This course will serve as an introduction to the complexities and technologies in programming applications deployed over the Internet. Topics will include XHTML, cascading style sheets, the use of cookies, sessions, security, internationalization, cross-platform development, and the application of databases in such systems. Students are expected to have successfully completed the CSC340 Programming in the Large Course, and completion of the CSC 446 Database course is preferred.
The course will require the student(s) to participate in team-based development of a semi- large-scale web-based application. Students will be expected to deliver detailed design documentation, provide in-class ‘technical’ presentations to cross-train other students not working with the same technologies, and in-class design and implementation presentations. The final grades for this course will be based on the documentation, presentations, participation, and the final application.
Prerequisites: CSC 340
