4 Course Content Unit Topics Assessments Resources 1. Overview of Operating System Concepts Describe major components of a typical modern computer Navigate the X Windows environment The Unix Design Philosophy Use command line help commands such as help, man, which, file, whereis, locate, info and apropos. 2. Edit Files Students were introduced to the vim developers editor in TECH153. All editing in this course will be done in vim. As part of this course various vim commands and macros will be introduced as needed to increase the student s facility with this tool. 3. Files and Directory Organization Describe directory and file hierarchies. Use the stat and ls commands to show the properties of a file. Define root directory, pathname, working directory, permission bits, and inode value. Manage directories and files using mkdir, rmdir, rm, cp, mv and rm. Use of shell patters *,?, [ ] and { } to expand references to file names Create symbolic and hard linked files and describe the underlying implementation using paths or inodes. Use the file and type commands to determine the type of a file. Observe the effect of various commands on the ctime, mtime and atime of a file and the directory in which it appears Recognize and print printable files.

5 Unit Topics Assessments Resources 4. Security Use of chmod to set read, write and execute permissions on files and directories using both symbolic and octal forms Use of umask to set default permissions, using both symbolic and octal forms Use of chgrp and newgroup to create files with different group ownership Use chmod to make web pages visible on the Internet. Use of setfacl and getfacl to set individual and group access for specific files 5. Regular Expressions Regular expressions a common mechanism used to automatically search for and replace text. Students will: Use *, +, ^, $, {n,m}, [list],[^list], (pattern1 pattern2), <word> to search for text using grep. Use the same patterns to search and replace patterns found using the vim editor. Use the same patterns to replace text using sed. (Coverage of sed will be limited to the use of regular expressions.) 6. UNIX Commands and Utilities I Describe the operation of basic Unix commands such as: date, who, man, ls, cat, echo, printf, cd, pwd and finger Describe the use of shell metacharacters such as: *,?, [ ], ( ), (( )), {},, >, >>, <, <<, &, ;, :, && and. Define standard input, standard output, standard error, pipes and filters. Control multiple processes and jobs using commands such as: ps, &, wait, kill, fg, bg, jobs. Create new command names using alias. Reorder records by specified fields using the sort command and use uniq to count and remove duplicate records from a file. An emphasis will be placed on the different representations of time used in Unix through the use of time zones (/usr/share/zoneinfo), date format codes and the difference between elapsed, system and compute times.

6 Unit Topics Assessments Resources 7. Unix Commands and Utilities II Patterns and Text Manipulation Generate and interpret output from the who, ps, date and last commands Use the cut command to extract information from files either by character or by delimited fields. Use head and tail to extract lines from a file. Use grep to extract lines matched by pattern from a file (These same patterns will be tested within vim.) Use the sed editor to extract data either matched by line numbers or patterns from a file Use paste to join files vertically. Use the find command to search for files based on properties such as name. Build a pipeline of commands using so that the output of one command is the input of the next. (filter programs) Duplicate the output of a command using the tee command and direct the output to other files or other processes using >(process) 8. Unix Shell Environment Name different shells available for UNIX including: sh, csh, ksh, bash. Describe the use of shell environment variables such as: HOME, PATH, CDPATH, TERM, RANDOM, and PS1-4. Create and use local variables. Configure and use the hidden file.bashrc to set up a user environment Understand the purpose of each of the 4 quote symbols: single quote, backquote, double quote and backslash Use the export command to distinguish between local and exported variables Employ subshells as temporary/experimental environments.

7 Unit Topics Assessments Resources 9. Shell Scripts Create simple shell scripts and make them executable. Pass parameters to shell scripts. Create local and exported functions Use control statements such as if and while Employ test conditions on files such as -z, -e, -x, -r and -w Use arithmetic operations with shell variables, including the use of (( )), let and bc. Use mktemp to create a temporary file to store intermediate results. Debug shell scripts. 10. HTML Formatting Prepare and publish a Web page for viewing with a browser that uses HTML commands to control colour, font, images, http links and protocols such as mailto. Use tags such as <b>, <i>, <strike>,<u>, <mark> and <p> to markup text Use <pre> to disable compression of whitespace Create ordered and unordered lists Create tables using <table>, <tr>, <th> and <td> tags Explain the syntax of regular and singleton HTML tags Explain the syntax of URLs 11. Semantic Markup Use semantic tags such as <abbr>, <address>, <cite>, <div>,<em>, <h1-6> <p>, <quote>, and <span> in a context appropriate to their meaning Prepare web pages appropriately with new HTML tags such as <article>, <nav>, <section>, <aside> and <footer> Define new semantic tags of their own

8 Unit Topics Assessments Resources 12. CSS Formatting Work with rgb values to assign colour Set text properties such as font, size and text-decoration Use the box model to position text and other objects Position text relative to the page margins Use display properties such as none, block and inline 13. HTML Forms Create data entry forms using a variety of input types Determine whether using GET or PUT method is appropriate 14. Use of CGI and JSP Write a simple CGI script that echoes values from a web form Implement a CGI script as a C program Write a simple JSP program that echoes individual values from a web form Introduction to JavaScript and JQuery Insert JavaScript consisting of simple alert, 15. confirm or input dialogs at an inline, in document or external level. Use JQuery and CSS selectors to dynamically set properties of tags and groups of tags in a document. Please note: this course schedule may change as resources and circumstances require. Student Evaluations The following is the suggested evaluation scheme for this course. If the evaluation is changed, the course instructor will provide the student with a written revised evaluation procedure. Activity Weighting Labs/Assignments 40% Midterm Test 25% Final Test 35% Total 100%

9 In addition to meeting all program specific course and credit requirements, students must have a Cumulative Program Grade Point Average (CPGPA) of 60 in order to be eligible for graduation. As a college student, you are responsible for attendance, punctuality, and facilitating a positive and productive learning environment. There is a strong connection or relationship between attendance and grades: higher grades are associated with regular class attendance. Note: Attendance for labs is mandatory. Late assignments are subject to a reduction in the grade earned. Barring extraordinary circumstances such as for which documentation may be required, late penalties are 5% for assignments received later the same day and 10% per day. Students are expected to complete all assignments and write all tests/exams during the normally scheduled dates and times. A passing grade for this course is 50%. To get an overall passing grade in this course, students must independently pass the Tests and the Labs/Assignments portions of the course. If one or more of these sections is less than 50% then the final grade for the course will be the lower of the two marks. Policies and Procedures It is the student s responsibility to be aware of the College Academic Regulations which can be found on the following website: Academic Integrity Academic integrity is essentially honesty in all academic endeavors. Academic integrity requires that students avoid all forms of academic misconduct or dishonesty, including plagiarism, cheating on tests or exams or any misrepresentation of academic accomplishment. Research Activity This course does not include any research activities that involve human participants. Students will gather data ONLY from publicly available sources.

10 Academic Concern/Appeals If a student has questions or concerns regarding a grade on an assignment or test, the student should discuss the matter with the faculty member. The Program Co-ordinator and/or the Associate Dean may be asked to assist if the faculty member and student are unable to resolve issues. For additional information please refer to Section 13 of College s Academic Complaint and Appeal Policy at the web site identified above. Prior Learning Assessment Recognition (PLAR) Course credits may be granted in recognition of prior learning, and that Application for Consideration is made through the Office of the Registrar at PLAR assessment will be done using a combination of interview, challenge exam and skills test.
