Changes To CST 252 Web Development and Design II
As technology trends are ever-changing - especially on the net, so too must the content in our classes. We have integrated AJAX and Web 2.0 concepts into CST 252 Web Development and Design II. These technologies are the skills employers are demanding. Students will learn how these technologies integrate into the net landscape as well as how to write their own Web 2.0 programs. With the release of Apple's iPhone, Web 2.0 is positioned to become the development platform of choice.

Microsoft Access and Front Page added to MSDNAA

The Computer Science department can now give you copies of Microsoft Access 2003 and Front Page 2003 - and it's all perfectly legal! As part of our participation in the Microsoft Solution Developers Academic Alliance, the CS department can give registered CS students copies of almost all of the software that Microsoft offers. In short, we can get you the software you need to complete your assignments. Contact Professor Charles Hornung at 203-857-6891 or via e-mail at chornung@ncc.commnet.edu for more information.

Testing Out of CSA 105
(Introduction to Software Applications)

CSA 105 is a requirement in your major.

But, you think you already know the MS Office products Word, Excel and PowerPoint. You use them everyday at work or at home.

If you can prove your expertise in these applications by passing a test administered by the Testing Center, you will not have to take CSA 105 and you will still receive the three credits that this course carries. The cost of the test is $30.00.

You must fill out a "Credit by Examination" form, discuss it with the coordinator for your program, and contact the Testing Center to schedule an appointment to take this test. The Testing Center’s number is 857-7070.

Get Your Networking Certificate In One Year

One of the complaints we've heard about our Networking Certificate is that it takes too long - two years - to complete. In an effort to address your needs, we are excited to offer our Networking classes as accelerated hybrids this fall. What does that mean? It means that you can now take Networking I and II this fall and Networking III and IV next semester and earn your certificate in just 10 months. In addition, at the end of the 10 months you will be prepared to take the Cisco Certified Network Associate exam - the industry standard. In short, you'll still learn all you need to know to become a network engineer - you'll just do it faster! Contact Professor Patrick Cassidy for more information at 203-857-7336 or via e-mail at pcassidy@ncc.commnet.edu.


NCC Upgrades To Oracle 11g

We've migrated our database classes to Oracle 11g - the industry leader in databases. Oracle 11g offers many benefits over previous editions including better forms, an interactive, web-based interface, and more development tools. All of our Database Development classes will use Oracle 11g starting this fall. Contact Professor Charles Hornung at 203-857-6891 or via e-mail at chornung@ncc.commnet.edu for details.
