CST 224 W - Introduction to Network Programming
Introduction to Network Programming provides hands-on programming experience to develop TCP/IP socket, CGI and ASP network programming applications. Students will develop programs for each type of network programming environment and explore the unique facets of each including input, output and coding requirements. Students will be provided several development environments (local, remote, Citrix) to configure and deliver their software applications to the end user. Students will also develop network and programming troubleshooting skills and use various debugging techniques that are necessary to ensure overall success.
