Why Study Computer Science/Computer Information Science at La Salle?
La Salle’s B.S. in Computer Science to M.S. in Computer Information Science program offers an accelerated pathway for students to earn both degrees in five years, preparing them for successful careers in a rapidly growing field.
This course addresses the design and development of standards-based client interfaces for Web applications. The course includes Web-based standards and tool sets that support these standards. Application development emphasizes client Web interface scripting to serve as a general introduction to computer programming. The specific tool set used will depend on the types of interfaces to be developed, considering technology trends. Examples of possible tools include XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This course may be waived if the student has prior experience in client interface development.
CIS 626: Web Services Development
This course focuses on the development of Web services for use by many different types of Web applications. The course develops basic programming techniques to implement the server side function of the application. The course uses a non-Windows interface for the tools set.
CIS 629: Mobile Development
This course covers development of mobile applications and integration with existing systems on the devices. Students will extend development of mobile solutions with enhancements to views, layouts, and intents including interaction with the location-based services, messaging services, multimedia interfaces, and sensors available on the mobile device. The applications will manage data sources, both locally and from database providers. The applications will be tested in an emulation environment and prepared for deployment in a mobile marketplace.
