PRINCETON ACM / IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY CHAPTERS
SPRING 1998 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR

Building Interactive Web Sites

Saturday, April 25, 1998
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Sarnoff Corporation Auditorium, Princeton, NJ
Cost: $90 (Princeton ACM/IEEE-CS members), $100 (non-members)

The World Wide Web has changed the way people think about computers and the way information is shared. It has popularized the Internet and along the way become a great equalizer. Now anyone with a basic understanding of the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the lingua franca of the Web, can put together seemingly sophisticated Web sites without making huge investments of time or money.

Of course, not only has HTML become somewhat more sophisticated since its inception, but entirely new technologies have been developed to be used along with it. These technologies include Common Gateway Interface (CGI -- actually as ``old'' as HTML), JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets, streaming audio, and streaming video. Such technologies serve to enhance the user experience either by enabling more sophisticated user interaction, by enabling more consistent information presentation, or by increasing the forms in which the information can be presented.

This seminar provides an introduction to many Web technologies and shows how those technologies can be used to create personal (or business) web sites. The course includes the following topics:

This seminar is geared toward people who have an understanding of scripting, computer, or markup languages. Previous hands-on experience is not required. Some parts of the course may be slightly more technical, but all who attend will leave with the ability to create web pages.

Jeffrey Esakov (jesakov@ACM.org) is a Member of the Technical Staff at Sarnoff Corporation (formerly David Sarnoff Research Center). He has a MS from the University of Illinois and has done additional work towards his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. At Sarnoff, he has led a team that developed tools for Web-based distance education. He has been utilizing the resources available on the Internet long before it became cool to do so and contributed to the development of the original Plainsboro.COM web site.
