Abstract

Web programming and e-commerce are popular topics, but it is not clear how they should be supported in an undergraduate computer science curriculum. This paper presents experience with a course that used Java and Perl/CGI to provide some fundamentals for web programming, and plans for a related upcoming course that should cover material more efficiently and provide fundamentals for e-commerce. Topics covered in the course are compared to skills required for e-commerce as described by Ge and Sun [Ge and Sun 2000].
