Abstract

Web programming and e-commerce are exciting topics to explore in the classroom. Needing a replacement for an aging COBOL course sequence, we undertook the design and implementation of a web programming course sequence. At the most general level we wanted our students to be able to competently design and implement n-tier web-based business applications. Our solution involved the use of popular open source software including Linux, Apache, Perl, PHP, JavaScript, and MySQL. To support the teaching of this software, we set up our own Internet accessible Linux server, becoming a small-scale web hosting operation. Each student was provided with their own Linux account complete with a private home directory, private database account, and public web page area. This paper will discuss details of these courses. In addition, we look at some of the configuration and system administration issues involved in supporting web programming courses.
