Description

Web application development is the creation and maintenance of software applications to be used on the World Wide Web. It is performed by set of specific, specialised coders with skills in a variety of protocols, languages and frameworks. This module is intended to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of the underlying issues involved in the development of web applications. The focus is on demonstrating a number of typically (but not exclusively) Java-based technologies and how these systems can be combined to create modern web applications.

Learning Outcomes

1. design and implement basic web applications through the java programming language
2. use the core building blocks for web-based systems to incrementally create web applications
3. create database structures to represent real-world entities and interact with these structures through SQL and JDBC
4. implement and demonstrate, in software, a set of technologies used in the development of modern web applications
5. explain a number of the challenges facing web application developers and provide solutions to address these issues
