Summer Elective - CMIS 460 Advanced Visual Basic (Database)

[Jerry]

Dr. Bock in CMIS wanted me to let CS students know about his summer course in VB and Databases.

This course will be treated as a CS 390 - counts as elective credit for all CS minors.

just a bit of advice for anyone considering this course.  If you had CS275 with Dr. White, this course won't do you much good unless you're afraid of learning web languages on your own.


I say Dr. White only becuase I'm not sure to what detail the rest of the professors teach this course.  I toiled through Dr. White's class and it made the above class somewhat...trivial.
