The World Wide Web (WWW) has become the primary means by which we conduct searches and perform billing transactions—events that can only occur with the support of specific applications. The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the design and development of such applications. This course will expose you to the basic fundamentals of the Internet and Web protocols, the different architectures that Web-related applications use, and the programming languages that enable the development of Web applications, placing particular emphasis on JavaScript, HTML, XML, AJAX, and Java Server Pages (JSP).

We will also cover matters of security and reliability in the development of web applications via the use of transport encryption and authentication.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the Internet and Web Protocols.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of Client-Server Architecture.
  • Explain how Web Software works.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Programming concepts.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of basic JavaScript, AJAX, and Java Server Pages (JSP).
  • Demonstrate an understanding of Web Security and Encryption.

CS: Software Engineering CS: Information & Technology

Technology continues to evolve and provide us with increasingly powerful mobile devices. As a result, applications that can run on a browser must also be written such that they are compatible with mobile devices, the majority of which are now web-enabled. Meanwhile, there is an increasing demand for native applications that can be downloaded to and run on mobile devices. This course will address these trends, teaching you to think about the unique design and deployment issues that must be taken into consideration when developing applications for mobile devices.
