Textbook and Software

The textbook used in CET 4427 will be useful for this course, however it is not a required text, and I do not follow the text. If you have it from CET 4427 and you plan to sell it back, it is worthwhile to wait until after you complete this course. If you do not have the text, then there is no real purpose in purchasing it for this course.

We use a lot of software in this class. You will need to get a department account for Microsoft ELMS for some of the software. Most of the primary software is available through Micrsoft DreamSpark . In addition you may choose to use PHP for some assignments ( Available at http://php.net/downloads.php ) and MySQL for database work (available at http://www.mysql.com/ ). The UCF ELMS Site with access to all Microsoft software is at http://msdn02.e-academy.com/elms/Storefront/Home.aspx?campus=ucf_engtech . COntact Larry Bales for an account - be sure to include your NID and the course you are requesting access for. (Lbales@mail.ucf.edu )
