4. 4 Learn basis of programming and algorithms –C Language Learn how to do a basic web page –HTML / CSS –Design with Photoshop and Flash Learn what is DataBase and how to use Learn the different steps of a development project –Basic of analysis –Functional tests Develop students’ autonomy: Self-learning –Critical quality for a developer First Year

5. 5 Learn basis of programming and algorithms C Language –Can do:  Can do small and medium application with C language  Understand clearly with algorithms to deal with problem –Difficulties:  Don’t understand with C language  The first programing language to learn. First Year

6. 6 Learn how to do a basic web page –HTML / CSS –Design with Photoshop and Flash –HTML :  Create static website/ web template  Edit template (UI) for customer  Create with standard HTML code  Example: http://soungeng.zzl.org/http://soungeng.zzl.org/ –Photoshop and Flash Can do with Photoshop  Designing template, banner, label, logo, leaflet, broacher,… Can do with Flash  Flash banner, logo animation, welcome page animation, advertising block in web,... First Year

7. 7 Learn what is DataBase and how to use What is a DataBase ? –Used to store data from applications –Example: A forum  When a user post a message, we need to store it  Need to retrieve the messages to display to the users  The application needs also to store users’ information (login, password, nickname, photo…) –Advantages  Storing and retrieving data may be complex, so it is difficult to do it by ourselves  A DataBase do it with good performance  A DataBase can be accessed by multiple users First Year

8. 8 What a student can do with Database ?  Analysis database with ER modeling  Create small and medium database system  Can covert from physical to logical database, and logical to physical database.  Create application with VBA language. First Year

9. 9 Learn the different steps of a development project –Basic of analysis –Functional tests  They will be a tester or user that use the black box system to find the bug or error.  Report bug error to developer or manager.  Use the document testing to test by follow stops First Year

10. 10 Develop students’ autonomy: Self-learning –Critical quality for a developer  Technology is evolving quickly  When we develop a web site or an application, we do not do everything, instead we use things developed by other people  A developer must be able to quickly learn how to use it  With Internet many things are shared, and the things a company is using change often from one company to another  A developer does not need to know all technologies (there are so many..), but he must be able to learn a new one easily First Year

11. 11 Learn basis of programming and algorithms –C Language Learn how to do a basic web page –HTML / CSS –Design with Photoshop and Flash Learn what is DataBase and how to use Learn the different steps of a development project –Basic of analysis –Functional tests Develop students’ autonomy: Self-learning –Critical quality for a developer First Year

12. 12 What a student can do during his 1rst internship ?  Apps with access (VBA)  Small apps with C programming  Tester & bugging report  Design template  Web page with animation  problem solving  Prototype graphic diagram  Database analysis First Year

13. 13 Continue do develop student’s autonomy Learn about tools we use to work in team Learn Object-Oriented programming with Java Learn several technologies to build web sites or web applications Virtual Company Second Year

14. 14 Learn about tools we use to work in team –Eclipse and Visual Studio  Programming application –Bug Tracking System  Used to follow issues between customer/tester/developer  Similar to HelpDesk –SVN: Version Control System  Used when several developers are working on the same files Second Year

15. 15 Learn Object-Oriented programming with Java –Explaining what is OOP is out of scope of this presentation –Why Java ?  Widely used to develop desktop applications, but can also be used for web development  Easy language to learn OOP –Why to learn OOP ?  Almost all the recent languages are OOP

16. 16 Learn several technologies to build web sites or web applications A web application is usually composed of 3 elements: Second Year Client (like FireFox) Server DataBase Store and retrieve data Ask for web pages

17. 17 Client: Language HTML –All web pages are using HTML –Basic scenario:  You go to a web site  FireFox asks the server for the HTML file of the web site  FireFox displays the page  You click on a link  FireFox asks the server for the HTML file corresponding to the link  … Second Year

18. 18 Client: Language JavaScript –In previous scenario, each time the user does an action, the browser asks the server for a new page –New scenario: you are on cistrain.org and you put the mouse on a menu, the menu is displayed  In this case, if the browser asks a new page it will be very slow and not nice for the user  For this we need to modify the web page directly in the browser, without interaction with the server  This is done with JavaScript  JavaScript program can be embedded in HTML page Second Year

19. 19 Client: Language JavaScript –Because we don’t want to do the same things all the time, we use frameworks containing programs to do common things  Display a menu  Display a popup window  … –Our students learn the framework JQuery  Widely used Second Year

20. 20 Server –In previous scenario, the server only stores HTML files, and send them to the client on demand  It means the web page is always the same –Very often, the content of a web page depends on several parameters:  The access rights of a user  In a forum, a user which is not logged can see the messages, but not post a new message  Data  In a forum home page, the content of the page contains all the discussions, so each time a new discussion is started the content of the page changed –This is why we need, on the server side, to build web pages depending on the different parameters Second Year

21. 21 Server –It means, on the server, we do not have web pages directly stored, but for each page we have a small program capable to create the web page –Those programs can access to a DataBase to retrieve data and use them in the web page –Different languages  PHP: free, widely used because simple, efficient and do not need to install a lot of things to work  ASP.NET: licensed, more complex, more adapted for large applications, better performance  JSP: works with Java language, usually used when the server works with Java applications Second Year

22. 22 Server: what can do our students ? –Develop web sites or web applications with PHP and MySQL DataBase They can develop dynamic website/web apps connect with MySQL database, for several kind of website such as personal web, form web entertainment web, web apps, etc.. Ex: http://icommunity.t15.org create by Mr. Ekk sanghahttp://icommunity.t15.org Second Year

23. 23 Server: what can do our students ? –Develop web applications with ASP.NET and C# Dynamic website or desktop apps that use asp.net with C# connection with database Ms SQL server. Second Year

24. 24 Server: what can do our students ? –Develop web sites with CMS –What is CMS ?  Content Management System  Students know Joomla and WordPress  Widely used, they are using PHP language Ex: –Student develop website in high level like create component, module, template – Deployment and configuration Second Year

25. 25 Virtual Company –Group exercise: very important to work in team  Use tools  Experiment repartition of tasks  Evaluation of the time needed to do a task –With virtual customer  Experiment relation with customer  How to explain technical choices  How to explain what is possible/not possible with allocated time  How to make the customer happy –Learn by doing mistakes  The goal of this exercise is not that everything is going well  We want students make mistakes –Presentation at the end of the project

26. 26 What a student can do during 2 nd internship ? –Create web dynamic and standard UI (PHP, C#.Net, …) –CMS development (Joomla, Wordpress, Typo3…) –Tool for development in term (SVN…) –Self learning skill –Software development lifecycle –Web/Apps designing UI –Web animation –Desktop Apps, Mobile apps

27. 27 Difficulties: –Communication –Learning New technology –Problem solving –Networking skill –No job to do Difficulties the students meet

28. What they usually like the most What they like: –Web apps than desktop apps –Web developer with CMS –Developer and tester Copyright © 2007 - CIST 28

29. 29 Comparison with previous batches we found that it need far different to each other. For the new generation not so many problem with new technology when they go to company. Comparison with previous batches
