Whats the difference between a computer information systems degree and management information degrees? BA?

Q. Whats the difference between a computer information systems degree and management information degrees? BA.........How is one better than the other? Which would be a better option?

A. Computer Information Systems Degree (CIS) and Management Information Systems (MIS), both are graduation programs/bachelor of science degree.

Some schools will go into computer tech & even programming while others are inclined more towards business utilization of said tech. The CIS curriculum tends to have more tech based, more programming and MIS tends to have more analysis, planning, and business development and truly above all it depends on the school you choose. Some how they lead up to the same jobs and careers.

CIS and MIS are frequently misused and misunderstood programs. It really depends on how the program objectives and courses within them are defined by the schools. Example, if CIS program is offerd by IT or computer science school it is technology geared, in this case CIS program may be more technical in nature and geared towards careers as technology professionals who work directly with the implementation and administration of specific technologies. Similarly, if MIS program is offerd by business/management faculties; MIS programs are geared towards business analysts who aren't involved directly with implementation of technologies, but aspects such as making a business case, rationalizing technologies at an architecture level, managing project teams etc.


Computer Information Systems Degree (CIS) graduation program/degree prepares student for IT fields like IT support specialist, helpdesk entry positions, systems analyst, systems integrator, systems architect, network administrator, applications programmer/analyst, software developer, computer support specialist, engineer, systems administrator, systems programmer, project leader, database administrator, and, business analyst. Students utilize software applications, networks, servers, query database applications for data, create web pages, documentation and lot more using programming, systems analysis, network administration, and database management skills.

After completion of computer information system you acquire basic knowledge of computer and network security.Also, you develop analyzing, assessing, diagnosing, and troubleshooting hardware, software, network, and other desktop issues ability. Also, you develop technical skills in maintaining hardware systems, software systems, and user accounts. One learns to communicate effectively and appropriately with customers, peers, staff, and vendors.

Management information systems is the study of technology's role in making strategic business decisions. Management information systems is a business field that extends into technology similar to information systems is a technology field that extends into business.
The MIS field covers all major areas of information technology and gives a high level of knowledge on business concepts and the information systems applications needed to create solutions for contemporary business problems.

Looking for some free trouble ticket software?
Q. I run a computer shop. What I am looking for is a piece of software that allows me to quickly write out a ticket. The ticket should hold information like the persons name their phone number, whats wrong with the computer. Because I want to quickly write all the info down and print it and stick it to that persons computer. So my techs know the deal with that certain computer. Saving the tickets to a database would be handy too.

A. Just use Jitbit HelpDesk its powerfull

whats the best software methodology for website develop using dreamweaver, PHP and My SQL?
Q. im developing a web-based IT helpdesk, i want to know the best Software developmet method to use

A. Agreed. You don't need Dreamweaver. Look at aptana instead.
http://www.aptana.org

The free community edition is more than enough. It's based on the extremely popular eclipse editor for Java.

In terms of a methodology, I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

Be sure you know plain XHTML by hand first (Aptana will help you write the code, but you have to understand the code.) Don't rely on a visual WYSIWYG tool like Dreamweaver, because when you're writing PHP code, your own code creates the XHTML. You've got to know how to write it if you're going to write a program to write it.

Learn standards-compliant design: CSS for layout - no tables. Dreamweaver teaches bad habits you'll have to unlearn eventually.

Once you can create a web page, start working on JavaScript (it's cool again, thanks to AJAX) and PHP to add interactivity and permanence to your sites,

For commercial work, you'll eventually need database work, and MySQL is hard to beat.
