Goals


The primary goal of this class is to learn the fundamentals of relational database technologies and data management tools and practices for operational and analytical processes. Each project team will design and develop an enterprise-class data management application during the semester.


Team Projects


Small project teams will each design and develop a significant enterprise-class data management application throughout the semester. Weekly assignments will develop the technologies required by the projects.

Project rubrics

Example projects from previous semesters:

Software to install


Download and install XAMPP which will install and configure on your Mac, Windows, or Linux platform the following software packages:

You can download and install these packages separately, but then you'll have the hassle of configuring them to work nicely together.

Later in the semester, you will also download and install the Cisco Information Server (CIS) Studio application.
