Introduction to the use of the computer in the home and office. Computer literacy. Word processing, database systems, and spreadsheets. Examination and evaluation of computer peripherals and software for personal computers.

Overview of full-stack implementation of large scale web applications. Team-based software development methodologies, tools and practice. Introduction to modern HTML, CSS. Separation of structure, style and behavior. JavaScript, dynamic types, functional programming, prototypal classes, and closures. HTTP client-server communication, synchronous and asynchronous communication. Java Server Pages, simple database creation, programmatic queries and updates.

Primary objective of this course is to provide the student with the experience of working in a fast-track development environment that requires a shifting balance between collaboration and autonomy. The student will be exposed to a wide range of software tooling across multiple eras of computing history. The student should plan for a considerable amount of focused attention outside of the classroom to complete assignments. Online resources will be provided for all lecture topics. You will get more out of the course if you have experience with some larger development projects, for example, through internships, or open-source contributions.

Distributed and object-oriented databases. After successful completion of this course, students will have achieved proficiency in data modeling use the Entity-Relationship Model, Relational Database Design Techniques, Basic and Intermediate SQL query creation, and Database access techniques from current programming languages.

These materials include background for the instructor and a lab that engages student in an analysis of global inequality while learning and using the R language (a programming language for statistics). Students obtain data on the US and two other countries (one more developed and one less developed).

These materials include background for the instructor and a lab that engages student in an analysis of global inequality while learning and using the R language (a programming language for statistics). Students ultimately write a function to access country level data from the CIA World Factbook.

The Essential Aspects of Physical Implementation and Design of Relational Databases discusses the physical design and implementation of relational databases — the two phases in building of databases that often do not get enough attention in textbooks on database design and management. The goal of this book is to give students a solid foundation on how to combine data design and the functionality of today’s DBMS to achieve the most effective database and database applications. It provides illustration of essential aspects of physical design and implementation of relational databases with simple examples of real-world business problems. The book includes coverage of Physical Design, Distributed Database Design, Database Security, Database Query Processing and Performance, Transaction Management and Database Recovery. The book is based on the database program taught at the New York City College of Technology.

The Digital Tool Box for Teaching and Scholarship, created by Brooklyn College Library's OER Developers, is dedicated to exploring and evaluating some of the many digital tools available on the web. We will explore various tools, discussing how they can be used in classrooms as learning objects and will also provide links to interesting and exciting projects where they are used. This toolbox will also touch on accessibility in digital scholarship and creation. Since this toolbox is part of the CUNY and SUNY 2017-19 Open Educational Resources Initiative, we are committing to present tools which are openly available.

This video introduces the Group Wiki Project in CUNY SPS COM 110: Digital Literacy. This project runs from Weeks 12-15. However, students have to begin brainstorming subtopics in Weeks 10-11. With this video, they will be able to quickly see how the project is laid out and get an introduction to it.

The purpose of this tutorial is to provide a very basic introduction to implementing three simple research designs using the simsem package in R. R is an open source statistical computing environment (R Core Team, 2015). For more information about R, see the R Project homepage (https://www.r-project.org/) and the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) web page (https://cran.r-project.org/). The lavaan package provides functions for fitting and evaluating structural equation models (Rosseel, 2012). For further information about the lavaan package including tutorials, see the lavaan Project web page (http://lavaan.ugent.be/). The simsem package (Pornprasertmanit, Miller & Schoemann, 2016) provides functions to facilitate structural equation modeling simulation studies and is compatible with both lavaan and openMx (Boker, et al., 2014). For more information about the simsem package, see the simsem web page (http://simsem.org/). This document assumes some familiarity with the basics of R and assumes familiarity with lavaan model specification. The simsem web page provides extensive examples for running specific simulation conditions. The goal of this document is to provide a basic guide to implementing simple research designs by combining multiple conditions into a larger design for comparative analysis. Sample code illustrates the complete process including simulation, basic data management strategies, and graphical display of results. The document will focus on lavaan model specification and estimation but the techniques generalize to openMx. For more information about openMx, see the openMx web page (http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/).
The first section considers a simple two-group between-subjects design. The second section considers a within subjects design with two conditions. The third section combines these into a 2×2 mixed factorial design. The final section discuses the use of functions in programming simulations. This document also assumes basic familiarity with factorial research designs and terms used to describe them. Four self-contained R scripts accompany this tutorial.
