  1. Databases& Webcentric-programmingRW 334Introduction Willem Visserwillem@gmail.com or visserw@sun.ac.za RM A517 Computer Science Stellenbosch University

  2. Always a New Journey • Fourth year for this course • A journey of discovery • For you and me  • Two parts with overlap in the middle • DB for Week 1 through 7 • Webcentric Programming Week 9 through 14 • DBs is kind of stable but the Web changes everything, including this course!!

  3. Format • 3 Lectures all in A407 Main Engineering • Monday: 10am • Tuesday: 8am • Friday: 11am • 1 Tutorial in NARGA B (or @Home) • Wednesday: 2pm – 4pm • Starting 5 Feb

  4. Continuous Evaluation • (Random) Class Tests 40% • Tutorial exercises 30% • Project 25% • Participation/Puzzles 5%

  5. Example Puzzle 1 2 3 One box contains a CAR and one box contains a KEY for it (not the same box).You cannot see in the boxes! Two players must decide on a strategy to maximize their chances to win the CAR You win when both players pick two boxes and when opened upPLAYER 1 finds the CAR in one of her boxesPLAYER 2 finds the KEY in one of her boxes Question is what is your strategy for picking and what is the chance for winning

  6. Course OutcomeDatabases • Design a Relational Database • Efficiently and Correctly • Entity-Relation Modeling • Know the basics of SQL • Practical Experience using MySQL • Know how to access MySQL from Java code • Get to know modern database structures and usages • Distributed Databases, Map-Reduce, etc. • NoSQL

  7. Course OutcomeWeb-Programming • Learn the fundamentals of the Web • IP, HTTP, HTML, XML, etc. • How to build a website with • Google Web Toolkit (GWT) • Google App Engine • Cloud and Mobile Computing • How to scale a website • How to test a website

  8. Entrepreneurship • Worked very well in the past • Last week of the course • Might get a guest lecturer in this time as well

  9. TeachingAssistant Build a system to allow a teacher to ask Foundation Phase (Gr1-3)style questions to students via a mobile phone interface. Teacher sets the questions via a Web-interface and deploys to the students, who cananswer on their phones. Live answers are displayed on the teachersinterface to track progress and to see who needs help. These are the basic requirements what you do on top of that is up to you. The mobile interface is required to work for Android. For the extra mile you can implement DragonBox-style questions too. • This year, for the first time, NO restrictions on the technology!!! • Teams!

  10. We will not use a handbook However some of the early material willbe from this book… Database Systems Design, Implementation & ManagementInternational Edition Rob, Coronel and Crockett
