This module will design and implement HTML and JavaScript form-based input systems, Java Server Pages will be implemented, and for example an online shop constructed. Students will design data models, databases, and data classes for web applications.
The aim of this module is to provide an understanding of the principles that underlie the design of web applications, and to provide practical experience of the technologies used in their construction.
After completing this module, students will be expected to be able to:
1. Design and implement HTML and JavaScript form-based input systems.
2. Write Java Server Pages (JSPs) and Java classes that implement key web application components (e.g. a shopping basket for an on-line shop).
3. Use appropriate techniques to manage session state.
4. Design and implement data models, databases and data bound classes to support web applications.
