Notes for PR655, by Dr Jan Pajak
PR655 course has 7 credits, or 70 learning hours. It extends for one
term, or a half of semester, means for 8 weeks in total. It represents
stage 2 (advanced) of client-side and server-side scripting in the JavaScript
programming language. It is composed of two parts. Part 1 mainly concentrates
on navigation between windows, DHTML, regular expressions, pattern
matching, and cascade style sheets. In turn part 2 concentrates on importinmg
and spidering web pages, reading disk files located on a server, and
connecting Microsoft “Access” Database. Both parts extend for 4 weeks each.
Course notes and example programs that I am presenting here are prepared
for a Microsoft "Mswebserver" and Internet Explorer.
