The rapid growth of the Internet was fueled by invention of the World
Wide
Web (WWW) protocols. Universities, government agencies, small and
large companies, and individuals quickly adapted it for a wide variety
of
services, including marketing. At the same time, corporations and other
organizations realized that the open communication protocols developed
for the Internet could be used for proprietary corporate intranets,
which are
now used for communication within organizations (distributing
information
and collaboration support), as well as with stakeholders (suppliers and
customers).
This course describes how the internet and/or an intranet can help you
and
your organization. It covers the hardware, software, and services
needed to establish server, ISP, and connectivity options; server
management and maintenance options; security issues; and application
design and
implementation from basic HTML to advanced applications that interact
with databases and other programs running on your Web server. About
half the
course is spend on hands-on exercises in the lab; installing and
configuring
server software and building options.
The course should enable participants to:
o Become familiar with Internets/Intranets and their benefits
o Learn the basics of HTML markup and scripting
o Design and build a home page;
o Learn about advanced features including database access and
Java
o Install and configure a Web server;
o Evaluate connectivity choices and service providers
o Understand the relative positions of Microsoft,
Netscape, and
other players
o Glimpse the future of HTTP, HTML, VRML, and other protocols.
