一、	課程說明 (Course Description)
<br>This course presents hands-on labs for students in the software aspect for 
<br>students to be familiar with software development process and techniques. The 
<br>class follows a mainstream aiming to build an intelligent web 2.0 application in 
<br>the cloud using popular platforms (e.g., Google App Engine) and open source 
<br>libraries (e.g., Apache Maven, ExtJS, Apache Lucene, etc.). 
<br>
<br>The class is divided into three parts, namely, the fundamentals, web 
<br>development, and web intelligence. In the fundamental part, a primer to some 
<br>important programming languages other than C/C++, such as Java, HTML/CSS, and 
<br>Javascript, will be given. We will highlight the concept of OOP and the 
<br>advantages of different languages to help student make correct decisions when 
<br>writing a big code. Handy tools such as Eclipse, CVS/SVN, will also be covered 
<br>to get students familiar with project-based and team-based development. In the 
<br>web development part, we will show the design alternatives of the architecture 
<br>of a web site and explain the modern way to implement web 2.0. Finally, to see 
<br>how the knowledge learned from the first two parts can be applied to solve real 
<br>problems, in the web intelligence part, we will go through a case study on how 
<br>to convert the raw web data into human-sensible intelligence.
<br>
<br>Basic understanding of C/C++ programming language and data structure is 
<br>required.
