Certificate Program
Course Description and Prerequisites:
This accelerated learning experience gives students a comprehensive knowledge of the client/server environment. Working hands-on, students learn client/server architecture fundamentals, relational database analysis and design, and network communications systems. They learn to use key software tools to develop applications in a client/server environment.
Students must have some previous programming experience to enroll in this class.
Module Overviews:
Module 1: Designing Graphical User Interfaces
In this module, students will learn the fundamentals of GUI design by using VB.NET’s event-driven programming model to create several small applications for the Windows environment. VB.NET will be used to design, layout and implement screen controls, menus and graphical objects. Programming techniques such as logic flow and input validation, as well as general GUI guidelines will be discussed.
Module 2: Building Database Applications With VB.NET
In this module, students will build the Graphical Interface to a Client/Server application
that communicates with a relational database. Students will build data-centric solutions using VB.NET with.
These skills will be implemented in the creation of several applications that retrieve and modify data from
the database.
Module 3: Advanced VB.NET
Students will learn more advanced VB.NET concepts such as, implementing Object-Oriented Design (OOD)
using class modules for business logic, and a discussion of the Component Object Model (COM).
Module 4: Client/Server Database and Application Development Workshop
Students will finalize their Client/Server application development project. They will then develop,
test, and implement the Client/Server application. This workshop encompasses all aspects of Client/Server
application development. Students will have analyzed, designed and developed an Oracle database to support
the data model required by the Client/Server application. They will use VB.NET to design and develop the GUI
application that supports the Oracle database for the Client/Server application. At the end of the workshop,
each team of students will present their Client/Server application to the instructor and the rest of the class
for evaluation and feedback.
