About CS403
- Course Goals:
- CS403 (Weaving The Web) is an introductory course covering basic topics relating to the Internet. Subjects discussed include e-mail, newsgroups, mailing lists, file transfer, telnet, the World Wide Web, Web browsers, search engines, and extensible hypertext markup language (XHTML). A large portion of this course focuses on Web publishing. Security and privacy issues, and commerce and legal issues are also discussed. Students are expected to have no previous experience with XHTML. They will acquire new skills as well as broad understanding of the technical possibilities of living and working in an online society and its implications. Prior to Fall 2008 this course was called Online Network Exploration.
