Aims

To provide students with a deep, critical and systematic understanding of the most significant technologies for developing web applications.
To enable students to use these technologies in the development of web applications.
To provide knowledge of the characteristics of good web site design principles.


Learning Outcomes

(LO1) be able to use a range of technologies and programming languages available to organisations and businesses and be able to choose an appropriate architecture for a web application.

(LO2) be able to develop reasonably sophisticated client-side web applications using one or more suitable technologies and to make informed and critical decisions in that context.

(LO3) be able to develop reasonably sophisticated server-side web applications using one or more suitable technologies and to make informed and critical decisions in that context.

(S1) Problem Solving - Numeracy and computational skills

(S2) Problem solving – Analysing facts and situations and applying creative thinking to develop appropriate solutions.
