Macromedia Dreamweaver is a powerful web creation tool that allows non-technical people to produce professional websites. This course provides a practical introduction for those that wish to use Dreamweaver to create web-pages and manage websites. It focuses on building a small website.

This course will teach cabling Ethernet LANs.

This two-part course will describe good-practice aspects of designing, building and running a web site, and providing information on a web server. The requirements for providing accessible web pages, utilising the site-wide search engine on your web pages and liaising with a web design company are also covered.

In addition, Helen Sargan runs an "access/site design clinic" with information providers on a one-to-one basis: please contact her directly to make an appointment.

An introduction to the bibliography package EndNote and its interface with Microsoft Word. EndNote is a program that stores bibliographic references, and notes about those references, in an EndNote Library. EndNote then interfaces with MS Word to help you create a bibliography and bibliographic citations while you type a document. The style (contents and layout) of the citations and bibliography can then be formatted in an Output Style of your choice; this can easily be changed without retyping.

This course gives a simple introduction to organizing your data in a relational database. It aims to explain the arranging of your data. It does not deal with specific relational databases systems such as Access, Oracle or SQL Server, or the technical tools that you would or could use to set up your database. The course aims to provide you with enough information to sit down and design your database, regardless of the database product that you intend to use. Exercises will be done on paper, without using computers.

This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.

This course will introduce more advanced aspects of the Python language than the "Python for Absolute Beginners" course or "Python for Programmers" courses. The course will cover topics such as file I/O in more detail than either of those two courses. Whilst the course will not cover the use of Python to produce graphical output, some mention will be made of how Python can be used to interface with tools such as gnuplot to produce graphical output of scientific data.

This course does not explicitly cover the object oriented aspects of the Python language.

The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) programme is open to University IT Supporters. It covers network technology, protocols and theory at deeper levels reflective of university practices. There is a fee to attend this course.

You will learn the basics of routing, switching, and advanced technologies to acquire the skills required to provide a robust and secure network in your institution and it prepares you for CCNA certification.

We offer this program as instructor led with remote access to the curriculum and an online networks laboratory called NETLAB. There is a mix of lecture, demonstrations and a heavy emphasis on practical activities using live lab equipment and a simulation package. Further details and pricing information are available.

This is the first module of four modules in CCNA.

1. Networking Fundamentals 2. LAN Switching and Wireless 3. Routing Protocols and Concepts 4. Accessing the WAN

This course will introduce methods in Python for accessing the operating system environment (e.g. standard input, standard output, environment variables, etc). The course will cover topics such as command-line parsing in more detail than the "Python Introduction for Absolute Beginners" or "Python Introduction for Programmers".

The course is designed to take someone from having no knowledge of the Unix command line to being able to navigate around directories, and doing simple file manipulation. Then some of the more basic commands, will be introduced, including information on how to get more help from the system itself. Finally accessing remote computers by ssh and the most basic of shell scripts will be introduced.

This course explains how to construct and use regular expressions in Python (using the re module). It does not discuss how to construct complex regular expressions, nor does it cover regular expressions themselves in much detail, rather it focuses on how to use regular expressions in Python.

For a detailed discussion of regular expressions see the "Pattern Matching Using Regular Expressions" course.

A course in basic C programming intended for beginners to programming only. The aim of the course is to get everyone to the stage of being able to write small utility programs in C for carrying out simple calculations and data manipulation.

This beginners course equips you with the skills to implement a relational database design entity relationship diagram (ERD) into a MySQL database.
