General Content:	The first part of the course will focus on some of the Java background you should have in order to work with JSPs. The primary focus of the course will be on Servlets and JSPs as middleware for web database application development. We will also work with the JDBC in order to connect to databases in our efforts. I will largely develop some templates that illustrate the major issues.
Evaluation:	- 75% of your grade will be based on homework assignments. All of the problems need be turned in individually. On the other hand, you are expected to work together to develop your solutions. Each homework assignment will be graded on a 100 point scale. They will be due at the beginning of the class period on the day they are due. If you turn a homework assignment in late within a day of the due date you will lose 5 points. If you turn it in late within 3 days of the due date you will lose 10 points. Anything turned in later than 3 days but still within a week will result in an automatic loss of 15 points. Finally, anything more than a week late will result in an automatic loss of 25 points. - 25% of your grade will be based on developing a project to do some computer system performance evaluation. You will want to e-mail your solutions to me by the date and time they are due. Any written discussion should be placed in a Word file and attached/inserted. You will also attach/insert things such as forms and projects to your e-mail.
