ULI101
- currently last 2 weeks of course is xhtml/css intro
- consider removing web content (last 2 weeks), and not expand unix content in uli101
- this should not affect int222 or int213
INT213
- currently legacy asp
- no changes
- consider changing to asp.net
INT222
- currently 1st half is xhtml/css, 2nd half is css/javascript
- html5 replaces xhtml/javascript/css (Anthony has reservations)
- need to manage the course depth - should not be another "killer" course
- consider changing pre-req to IPC144 (Emile)
- propose it now be HTML5 (including Javascript/DOM/CSS3)
INT322
- currently 1st half perl, 2nd half is php with apache and mysql
- remove perl and Apache admin and replace with more html5/ajax (not Anthony's opinion)
- recommend perl and python as professional options
- consider using a versioning system like git/svn (Fardad)
- consider Python instead of PHP
- propose it now be continuation of HTML5 from INT222 + PHP + Ajax
INT422
- currently asp.net web forms and c# with intros to sql server and ajax
- remove ajax
- consider using a versioning system like git/svn (Fardad)
LETTERS (from faculty who could not attend)

- Timothy Mckenna's Internet Stream Update Comments
- John Samuel's additional comments
NOTES from INT REVIEW in 2010
- Here's a [link to last year's review] of our INTERNET stream.
FINAL COMMENTS
- should not be implemented in Jan 2012
- should be implemented in May 2012
- need more unix courses (Anthony, John)
- all faculty should be given cell phones and tablets (except Ian)
- all faculty should be given Mercedes (except Ian)
INT222 Outline Comments
The link below is a "version 1" proposal, listing the topics to be covered in a refreshed INT222 / BTI220 course.
I approached this task by simply listing all the topics that could be covered, without regard to sequencing, as I thought of them. Then, I grouped and sequenced them. Finally, I compared the result to the current course outlines, the comments of others, and a bit of research.
The document is available in PDF. This zenit server wouldn't permit me to upload a docx or doc file.
