CIS 700 Emerging Technologies - Summer II, 2008
Class will meet in Windows lab Moore 100B, MW 6-9pm. Maximum class size: 28.
What are the prerequisites? You should be a reasonably good programmer in some (any) language. There may be programming projects required in two or three different languages, and I don't want to have to explain what a "loop" is. You may be asked to purchase a web hosting service for the duration of the course.
What will the workload be? As with all computer science courses, the workload will be moderately heavy. However, I am _not_ planning to squeeze a full 15-week semester's work into six weeks! We might try to squeeze in as much as 8 weeks' worth, though. :)
Who is teaching the course? Pat Palmer ( pgpalmer@seas.upenn.edu ) will teach the course. There may be other speakers.
What will the course cover? An "emerging technology" is one that, in the admittedly limited purview of the instructor, has either recently become prominent, or is about to do so. As I lack perfect precognition, I reserve the right to change topics at the last minute.
Here were the topics covered last year: Wikis (pmWiki) Ruby Rails Ajax Social Networking (Second Life)
Here are the meeting dates:
