The first half of the course will introduce the various technologies used in state-of-the-art web sites together with the step-by-step development process. From the beginning, we will cater for access from multiple devices such as mobile phones and tablets as well as desktop browsers and show how technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript can be used to support rich forms of interaction.

In the second half of the course, we will look at how various platforms and frameworks are used to support web site development. We will start by examining the model behind modern content management platforms such as WordPress and showing how web sites with dynamic content can be systematically developed using these platforms. This will be followed by looking at the more traditional programming approaches by first introducing the Java web technology stack and then a modern web application framework. Finally, we will present model-driven approaches to web engineering.

The material covered in lectures will be supported by a series of practical exercises that will take the students through the development processes.

Course Attendance

It is considered essential that students actively participate in the course by attending the lectures and exercise sessions as well as doing the exercises.

Course Assessment

The grade is determined by coursework (25%) and final exam (75%).

The examination will be a 2 hour written examination (no materials to be brought to the exam).

The coursework consists of a series of exercises, some of which will count towards the coursework grade. When a new exercise is published, we will clearly state if it is one that counts towards the grade. The solutions to these exercises will have to be presented and, in some cases, a short report will have to be submitted.
