an industry sponsored Java Project for delivery in 2008. Prior to that time, please choose another elective to complete the program. Prerequisites: COMP 4631
