Suggested Syllabus for a One Semester Applications Oriented Course

line separator

The following syllabus is designed for a course where the goal is to teach students how to use databases to construct applications.
Details of database internals are kept to the minimum.

  • Chapters
  • Assignments/Project

  • The course should be supplemented by assignments and a project. The assignments are to get students familiar with
    using databases, running queries and using application development tools.

    The project could involve the design of a schema for a realistic application, and the implementation of the entire application
    using SQL and language/APIs such as Java servlets/JSP, C# ASP, or PHP. See Chapter 9 for some suggestions on project topics.
