Students also learn how to analyze, modify, write and debug algorithms and documents that use a markup language.
- Prerequisite: None
CSE1220: Client-side Scripting 2
- Students deepen their understanding of Internet computing by using more advanced markup language techniques and by being introduced to one or more Web-specific scripting languages. As part of this process, students learn how the Web uses these resources as a means of displaying dynamic client-side information. Students learn how to analyze, modify, write and debug algorithms and scripts that use structured programming approaches.
- Prerequisite: None
CSE2210: Client-side Scripting 3
- Students add to their understanding of Internet scripting by employing procedural programming techniques and fundamental data structures to create both static and dynamic client-side sites. Students learn how to analyze, modify, write and debug algorithms and scripts that use subprograms such as functions and data structures such as arrays.
- Prerequisites: CSE1220: Client-side Scripting 2, CSE1120: Structured Programming 2
3D and 2D Design and Animation
COM2145: Animation 2
- Students explore the evolution of various animation styles and techniques (traditional and digital). Students apply planning, idea development and storytelling techniques to create an effective animation.
