This module will develop a student centred approach to the technical knowledge and control of publishing to an online medium. This module will focus on end-user consideration and adding functionality to live web sites.Special attention will be paid to core and common objects and functions that will allow scalability & re-use. Site maintenance and structure will be focused on and methods introduced to allow students to develop sites of a standard that can be published successfully and reliably to multiple browsers and platforms. The web as medium will be addressed, including concepts of working within an online environment, open source access to information, sharing of resources and utilising online and printed source material. All work produced by students will be presented and maintained as live sites, which will be both viewable and accessible by the public. The module will concentrate on the delivering online media to browsers and not the software used.Attention to the re-use of core and common objects and functions will allow scalability A key focus of the module will be dynamic page creation and delivery- primarily server side scripting. Open source languages of PHP, JavaScript, XML & DHTML will be used. This will be complimented with an integration of client side scripting to enable students to produce web applications that perform their functions but also help the user.
