No previous programming experience is assumed. A series of guided experiences will illustrate the fundamentals of JavaScript. An introduction to Java will focus on creating Applets.
Fundamental Web Tasks with Perl and CGI* 10 sessions-Weekdays, 4-7 PM, July 6-July 19, 2000 (3 cr) Instructor: Mel Oyler, School of Library and Information Science, UW
Perl is the most common programming language used on the Web, and the preferred tool to use with many legacy systems. This course introduces Perl for the non-programmer. CGI is a set of routines that permit you to create HTML on the fly, write and process fill-out forms, image maps, store and process cookies, and many other web tasks.
Architecting a Website* 10 sessions-Weekdays, 4-7 PM, July 24-August 4, 2000 (3 cr.) Instructor: Gerrit Nyland, School of Library and Information Science, UW
Static HTML is awkward for indexing and updating. This course presents strategies for storing Web content outside of HTML (using XML, data-basing the content, or some other approach). The class will also build a data-based content publishing tool, with a website to browse and search the content. An administrative interface will allow content producers to publish their content without writing HTML.

Front Office products can be used to create powerful, customized applications. This course teaches students to plan, design, develop, test and deploy templates, add-ins, macros, and wizards to meet specific work product standards and formats. Students will be able to utilize the full functionality of Front Office to meet the needs of ongoing workgroups such as a project team or department.
All classes listed above will meet on the University of Washington campus. For additional information concerning the Summer Technology Institute or the Certificate Program in Web Site Development, call 206-695-6503, 800-543-2320, or email certif2@u.washington.edu.
