Preface

This module is one in a collection of modules designed for teaching INEW 2338 Advanced Java (Web) at Austin Community College in Austin, TX. The purpose of this module is to get youstarted with Search Engines.

Servlets, search engines, or JSON

As explained in the page titled Java4510: Preface to INEW 2338 , only one of the topics Search Engines , Servlets , or JSON is covered in the course in any particular semester. However, all three are important. The course material in the Blackboard course management programindicates which topic is covered in the current semester.

Students are encouraged to study all three topics for their own educational purposes in order to enhance their prospects of landing a job as a Java programmer.

Search engines

An understanding of search engines is a valuable skill for a programming student to acquire. Furthermore, it is practical for an instructor toassess a student's understanding of and ability to develop a web search engine written in Java. This assessment can be based solely on practicalprogramming assignments along with a written test.

The search-engine assignments can be written and tested on any computer capable of running the Java Standard Edition development kit (including the computers in the on-campus labs) with no requirement to install any special software.

The ability to develop a rudimentary search engine doesn't require any knowledge of Java programming beyond that which the student should already haveacquired in this and the prerequisite courses. However, it does require the student to do independent research into the syntax and structure of HTML webpages and to combine that knowledge with prior knowledge of Java programming. Thus, this search-engine competency requirement tests the student's abilityto apply prior Java programming knowledge to a very useful real-world scenario -- search engines.

Students will be provided the source code for a rudimentary Java web crawler that can be used as a starting point for the development of the search enginerequired for each assignment. Students who have completed the prerequisite courses should have no difficulty understanding the code in that program. It willbe the responsibility of the student to modify and upgrade the web crawler program in such a way as to satisfy the specifications for each programmingassignment.

Students will also be provided links to several online search-engine resources along with review questions and answers for use in preparing for thewritten test.

Don Reply
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
