Internet Essentials

Starting with the fall 2009 term, this course will be renumbered as ITC 1235.

Given today's vast databases and the access capabilities afforded by the Internet, understanding how to filter content properly is crucial to avoiding information overload. Students will cover tools, techniques, and technologies used to connect to the Internet, communicate electronically, and do business online. Topics include authoring, distributing, and browsing technologies; TCP/IP; client-server structures; Web/HTTP/HTML; Internet privacy and security, cookies, and viruses; information retrieval, World Wide Web (WWW), and file transfer protocol (FTP); and Internet transactions such as online banking, buying, and selling. The course is taught in state-of-the-art lab facilities. Students will learn basic HTML programming.
